Jumeirah Golf Estates is one of the most famous places for golf in Dubai. This luxury golf community is surrounded by luxury homes amidst two courses designed by Greg Norman. Jumeirah Golf also hosts the DP World Tour Championship of the European Tour which is played on the Earth Course. This course was inspired by the famous parkland courses of Europe and North America.
