Jumeirah Estates has contributed significantly to Dubai's reputation as a world-class golf destination. The top golf course in the emirate offers four 18-hole courses. The Earth Course is the flagship of the quartet. Opened in 2009 in parkland style, the course is a true masterpiece with its undulating fairways, treacherous bunkers and strategically placed water hazards. The Earth Course regularly hosts Tour tournaments. The red sand in the bunkers gave the Fire Course its name. Almost two hundred meters shorter than the legendary Earth Course, Fire is in no way inferior to its famous brother when it comes to golfing fun. If you don't want to make too much contact with the red sand on the course designed by Greg Norman, you should play precisely. The sometimes deep bunkers have ruined many a score.
