Jumeirah Golf Estates overview
Courses: Earth & Fire | Location: Dubai | Opened: 2009
Set within one of Dubai’s most exclusive residential and golfing communities, Jumeirah Golf Estates is a world-class destination that perfectly blends championship golf, luxury, and service. Home to the season-ending DP World Tour Championship, this iconic venue offers two contrasting Greg Norman–designed layouts – Earth and Fire – both delivering unforgettable rounds amidst beautifully sculpted desert landscapes.
From immaculate fairways and tournament-ready conditioning to exceptional hospitality and facilities, Jumeirah represents the very best of Dubai golf. Whether you’re chasing a bucket-list experience or a relaxed resort round in the sunshine, it’s a must-play for any golf traveller.
Golf Courses
Both ranked in the top 20 Golf Courses in the Middle East by Top 100 Golf Courses, the Jumeirah Estate is home to two incredible courses:
Earth Course: Length: ~ 7,706 yards | Par: 72 | Designer: Greg Norman The headline act at Jumeirah Golf Estates and host of the DP World Tour Championship, the Earth Course is a modern masterpiece inspired by classic parkland designs of Europe and North America.
It features rolling fairways, mature trees, strategic bunkering, and dramatic water hazards, all immaculately maintained. Each hole is distinct, rewarding thoughtful strategy and precision from tee to green. The closing stretch, in particular, is among the most dramatic in the Middle East, offering a thrilling finish for any golfer.
Fire Course: Length: ~7,480 yards | Par: 72 | Designer: Greg Norman Often overshadowed by its famous sibling, the Fire Course offers an equally engaging but very different test. Framed by native desert flora and featuring bold bunkering, fiery-toned fairways, and undulating terrain, Fire demands accuracy and smart course management.
Its natural, rugged beauty and strategic layout make it a favourite among returning golfers seeking variety and challenge.
Clubhouse & amenities
The clubhouse exudes sophistication and comfort. Overlooking both courses, it provides everything golfers need for a five-star day out, including:
- A well-stocked pro shop offering premium equipment and apparel
- Extensive practice facilities, including a world-class driving range and short game areas
- The renowned Pete Cowen Golf Academy, ideal for lessons and game improvement
- A stylish restaurant and bar with panoramic course view, the perfect spot to relax post-round and enjoy freshly prepared local and international cuisine
