The Earth Course is one of Jumeriah Golf Estates’ two championship golf courses designed by the “The Shark” Greg Norman in Dubai.
The bigger brother of the two 18 holes at Jumeirah Golf Estates, measures over 7,600 yards from the tips, and the Earth Course greets you with 18 holes of its gorgeous green fairways, tree bark flanked rough and piercing white bunkers.
18th hole on the Earth Course at Jumeirah Golf Estates
Each hole on the Earth Course was designed by The Shark to blend into the surrounding landscape, with the world-recognised 18th hole fairway split up its entire length by the creek built to (and successfully) gather many a golf ball into a watery grave.
Since 2009, the Earth Course has played host venue to the DP World Tour’s season-ending DP World Tour Championship, Dubai, where each year the event welcomes the Race to Dubai’s top 50 golfers to battle it out for the DP World Tour Championship title and the crowning of the Harry Vardon Trophy.
