Golf Point Emaar South Dubai

Golf Point is an Emaar Properties apartment release beside the 9th hole of the championship golf course at Emaar South, the Emaar community in Dubai South near Al Maktoum International Airport. It is two mid-rise buildings, Golf Point 1 at ground, podium and 12 floors and Golf Point 2 at ground, podium and 13, with about 566 apartments in all. Unlike its golf-course neighbours it has no townhouses: just one, two and three-bedroom flats of about 675 to 2,191 sq ft.

One-bedrooms are listed from AED 850,000 (about Rs 2.19 crore), the lowest entry to Emaar's golf clusters, and the launch sheet started at AED 949,888. The plan is 10/70/20 with nothing after handover, and handover is Q4 2028. The clubhouse and the driving range are beside the buildings.

At a glance

Price and unit pricing

We print AED 850,000 because two portal pages give it as the one-bedroom start and a third gives AED 854,000 for a 675 - 907 sq ft one-bedroom, which is within half a per cent. Propsearch records the launch price as "from AED 949,888", about 12% higher. The two can both be true: the lower figure may be a smaller or lower-floor unit, or a resale ask below launch. With about 97 apartments listed for resale on one portal, the DLD transactions for Golf Point 1 and 2 are the document that settles what units really sell for.

Against the other golf buildings

At about AED 1,259 per sq ft on the entry unit, Golf Point is the cheapest per foot of the golf-course releases on our pages: Golf Dale launched near AED 1,436, Golf Edge near AED 1,470 and Golf Fields near AED 1,593. Scale explains most of that gap. Against Emaar South's 2026 range of AED 1,150 to 1,900 per sq ft, Golf Point sits near the bottom, and it is the one golf release where a one-bedroom costs less than the district's average apartment sale of about AED 1.72M by a wide margin.

Payment plan and total cost

The plan is 10/70/20: 10% on booking, 70% during construction and 20% on handover, which several pages call 80/20. There is no post-handover portion.

Worked example: a AED 850,000 one-bedroom

Buying a resale. With handover about two years away, much of the 70% construction share has been called on launch contracts. A resale buyer repays the seller what they have paid Emaar plus their premium and takes over the remaining instalments; the 4% DLD fee is charged on the full resale price. Ask Emaar for the seller's statement of account and its transfer fee in writing before paying a deposit.

Service charge. Emaar has not published one. Dubai charges run from about AED 3 to more than AED 30 per sq ft a year. A two-tower building with pools and a gym spreads its costs over 566 homes, which usually keeps the rate moderate. Each AED 10 per sq ft costs about AED 6,750 a year on a 675 sq ft one-bedroom.

Location and connectivity

Emaar South is inside Dubai South, reached from Emirates Road (E611) and Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road (E311), with Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC) about five minutes away and Expo City Dubai about ten. There is no metro in the community; the Red Line's UAE Exchange station is about 17 km by road.

Within Emaar South, Golf Point has the most central golf position of the apartment releases: beside the 9th hole, and near the clubhouse and the driving range. Gulf News reported that the Emaar South Golf Club, an 18-hole championship course, is due to open in Q4 2026, two years before these towers hand over. The rest of the district is mid-build, so expect construction nearby after 2028.

For comparison, Golf Dale hands over in the same quarter with townhouses in the mix, and Golf Edge a quarter later in a single smaller block. See the district on our Dubai South page, all Dubai projects we track and the projects list.

Amenities and specifications

Emaar lists adult and children's pools, a children's play area, a multi-purpose room and a fully equipped gym for Golf Point, with the community centre, the course, the clubhouse and the driving range beside the buildings. That is a practical set rather than a showy one, which matters for the service charge.

The apartments are sold on floor-to-ceiling windows and golf views. One-bedrooms range from about 675 to 907 sq ft, so the smallest is the most compact entry on the course; the largest homes reach about 2,191 sq ft. In a 566-home release the view is what separates one unit from another, so ask which side of the building a unit faces, and whether it looks onto the 9th hole or onto the next plot.

About the developer

Emaar Properties built Burj Khalifa, The Dubai Mall and Downtown Dubai, and master-planned Dubai Marina, Dubai Hills Estate and Dubai Creek Harbour. It says it has delivered more than 84,000 homes since 2002, 3,633 in the first half of 2026 alone, a half in which it sold AED 26.6 billion of property and grew its revenue backlog to AED 164.9 billion.

Emaar has already delivered the Expo Golf Villas phases and Golf Links in Emaar South, so the risk at Golf Point is not whether the towers are finished. It is what happens when they are: about 566 apartments here, plus Golf Dale in the same quarter and Golf Edge soon after, all reach the rental and resale market together. More than 67,000 Emaar units are under development, 51,441 of them in the UAE, and Emaar South will keep releasing.

For Indian buyers

Ownership. Emaar South is freehold for foreign buyers. The DLD records an off-plan purchase as an Oqood and issues the title deed in your name at handover. The UAE charges no annual property tax and no VAT on a residential sale; the government cost is the 4% DLD transfer fee, AED 34,000 on the one-bedroom.

Remittance. Under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme each person can send USD 250,000 per financial year. The one-bedroom with fees is about AED 888,000, roughly USD 242,000, so a single buyer can fund the whole purchase inside one year's allowance, which Golf Dale, Golf Edge and Golf Fields one-bedrooms do not allow. TCS of 20% above Rs 10 lakh a year is adjusted against your income tax.

Golden Visa. The property route needs AED 2 million. A three-bedroom from AED 2.05M clears it, just; confirm the title deed value will be at least AED 2M before relying on it.

Rent and tax. No rent is published yet. 2026 guides put Emaar South one-bedroom yields near 6.8% gross, about AED 57,800 a year on AED 850,000 before service charges; in the first year after a 566-unit handover, expect less. The rent is untaxed in the UAE; an Indian tax resident declares it in India with the 30% standard deduction and reports the flat as a foreign asset.

Pros

• The lowest entry on the Emaar South golf course: AED 850,000, about AED 1,259 per sq ft
• Next to the 9th hole, the clubhouse and the driving range - the most central golf address
• With fees, one person can fund a one-bedroom inside a single year's LRS allowance
• A three-bedroom from AED 2.05M just clears the Golden Visa threshold
• An active resale market (about 97 apartments listed on one portal) gives an exit route

Cons

• About 566 apartments hand over in the same quarter - rents and resale will feel that supply
• Two starting prices in print: AED 850,000 on the portals and AED 949,888 at launch
• No townhouses and no private gardens; this is a straightforward apartment product
• No metro; the Red Line is about 17 km away
• No DLD project number or service-charge budget published

Who this is for

• First-time Dubai investors wanting an Emaar one-bedroom under AED 900,000
• Golfers who want to walk to the clubhouse and driving range
• Golden Visa buyers who can stretch to a three-bedroom from AED 2.05M
• Buyers who want keys in 2028 rather than 2029 or 2030

Who should look elsewhere

• Buyers who want a small building - this is the biggest golf-course release
• Anyone who needs a townhouse or garden
• Metro commuters
• Investors counting on a quick resale premium into a 566-unit handover

Our verdict

Golf Point is Emaar South's volume product on the golf course: about 566 apartments in two mid-rise towers, apartments only, beside the 9th hole and the driving range. That scale is why it is the cheapest way onto the course, AED 850,000 for a one-bedroom or about AED 1,259 per sq ft, well below Golf Dale, Golf Edge and Golf Fields. It is also the main risk: every apartment hands over in Q4 2028, and landlords will compete for the same tenants in the same months. The launch figure of AED 949,888 on propsearch against AED 850,000 on the portals means you should check DLD transactions for the tower before agreeing a resale price. For a buyer on a tight budget it is the most sensible Emaar golf entry.

Buy a one-bedroom close to AED 850,000 if you want Emaar, the golf course and keys in 2028 for the least money, and hold through the first year of handover supply. Pick a higher floor facing the 9th hole, since the view is what separates units in a 566-home release. Look elsewhere for a townhouse, a small building or metro access.

FAQs

What is the price of Golf Point?

The portals list one-bedrooms from AED 850,000 (about Rs 2.19 crore) for about 675 - 907 sq ft, two-bedrooms from AED 1.2M and three-bedrooms from AED 2.05M. Propsearch records the launch price as from AED 949,888. Most units offered now are resales, so the seller's ask and the DLD record decide the real figure.

What is the payment plan for Golf Point?

10% on booking, 70% during construction and 20% at handover. On AED 850,000 that is AED 85,000, AED 595,000 and AED 170,000, plus AED 34,000 of DLD transfer fee.

When is handover for Golf Point?

Q4 2028 on most sources; propsearch estimates October 2028. The SPA date binds.

How is Golf Point different from Golf Dale and Golf Edge?

Golf Point is apartments only, about 566 of them in two towers of 12 and 13 floors, beside the 9th hole and the driving range, and it starts lowest at AED 850,000. Golf Dale and Golf Edge are smaller releases that mix apartments with townhouses and start at AED 1.12M and AED 1,170,000.

Does Golf Point qualify for the UAE Golden Visa?

A three-bedroom from AED 2.05M qualifies on the title deed value. One and two-bedrooms do not reach the AED 2M threshold.

What is the service charge at Golf Point?

Not published for Golf Point. Dubai charges run from about AED 3 to more than AED 30 per sq ft a year; ask Emaar for the budget before handover.

What rent can a Golf Point apartment earn?

No rent is published yet. 2026 guides put Emaar South one-bedroom yields near 6.8% gross; at that rate AED 850,000 earns about AED 57,800 a year before service charges, but 566 units reaching the market together can push first-year rents down.

Can an Indian buyer own a unit at Golf Point?

Yes. Emaar South is freehold for foreign buyers. The money leaves India under the LRS, up to USD 250,000 per person per financial year, and the DLD issues the title deed in your name after handover.
