DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Donald Trump plans to extend his golfing empire to the Middle East, opening a course in the desert outskirts of Dubai.

The Trump International Golf Club will be the centerpiece of a 28 million foot project being developed by DAMAC Properties that includes a luxury residential community, hotels, spa and international schools.

It is being developed on land purchased from Dubailand, a much-hyped project that included a $1 billion Tiger Woods golfing estate. The Woods project was suspended due to the economic downturn.

The Trump Organization has 14 courses under its ownership and management across the world, but this will be its first venture into Asia. It did not say who would design the 7,205-yard, par-71 course.

Rave: Golf

I'd rather play golf than do anything else in the world (except sex).

Too close to lunch to post pictures of politician golfers

Amazing scenery? There is nothing more unnatural looking and vile than a golf course. I see 90 million gallons of toxic cancer causing chemicals and three eyed fish in the ponds when I look at a golf course.

You like fishing, your argument is invalid.

But you can drink beer, fish, and spend a day in truly amazing scenery.

Because a baseball stadium is made from all-natural materials and the field is left to grow on its own.

I dunno. There's some pretty awesome views of the river and bluffs on a course I go to. Only better scenery is by getting on a boat out on the river, imo.

In rivers/lakes that have like 90 million gallons of toxic chemicals in them.
