Fire and Earth at Jumeirah Golf Estates

"Harnessing the stark beauty of the desert, Fire has been designed to reward focus and precision while offering players a variety of strategic play options." - Greg Norman, Fire Course Designer.

Fire has been designed to exist in harmony with the surrounding landscape and will be planted with a wide variety of dramatic flora that has been carefully selected to reflect the overall theme and to enhance the natural environment.

Throughout the Fire Course, tees have been carefully placed to provide variety of length, direction and elevation, while the landscape's natural features and topography are employed to provide even more challenging play.

Generous landing areas entice shots towards safety, but strong bunkering has been carefully placed to catch wayward strokes and force the player to concentrate fully on placement of the drive. The undulating greens, too, will stress ball placement - going directly at the flag may not always be the best approach - and will bring a strong elements of traditional links-style play to the Fire Course.

"Earth's dramatic natural elevations - a first for any Dubai course - and a myriad of trees will demand a well thought out approach from the tee." - Greg Norman, Earth Course Designer

Inspired by the great parkland courses of Europe and North America, Earth with greatly enhance the already stunning landscape. Indigenous flora and fauna will be promoted to underpin the natural environmental balance, while the course will incorporate lush, garden-like vegetation and traditional, swift-flowing water features to create an oasis of natural beauty.

These natural features will also serve to provide differing angles and changing perspectives from each tee. Trees and bunkers will guide the player along the course's length, while at the same time protecting the ideal line. The meandering - and yet occasionally daunting - water features will be an ever-present factor when lining up the next shot, forcing a careful drive and constant consideration of ball carry.
