Golf Fields Emaar South Dubai is a collection of 1 to 3 bedroom apartments and 3 bedroom townhouses in Emaar South, Dubai South, for which Emaar prints a starting price of AED 1,260,000 (about USD 343,091, at the pegged rate of 3.6725) and no handover date, so the dates and prices on this page come from named sources and are dated.

This guide to Golf Fields Emaar South Dubai reads three Emaar pages, the 22-page floor-plan PDF and eight portal and press pages as they stood on 15 November 2026. It adds a unit-by-unit schedule calculated from the PDF, the handover and payment figures each source prints, the Dubai off-plan rules with their official sources, and a list of what to ask for in writing before reserving.
The Emaar project page is titled Golf Fields at Emaar South and carries the headline “Serene Golfside Vistas Await”. Its key facts list 1 to 3 bedroom apartments, 3 bedroom townhouses and a starting price of AED 1,260,000. The page names the community Emaar South and the area Dubai South, and the Emaar map names Golf Views, Golf Point and Urbana III as nearby Emaar projects. It prints no plot or sub-community number. The page code shows a last-modified stamp of 8 June 2026.

What the page does not print is as useful as what it prints. There is no handover date, no payment plan, no construction progress, no count of homes and no service-charge figure. The page offers a brochure, a floor-plan PDF and a “Register Interest” button; the page text shows no payment plan, and its interface strings indicate that plans are displayed per unit when one is loaded. This guide did not use any enquiry form.
Emaar’s Latest Launches page marks the project “Just launched” and, on 15 November 2026, gave it no “from” line and no units-available line, while the neighbouring Emaar South cards for Golf Trails and Golf Vale showed “from AED 1.91M” with 16 units and “from AED 1.99M” with 10 units. The Emaar South community page lists Golf Fields as “Open to explore” with “From AED 1,260,000” for 1 to 3 bedrooms.
The table below is the reference for the rest of the guide. Each row names where the figure comes from; the sections that follow show where sources differ and never pick one value over another.

Twelve pages say something about this project. Emaar publishes the name, the unit mix, the starting price, the amenities, the coordinates and the floor-plan PDF. The portals add a count of homes, a floor count, a payment plan, a handover and a tenure. They were read on 15 November 2026 and do not all carry a date of their own, which is stated where it matters. The first table sets the descriptive facts side by side.
| Item | Emaar (page and PDF) | Rumavi | Property Finder | opr.ae | Others |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Area name | Emaar South; Dubai South | Emaar South, Dubai; FAQ says Madinat Al Mataar | Dubai South (Dubai World Central); Emaar South | Emaar South | Primo: Emaar South |
| Homes | Not printed; PDF lists 181 unit numbers | 181: 93, 59, 22 and 7 | Not printed as a total | 181 apartments with 1 to 3 BR and 3 BR townhouses | No other total found |
| Buildings | PDF shows one podium-and-tower plan | One building | One building | Not stated | – |

| Payment plan | Not printed | 10% booking, seven 10% instalments, 20% at handover | 10/70/20 | 80/20 | See section 5 |
The portals agree with the PDF on the four types and with one another on one building. They differ on the area name: only Rumavi uses “Madinat Al Mataar”, in one FAQ answer, and Emaar does not. A single dated source for a district name is not a reason to rename the community, so this guide uses Emaar South, Dubai South, as Emaar does, and notes the second name once.
One further reading comes from a classifieds site whose page could not be opened because of a bot check on 15 November 2026, so it is not used. Two other pages that appear in search summaries, a broker page for a “Golf Fields 2” and a metropolitan broker page, were not opened either, and no figure from them appears here.

The launch dates differ by about two months: 5 or 6 April 2026 in a register-derived timeline, 1 June 2026 on a broker page, and a June 2026 label on a payment plan. They may describe different events, such as a registration date, a first sales release and a plan issue, and no source says which. Emaar itself prints none of them, so none is treated as the official launch date.
Three Emaar pages print a price or a status for Golf Fields Emaar South Dubai, and they use different words. The project page prints “Starting price AED 1,260,000” without the word “from”. The community page prints “From AED 1,260,000” for 1 to 3 bedrooms and the label “Open to explore”. The Latest Launches card prints neither a price nor a unit count.

A starting price counts here as printed because the community page uses the word “from”. Emaar does not say which unit type it refers to.
Units-available counts on Emaar pages change daily and are quoted only with their date. On 15 November 2026 the Latest Launches data carried 0 units for Golf Fields and no “units available” text, and that is a statement about that day’s display, not a claim about stock. The portals print per-type starting prices that the table below sets out with the arithmetic at the peg. Source pages state the AED figures; the USD figures are calculated here at 3.6725.
| Golf Fields: price figure | AED as printed | About USD at 3.6725 | Source and date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starting price, project page | 1,260,000 | 343,091 | emaar.com, 15 Nov 2026 |
| “From” price, community page (1 to 3 BR) | 1,260,000 | 343,091 | emaar.com, 15 Nov 2026 |
| Latest Launches card | No price shown | – | emaar.com, 15 Nov 2026 |
| 1 BR from (listing sites) | 1,260,000 (opr.ae, Rumavi); 1,300,000 (Property Finder, Primo); 1,200,000 (E&V) | 343,091; 353,982; 326,753 | Portals, 15 Nov 2026 |
| 2 BR from (listing sites) | 1,870,000 (opr.ae, Rumavi); 1,900,000 (Property Finder, Primo); 1,800,000 (E&V) | 509,190; 517,359; 490,129 | Portals, 15 Nov 2026 |
| 3 BR apartment from (listing sites) | 2,720,000 (opr.ae, Rumavi); 2,700,000 (Property Finder, Primo) | 740,640; 735,194 | Portals, 15 Nov 2026 |
| 3 BR townhouse from (listing sites) | 5,020,000 (opr.ae, Rumavi); 5,000,000 (Property Finder, Primo) | 1,366,916; 1,361,470 | Portals, 15 Nov 2026 |
| Emaar South community “prices from” (all projects) | 1,060,000 | 288,632 | emaar.com, 15 Nov 2026 |
The portal figures are listing-site indications and are not Emaar prices. Property Finder prints a “launch price” of AED 1.3M and Engel & Voelkers prints AED 1,200,000 in its header while its own text says “starting from AED 1.26 million” for the one-bedroom type. The two differences between pages of the same site show why a unit price list with unit numbers belongs in the written requests in section 11.
Rumavi also prints a price per square metre by type, which this guide quotes because the source states it and the type sizes are rounded: AED 17,143 for a one-bedroom of 74 m², AED 17,093 for a two-bedroom of 109 m², AED 17,930 for a three-bedroom of 152 m² and AED 20,234 for a townhouse of 248 m². These are launch figures from one listing site, dated to its August 2026 data, and no per-square-foot price is printed by Emaar.
The most detailed document Emaar publishes for this project is the floor-plan PDF, 22 pages long, which lists every unit number under a layout type with suite, balcony or terrace and total areas in square feet and square metres.

Counting the unit numbers gives 181 homes, and the count matches the totals that Rumavi and opr.ae print. Everything in this section is calculated from that PDF on 15 November 2026 and is labelled as arithmetic. The PDF carries Emaar’s own note that areas are approximate and subject to change.
| Golf Fields Emaar South Dubai: type | Units in PDF | Share of units | Total area m² (PDF) | Total area sq ft (PDF) | Share of summed area |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 bedroom apartments | 93 | 51.4% | 73.51 to 89.26 | 791.26 to 960.79 | 36.2% |
| 2 bedroom apartments | 59 | 32.6% | 109.42 to 130.18 | 1,177.79 to 1,401.25 | 36.5% |
| 3 bedroom apartments | 22 | 12.2% | 151.71 to 199.78 | 1,632.99 to 2,150.41 | 18.0% |
| 3 bedroom townhouses | 7 | 3.9% | 248.06 to 258.10 | 2,670.10 to 2,778.17 | 9.3% |
| All homes | 181 | 100% | 73.51 to 258.10 | 791.26 to 2,778.17 | 100% (19,116.51 m²) |
One-bedroom apartments are 93 of 181 homes, a little over half, yet they hold about 36 percent of the summed total area, nearly the same share as the 59 two-bedroom apartments. The 22 three-bedroom apartments hold 18 percent and the seven townhouses 9 percent. The summed total area of all 181 homes is 19,116.51 m², calculated by adding every unit’s printed total area; it includes balconies and terraces and is not a sellable-area statement by Emaar.
Within each type the printed areas vary less than the type names suggest. The one-bedroom totals run from 73.51 to 89.26 m², but 90 of the 93 sit between 73.51 and 75.18 m². The three that reach 88.55 to 89.26 m² are first-floor homes with terraces.
The two-bedroom totals run from 109.42 to 130.18 m², with 57 of 59 between 109.42 and 120.85 m². The three-bedroom range of 151.71 to 199.78 m² is the same story: 20 apartments at 151.71 to 151.88 m² and two with large terraces.
| Level in the PDF | Homes | 1 BR | 2 BR | 3 BR | Townhouses | Summed total area m² |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Podium (P01 to P09) | 9 | 5 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 849.73 |
| First floor (101 to 115) | 15 | 8 | 5 | 2 | 0 | 1,653.92 |
| Floors 2 to 11 (15 homes each) | 150 | 80 | 50 | 20 | 0 | 14,833.10 |
| Townhouses (TH-01 to TH-07) | 7 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 7 | 1,779.76 |
| All levels | 181 | 93 | 59 | 22 | 7 | 19,116.51 |
The PDF numbers homes by level: P01 to P09 on the podium, 101 to 115 on the first floor and then four-digit or three-digit numbers up to 1115 on floor 11. Each of floors 2 to 11 has the same 15 homes in the same mix, eight one-bedroom, five two-bedroom and two three-bedroom apartments, so those ten floors hold 150 of the 181 homes.
The first floor has the same 15 positions and the same mix, but seven of its homes carry a terrace or a large balcony, which is why its summed area is larger.
Calculated from the unit lists, the position pattern repeats on every level from the first floor up: positions 04 and 14 are the three-bedroom apartments, positions 01, 05, 10, 11 and 13 are two-bedroom apartments, and the rest are one-bedroom apartments, with the first floor and the podium varying where terraces and podium homes replace them.
The podium holds nine homes, five one-bedroom and four two-bedroom, and no three-bedroom apartment. Emaar’s PDF says the unit numbers by floor and nothing about views, so none are inferred here.
| Golf Fields: home type | Suite area m² (PDF) | Balcony or terrace m² (PDF) | Average outdoor share of total, % | Range of outdoor share, % |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 bedroom | 65.82 to 67.49 | 7.58 to 23.07 | 10.9 | 10.2 to 25.8 |
| 2 bedroom | 101.73 to 103.80 | 7.69 to 28.43 | 13.0 | 7.0 to 21.8 |
| 3 bedroom | 135.03 to 135.22 | 16.68 to 64.66 | 12.9 | 11.0 to 32.4 |
| Townhouse | 202.40 to 203.57 | 45.35 to 55.69 | 20.2 | 18.3 to 21.6 |
Suite areas are tightly grouped: 65.82 to 67.49 m² for the one-bedroom apartments, 101.73 to 103.80 m² for the two-bedroom apartments, 135.03 to 135.22 m² for the three-bedroom apartments and 202.40 to 203.57 m² for the townhouses.
The spread in total area therefore comes almost entirely from the outdoor part. A buyer comparing two one-bedroom units at 73.51 and 89.26 m² is comparing a balcony of about 7.7 m² with a terrace of about 23 m², and a price list should say which one it describes.
| Unit number | Layout in the PDF | Suite m² | Terrace or balcony m² | Total m² |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 101 | 2BR type 4 | 101.75 | 28.43 | 130.18 |
| 102 | 1BR type 2 | 65.94 | 22.61 | 88.55 |
| 103 | 1BR type 2 | 65.94 | 22.61 | 88.55 |
| 104 | 3BR type 2 | 135.22 | 64.56 | 199.78 |
| 105 | 2BR type 5 | 103.74 | 25.19 | 128.93 |
| 114 | 3BR type 2A | 135.03 | 64.66 | 199.69 |
| 115 | 1BR type 2 | 66.19 | 23.07 | 89.26 |
Seven first-floor homes have an outdoor area above 20 m². Units 102, 103 and 115 are one-bedroom apartments with terraces of 22.61 to 23.07 m². Unit 101 is a two-bedroom apartment with a 28.43 m² terrace and unit 105 a two-bedroom apartment with a 25.19 m² balcony.
Units 104 and 114 are three-bedroom apartments with terraces of 64.56 and 64.66 m², giving totals of 199.78 and 199.69 m². The seven townhouses carry terraces of 45.35 to 55.69 m² on top of 202.40 to 203.57 m² of suite area over a lower and upper floor.
None of this tells a buyer which units are for sale, in what finish or at what price. Emaar prints no stock, and the third-party starting prices apply to the smallest unit of each type. The unit schedule is useful for one purpose: matching a unit number on a reservation form to a layout, a floor and an area in Emaar’s own document before any money moves.
Emaar’s project page prints no handover date and no payment plan; its interface strings indicate that plans are displayed per unit when one is loaded. Every figure below therefore comes from a portal or a register-derived listing. The sources do not agree, and the table sets them out with the exact wording and the date seen. No source is picked; the date that binds a buyer is the one written into the sale contract.

| Source | Handover figure as printed | Date or note |
|---|---|---|
| Emaar project page | Not printed | Read 15 Nov 2026 |
| Rumavi | 28 February 2030 (register); header “Q1 2030”; payment table “On completion (register: 28 February 2030)” | Register data to 6 Aug 2026 |
| Property Finder | Header “Q1 2030”; key information “February 2030”; timeline “Expected completion February 28, 2030” | Undated page, 2026 |
| opr.ae | September 2030 | Undated page, 2026 |
| famproperties | 30 September 2030 | Undated page, 2026 |
| Primo Capital | “Est. Completion 2030-09-30” | Read 15 Nov 2026 |
| Aigents Realty | Key facts “Not announced yet”; FAQ “TBA”; payment plan “20% on handover at completion in September 2030” | Plan June 2026; read 15 Nov 2026 |
| Engel & Voelkers | Q4 2030 | Undated page, 2026 |
The span runs from February 2030 to September 2030 and the fourth quarter of 2030, which is wide for one building. Rumavi notes that the September figure on one broker schedule is seven months after the register date.
A date printed by a portal can come from a register field, a broker schedule or an estimate, and the pages rarely say which. The question to put to the seller is the contractual handover date and whether it is a fixed date, a quarter or a range, and what the contract says about the permitted tolerance.
Payment plans are in a similar position. Property Finder prints “10/70/20”; opr.ae describes 10 percent on booking, 70 percent during construction and 20 percent at handover, and writes it as “80/20”; Primo Capital and Engel & Voelkers also print “80/20”. Two pages, Aigents Realty and Rumavi, print the same dated schedule, and Aigents labels it as the developer plan of June 2026. The table shows that schedule, with the amounts calculated on AED 1,260,000, the starting price, purely as arithmetic.
| Instalment in the schedule | Milestone or date as printed | Share | AED on 1,260,000 (calculated) | About USD at 3.6725 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Booking | On signing | 10% | 126,000 | 34,309 |
| 2nd | October 2026 | 10% | 126,000 | 34,309 |
| 3rd | June 2027 | 10% | 126,000 | 34,309 |
| 4th | October 2027 | 10% | 126,000 | 34,309 |
| 5th | March 2028 (20% built) | 10% | 126,000 | 34,309 |
| 6th | September 2028 (40% built) | 10% | 126,000 | 34,309 |
| 7th | February 2029 (60% built) | 10% | 126,000 | 34,309 |
| 8th | July 2029 (80% built) | 10% | 126,000 | 34,309 |
| Handover | On completion | 20% | 252,000 | 68,618 |
| Total | 100% | 1,260,000 | 343,091 |
The schedule ties the last four construction instalments to stages of completion, labelled 20, 40, 60 and 80 percent built. Whether the same calendar applies to a contract signed in November 2026, and who certifies the stage, is a question for the sale and purchase agreement.
The Dubai Land Department states that a payment schedule based on completion rates entitles the buyer to know the current completion percentage, as section 8 sets out. Emaar prints none of this for Golf Fields, and the dates are a portal copy dated June 2026. A 2.5 percent monthly plan for residents that appears in a search summary of a broker page was not read and is left out.
Emaar’s amenity list for the project has ten items. The portals add words such as parking, lifts and security that Emaar does not list, and they are not repeated here. The table keeps Emaar’s wording and shows how the items map to the amenity vocabulary used on this site, so a reader can see what is and is not on the developer’s list.

| Amenity as Emaar prints it | Site feature name | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Adult Pool | Swimming Pool | Page text also says infinity pool in the highlights |
| Kids Pool | Swimming Pool | Counted with the pool |
| Splash Pad | – | Not in the site feature list |
| Kids Play Area | – | Not in the site feature list |
| Padel Court | – | Not in the site feature list |
| Event Lawn | – | Not in the site feature list |
| BBQ Area | Barbeque | Also “BBQ zones” in the highlights text |
| Ping Pong Table | – | Not in the site feature list |
| Indoor and Outdoor Yoga Area | – | Not in the site feature list |
| Indoor and Outdoor Gym | Gym | Listed as indoor and outdoor |
No sauna and no air-conditioning line appears in Emaar’s list. Emaar’s gallery holds three exterior and three interior renders; the render descriptions on this site follow what each picture shows and no more. The interior pictures carry no statement of the finish or the fittings that a unit includes, so the contract specification, not the render, is the document that says what is delivered.
The golf course in the community is more than a backdrop on a map. According to Gulf News, in an article updated on 23 October 2026, Emaar Hospitality Group opened Emaar South Golf Club on 5 October 2026, its fourth golf facility. The article gives European Golf Design as the course designer, a length of 7,278 yards from the black tees, a driving range, a clubhouse and a restaurant, and says that membership options are expected in future phases.
That last point matters for a buyer. The article does not say that a home at Golf Fields includes membership or any priority access, and Emaar’s project page does not either. If golf access is part of why a buyer is considering the project, the question belongs in writing, as item 8 of the list in section 11, and the answer should come from Emaar, not from a portal.
At community level Emaar prints statistics on the Emaar South page: 15,360 apartment units, 22,700 residential units, 53,000 m² of retail and dining space, an 18-hole championship golf course and 25 neighbourhood parks. These describe the whole community as planned by Emaar, not the project, and the page does not date them.
Emaar describes Emaar South as a residential community in Dubai South with apartments, townhouses and villas, close to Al Maktoum International Airport and to Expo City. Its map image of Dubai communities places Emaar South beside the airport. The project page gives a map point at 24.865357 north and 55.137989 east, and lists Golf Views, Golf Point and Urbana III as nearby Emaar projects, with drive times that the page estimates in the visitor’s browser from OpenStreetMap data and does not print.

Using the coordinates in Emaar’s own map data, the straight-line distances from the Golf Fields point are about 0.62 km to Golf Views, 0.78 km to Golf Point and 0.92 km to Urbana III. These are great-circle distances calculated on 15 November 2026 and are not road distances. They say that the four projects are neighbours inside one community, and nothing about walking routes or the layout of roads.
| Golf Fields: nearby Emaar project | Latitude and longitude in Emaar map data | Straight line from Golf Fields, km (calculated) |
|---|---|---|
| Golf Views | 24.8622087, 55.1430969 | 0.62 |
| Golf Point | 24.860620621, 55.143678080 | 0.78 |
| Urbana III | 24.8627733, 55.1466589 | 0.92 |
Drive times to the wider city come only from portals, they are not measured on a stated route or at a stated time, and they differ. The table lists each page’s figures. A buyer who plans to commute will need to test the route at the hours that matter, because none of the sources says what traffic assumption it uses.
| Destination | Property Finder | Engel & Voelkers | Primo Capital | opr.ae | Gulf News |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Al Maktoum International Airport | 10 min | 5 min | 7 min | 5 min | About 10 min (golf club) |
| Expo City Dubai | 15 min | 15 min | 10 min | 10 min | – |
| Dubai Marina | 25 min | 25 min | 25 min | 30 min | – |
| Palm Jumeirah | 30 min | – | – | – | – |
| Downtown Dubai | 35 min | – | – | 35 min | – |
The airport differs by a factor of two among the pages, and Expo City by five minutes. The Rumavi page attributes 45 minutes to Dubai International Airport and 15 minutes to Expo City, and says these are “Emaar’s own figures”; Emaar’s project page does not print them, so they are not used. The shorter figures describe trips inside the airport district and the longer ones trips to the coast, and each page gives only a round number.
For services, Primo Capital lists a nursery in Dubai Investments Park at 15 minutes and no other social facility. Emaar prints no school, clinic or shop for the project. Emaar’s community page lists 53,000 m² of retail and dining space as part of the plan for the whole community, and a buyer should ask which parts are open on the handover date, not which are planned.
The rules below are quoted from official Dubai and UAE sources read on 15 November 2026, and each row names its source. They describe the general framework for an off-plan purchase and are not a finding about a particular contract.

Emaar’s page for the project prints none of the registration details, so the questions at the end of this guide ask for them in writing. A longer walk-through is in the off-plan buyer’s guide and in the guide to the Dubai real estate laws for foreigners.
| Topic | What the official source says | Official source |
|---|---|---|
| Freehold for non-UAE nationals | Law No. (7) of 2006, Article 4: non-UAE nationals may, in areas determined by the Ruler, hold freehold ownership without time restriction. Regulation No. (3) of 2006, Article 3, lists the designated land plots. The UAE portal says foreign ownership in Dubai is permitted in areas designated as freehold, with no age limit. | Law No. 7 of 2006; Regulation No. 3 of 2006; u.ae |
| Developer consent to resale | Resale of an off-plan unit before transfer needs a no-objection certificate from the developer; for a sale in freehold areas the DLD sale-registration service lists an e-NOC from the developer as a required document. | DLD FAQ; DLD service |
| Registration fee | A DLD notice of 31 May 2021 gives the buyer’s registration fee as 4 percent of the property’s value, paid to the developer, who registers the sale; it can be paid by bank cheque, through the Noqodi developer wallet, or into the project escrow account. The DLD page for registering a sale lists 2 percent from the seller and 2 percent from the buyer, plus fixed fees. | DLD notice; DLD service |
| Initial (off-plan) registration | The DLD FAQ defines initial registration as registering real estate sales contracts and other legal actions off-plan before they are transferred to the real estate registry. Portals call this Oqood registration, and the DLD FAQ names OQOOD as the self-registration system for project steps. | DLD FAQ |
| Escrow account | Law No. (8) of 2007: a developer selling off-plan opens an escrow account in the name of the project (Articles 6 and 7), dedicated exclusively to its construction, not subject to attachment by the developer’s creditors, and separate for each project (Article 9). | Law No. 8 of 2007 |
| Retention after completion | Article 14 of the same law: the escrow agent retains 5 percent of the account’s total value once the completion certificate is obtained and releases it one year after the units are registered in the purchasers’ names. | Law No. 8 of 2007 |
| Project registration service | DLD describes a service for developers to register a real estate project and open an escrow account for off-plan sales. | DLD service |
| Checking a project | The DLD project status enquiry searches by project name or number, and the page lists the developer details and the escrow bank name; it points to the Dubai REST app for project status. | DLD project status |
| Payments tied to construction | The DLD FAQ says that where the payment schedule is based on completion rates, the buyer may ask for the current completion percentage, in a letter from the DLD-approved project consultant, and is not obliged to pay unless the stage in the schedule is confirmed as reached. | DLD FAQ |
| Service charges | Service and usage charges are approved by the Real Estate Regulatory Agency after audit; management companies should not claim charges before approval; payments go through the Mollak system. | DLD FAQ |
| Power of attorney | A power of attorney issued outside the UAE must be ratified through the notary, the foreign ministry of the country of origin, the UAE embassy and the UAE foreign ministry; for purchases it is valid for five years from notarisation. | DLD FAQ |
Three points deserve a plain reading. First, Emaar’s own page does not say that Golf Fields is a freehold area. Portals do say so, and Rumavi cites a regulation number for the whole of Dubai, not for a plot. The plot is not printed, so the designation of the land is a point to confirm with the seller, which is what the freehold guide at freehold versus leasehold in Dubai explains in general terms.
Second, the registration fee reads differently on two DLD pages. The 2021 notice speaks of 4 percent paid by the buyer to the developer for registration; the e-service for registering a sale lists 2 percent from each side. The pages describe different transactions and dates, and this guide does not merge them. For an off-plan purchase the contract states who pays what, which is why the fee line is in the written questions below.
Third, the escrow law protects payments only if payments go where the law says. DLD pages say buyers pay into the project escrow account, so the account name and bank on the reservation form should match the project’s entry on the DLD project status service.
Emaar’s project page prints neither a project number nor an escrow bank for Golf Fields, and no DLD project number for it was found in the sources read. The guide to foreign buyers of apartments in Dubai and the mortgage guide for foreigners cover the buyer and finance side.
The arithmetic below for Golf Fields Emaar South Dubai uses the portal starting figures, which are not contract prices, and the 4 percent registration rate in the 2021 DLD notice. The aim is to show orders of magnitude, so a reader can see how a fee line scales with a price. The USD figures are calculated at the pegged rate of 3.6725 per US dollar, which the Central Bank of the UAE shows in its monthly rate table of 1 June 2026.

| Golf Fields: starting figure | AED price (portal start) | 4% of price, AED | About USD at 3.6725 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 bedroom apartment | 1,260,000 | 50,400 | 13,724 |
| 2 bedroom apartment | 1,870,000 | 74,800 | 20,368 |
| 3 bedroom apartment | 2,720,000 | 108,800 | 29,625 |
| 3 bedroom townhouse | 5,020,000 | 200,800 | 54,676 |
The fixed fees on the DLD sale-registration page are small beside the percentage fee: AED 250 for the title deed, AED 10 for the knowledge fee and AED 10 for the innovation fee, plus a service-partner fee of AED 4,000 plus VAT for a sale value of AED 500,000 or more.
That page is the service for registering a sale, and whether the same items apply at the handover of an off-plan unit is for the contract and the registration trustee to state. The property tax guide covers recurring costs in general.
The DLD Golden Visa page for property owners sets the rule at a property purchase value equal to or more than AED 2 million at the time of purchase, for a 10-year renewable residence permit, with a bank letter proving AED 2 million paid where the property is mortgaged.
The UAE portal, updated 28 July 2026, lists a minimum capital of AED 2 million for the investor category and a five-year duration for real-estate investors. The two official pages state different durations, and both are shown. The guide What is the Dubai Golden Visa explains the route.
| Starting figure (portal) | AED | Difference from AED 2,000,000 | Reading of the arithmetic |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 bedroom apartment | 1,260,000 | 740,000 below | Below the DLD figure |
| 2 bedroom apartment | 1,870,000 | 130,000 below | Below the DLD figure |
| 3 bedroom apartment | 2,720,000 | 720,000 above | Above the DLD figure |
| 3 bedroom townhouse | 5,020,000 | 3,020,000 above | Above the DLD figure |
This table compares a portal starting figure with a threshold. It is not a statement that any unit gives a right to a visa. The rule refers to the purchase value in the contract and to conditions the authority checks, including the title deed and, for mortgaged property, the bank letter. Eligibility for a particular unit is decided by the authority, and a buyer should confirm it there before relying on it.
The paragraphs below use only Emaar’s own pages, read on 15 November 2026, and attribute each figure. According to Emaar’s investor relations FAQ, Emaar Properties was incorporated in 1997 and listed on the Dubai Financial Market on 26 March 2000. The investor relations page describes a global property developer with a presence in the Middle East, North Africa and Asia, whose principal activities include development and development management, shopping malls and retail, entertainment, hospitality, property management and utility services.

Emaar’s About page names Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall and Dubai Fountain among its destinations, and gives 130,900 residential units delivered in Dubai and key international markets since 2002, citing a corporate disclosure of September 2026. The brochure for Golf Trails, another Emaar South project, prints a different figure of more than 200,000 delivered units as of 31 December 2025; the two are different dates and definitions, and both are attributed here.
The land bank is also printed in three ways on Emaar pages: about 590 million sq ft on the About page, about 604 million sq ft on the investor relations page and about 1.7 billion sq ft in a press release. The emaar.com menu lists ten communities in the UAE, with Emaar South among the five it calls flagship. None of these figures says anything about Golf Fields itself.
Because Emaar’s page for Golf Fields Emaar South Dubai leaves the contract terms out, the items below are the ones a buyer can ask to see before a reservation form is signed or a first payment is made. They follow the normal process described in the official sources above.
The list can be sent as an email to the seller and the answers kept with the contract. A single answer such as “per the SPA” is a reason to ask to read the relevant clause. Portal pages, including those cited here, are not a substitute for the contract or for the DLD project entry.
Emaar South holds many releases, and the community page lists 30 collections. Four other releases from the same Just launched group are written up in separate guides on this site, each from its own sources. The table gives the Emaar community page figures on 15 November 2026 for those, with the unit lines that page showed that day, and does not rank the projects.
| Golf Fields compared with | Community or area | What the source prints | Guide |
|---|---|---|---|
| Golf Trails | Emaar South | From AED 1,906,888; 2 to 3 bedrooms; 16 units remaining on 15 Nov 2026 | Golf Trails Emaar South Dubai |
| Golf Vale | Emaar South | From AED 1,987,888; 2 to 3 bedrooms; 10 units remaining on 15 Nov 2026 | Golf Vale Emaar South Dubai |
| Vista Ridge | Emaar South | From AED 2,614,888; 2 to 3 bedrooms; 10 units remaining on 15 Nov 2026 | Vista Ridge Emaar South Dubai |
| Grove Ridge | Emaar South | From AED 2,626,888; 2 to 3 bedrooms; 16 units remaining on 15 Nov 2026 | Grove Ridge Emaar South Dubai |
| Terra Woods | Expo Living | Per that listing: 1 to 3 bedroom apartments and townhouses, from AED 1,599,888 on Emaar’s page | Terra Woods at Expo Living |
| Valia | Dubai Creek Harbour | Per that listing: 1 to 4 bedroom apartments, from AED 1.96 million (Emaar) | Valia at Dubai Creek Harbour |
| Alana | The Valley | Per that listing: 3 to 5 bedroom twin villas, from AED 3.5 million | Alana at The Valley |
Among the first five cards on the Emaar South community page on 15 November 2026, Golf Fields is the only one without a “units remaining” line, and it is labelled “Open to explore” where the other four read “Available now”. That is a statement about how Emaar displayed the pages on that day. It says nothing about the project’s timing or merits.
Other developers have listings on this site in the same part of Dubai. Azizi Venice Dubai is a lagoon-based community in Dubai South, DAMAC Riverside Dubai covers townhouses in Dubai Investments Park, and DAMAC Golf Gate 2 Dubai covers apartments in DAMAC Hills.
Each guide reads its own developer and portal pages, and the prices are not comparable without the same unit type, finish and date. The Emaar Properties developer profile, the directory of Dubai developers, the UAE listings and the Dubai listings lead to the wider set, and the Dubai real estate market guide gives the market backdrop.
Golf Fields Emaar South Dubai is the name this guide uses for Emaar’s collection called Golf Fields at Emaar South: 1 to 3 bedroom apartments and 3 bedroom townhouses in Emaar South, Dubai South. Emaar’s floor-plan PDF lists 181 unit numbers in one podium-and-tower building plus seven townhouses. Emaar marks the project “Just launched” on its Latest Launches page, which was read on 15 November 2026.
Emaar prints a starting price of AED 1,260,000, about USD 343,091 at the pegged rate of 3.6725, on the project page, and “From AED 1,260,000” for 1 to 3 bedrooms on the community page. It prints no price by unit. Portals print starting figures per type, from AED 1,260,000 for a one-bedroom to about AED 5,020,000 for a townhouse, and these are listing-site indications, not Emaar prices.
Emaar’s project page prints no handover date. Portals print February 2030, Q1 2030, September 2030 and Q4 2030, and one register-derived date of 28 February 2030. The sources differ and none is picked here. The date that binds a buyer is the one written in the sale and purchase agreement, so it is the second item in the list of written questions.
Emaar does not print a total on its pages. Counting the unit numbers in its floor-plan PDF gives 181: 93 one-bedroom apartments, 59 two-bedroom apartments, 22 three-bedroom apartments and 7 three-bedroom townhouses. Rumavi and opr.ae print the same total of 181, and Rumavi prints the same split by type.
Dubai law allows non-UAE nationals to hold freehold ownership in areas the Ruler designates, under Law No. 7 of 2006 and Regulation No. 3 of 2006. Portals describe Golf Fields as freehold and open to all nationalities; Emaar’s page does not state the tenure and prints no plot number. A buyer should ask for the plot and its designation in writing before reserving.
A DLD notice of 31 May 2021 gives the buyer’s registration fee as 4 percent of the property’s value, paid to the developer for registration. On AED 1,260,000 that is AED 50,400, or about USD 13,724. The DLD sale-registration page also lists fixed fees and a service-partner fee. Which fees apply to an off-plan contract, and who pays them, is a point to settle in the agreement.
Emaar prints no payment plan for the project. Portals print 10 percent on booking, 70 percent during construction and 20 percent at handover, and two of them print a dated schedule with eight 10 percent payments from signing to July 2029 before the final 20 percent. The schedule is a portal copy dated June 2026, so the contract schedule is what applies to a buyer.
This guide does not claim visa eligibility for any unit. The DLD page sets a property value of AED 2 million or more at the time of purchase, and the UAE portal lists a minimum of AED 2 million for the investor category. Whether a specific contract meets the conditions is decided by the authority, so the answer should be obtained there before a buyer relies on it.
The DLD project status enquiry, also available in the Dubai REST app, searches by project name or number and lists developer details and the escrow bank. Emaar prints no project number or escrow account on the Golf Fields page, so the buyer should ask for both in writing and compare them with the DLD entry before paying anything.
Emaar describes the community as near Al Maktoum International Airport and prints no drive times. Portals give 5 to 10 minutes to the airport, 10 to 15 minutes to Expo City, 25 to 30 minutes to Dubai Marina and 35 minutes to Downtown Dubai. The figures are round numbers without a stated route or time of day, so a buyer should test the route.
