Golf Acres at Emaar South by Emaar Properties

Golf Acres at Emaar South is a residential development by Emaar Properties inside the Emaar South master community in Dubai. It comprises 158 residences in total: 1 to 3 bedroom apartments arranged across a podium and 16 residential floors, plus 10 townhouses at ground level, positioned on the edge of the 18-hole championship golf course. Handover is scheduled for Q4 2028.

Golf Acres is located in Emaar South, the Emaar master community within the Dubai South district. By car it is approximately 5 minutes from Al Maktoum International Airport, 30 minutes from Dubai Marina, 35 minutes from Downtown Dubai, and 50 minutes from Abu Dhabi city centre, with road access via Emirates Road and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road.

The project offers 1 bedroom apartments of approximately 738 to 827 sq ft (69 to 77 sq m), 2 bedroom apartments of approximately 1,219 to 1,731 sq ft (113 to 161 sq m), 3 bedroom apartments of approximately 1,804 to 2,255 sq ft (168 to 210 sq m), and 3 bedroom townhouses of approximately 2,563 to 2,564 sq ft (238 sq m). All sizes are total area including balcony or terrace.

Handover is scheduled for Q4 2028. The project is currently under construction, and site progress against RERA inspection data is recorded month by month in the Golf Acres at Emaar South construction updates guide.

Prices start from AED 1.05M ≈ USD 286K for a 1 bedroom apartment. A 2 bedroom apartment starts from AED 1.90M ≈ USD 517K, a 3 bedroom apartment from AED 3.14M ≈ USD 855K, and a 3 bedroom townhouse from AED 4.73M ≈ USD 1.29M. Emaar controls pricing through staged releases and typically revises it upward as construction milestones are reached, so these figures reflect the current release rather than a fixed long term list.

Golf Acres follows an 80/20 construction linked payment plan with no post handover component. Booking requires 10% plus the 4% DLD registration fee and an AED 3,000 Oqood fee. The remaining instalments are 10% in September 2026, 15% in January 2027, 10% in May 2027, 15% in September 2027, 10% in January 2028, and 10% in June 2028, with the final 20% payable on 100% construction and handover.

The 10 year UAE Golden Visa property route requires a real estate investment of at least AED 2M ≈ USD 545K. At Golf Acres that threshold is met by the 3 bedroom apartments from AED 3.14M and the 3 bedroom townhouses from AED 4.73M. The 1 and 2 bedroom apartments fall below the threshold on a single unit basis. The eligibility criteria and application steps are set out in the Golf Acres at Emaar South Golden Visa guide.

Yes. Golf Acres at Emaar South is a freehold development, open to buyers of all nationalities, with ownership registered in the buyer's own name at the Dubai Land Department.

Yes. The full sequence, from reservation and booking payment through to SPA signing and Oqood registration, can be completed remotely without travelling to Dubai, and I handle it end to end with Emaar on the buyer's behalf. Each stage of the remote purchase is documented in my Dubai real estate guide library.

Off plan instalments are paid into the project's DLD-registered escrow account rather than directly to the developer, and are released to Emaar only against verified construction progress. The framework is regulated by the Dubai Land Department under UAE escrow legislation for off plan sales. The mechanics are explained in the Golf Acres at Emaar South escrow account guide.

That depends on the holding horizon more than the address. Entry at AED 1.05M with 10% plus fees at booking keeps committed capital low across a plan running to Q4 2028, and the value case for Emaar South rests on the expansion of Al Maktoum International Airport and the Dubai South employment corridor rather than on established demand. The decision factors are the holding period, whether the exit is a resale before handover or a rental hold afterwards, and tolerance for a district still being built out. Within the masterplan, golf frontage plots are finite while inland plots continue to be released, which is what separates pricing between projects in the same community.
