Jumeirah Golf Estates
Dubai
Jumeirah Golf Estates is one of Dubai’s premier golf destinations, offering two contrasting 18-hole championship courses designed by Greg Norman. The Earth and Fire courses provide 36 holes of beautifully presented golf, making the club an excellent choice for groups planning several rounds during a UAE golf holiday.
The par-72 Earth Course stretches to 7,706 yards and takes inspiration from the great parkland courses of Europe and North America. Immaculate fairways, rolling terrain, brilliant white bunkers and large water hazards create a dramatic test where accurate positioning is just as important as distance. Its water-lined closing stretch is especially memorable, demanding confident shots and calm course management when a good score is on the line.
Earth is also home to the DP World Tour Championship, the season-ending finale of the Race to Dubai. Playing the same fairways used by leading Major champions and Ryder Cup players gives the round a real sense of occasion, particularly around the amphitheatre-style finishing holes.
The par-72 Fire Course measures 7,480 yards and offers a more natural desert-style experience. Golden native grasses, rolling ground and large terracotta bunkers blend into the surrounding landscape. Changes in elevation, direction and tee position create excellent variety, while golfers must regularly play towards the safest section of the green rather than simply aiming at the flag.
Practice facilities include a TrackMan Range and the Tommy Fleetwood Academy, where qualified PGA professionals offer coaching and advanced game analysis. After golf, players can choose from several clubhouse restaurants and bars before exploring Dubai’s beaches, shopping centres, desert experiences, restaurants and famous skyline.

About The Area
Al Zorah is a standout choice for a UAE golf holiday if your group wants winter sun, luxury resort surroundings and a quieter alternative to staying in central Dubai. Set in Ajman, around mangroves, lagoons and white-sand beaches, it gives golfers a more peaceful coastal feel while still keeping Dubai and Sharjah within easy reach.
For golf, the main draw is Al Zorah Golf & Yacht Club, an 18-hole championship course designed by Nicklaus Design and managed by Troon Golf. The course sits within protected mangroves, which gives it a very different look and feel from many desert golf courses in the UAE. Expect wide fairways, water, natural tidal areas and a layout that feels scenic rather than artificial. For groups wanting quality golf with a relaxed luxury feel, this is one of the UAE’s most interesting options.
Away from the course, Al Zorah works brilliantly for a slower, more premium golf break. We would recommend time at the beach, kayaking through the mangroves, a spa day, waterfront dining, or a trip into Ajman for souqs, museums and the Corniche. Al Zorah City also includes a championship golf course, beach resort, wellbeing resort, natural mangrove reserve and restaurants, so it suits couples and mixed groups as well as serious golfers.
Our tip: choose Al Zorah if your group wants a UAE golf holiday with sunshine, luxury, nature and easy access to Dubai without the full city pace.
