Jumeirah Golf Estates Earth Course

The lack of buggies in the heat made it very challenges. Not sure why buggies could not have been used on the paths as other courses do as there were ample paths around the course. The greens played very slowly as they were growing them for the DP World event. It was still a great experience, however i would never recommend anyone play here in proximity to the tour event

I’ve used Paul Gartland for my golf travel advice for a few years now and every time he recommends something special and the Earth course is no exception. Earth is an incredible course, well looked after and about 35-40 minutes from the palm and Jumeriah Beach. The course was in incredible condition and with its 99 bunkers it’s a really good challenge from any tee. We played off the competitions tee which was a mixture of Greens and Blues which made the course about 6,600 yards. Highly suggest to avoid the bunkers as some faces are over 8ft which makes it super challenging to get up and down around the greens. Another note is spectators can come around the course on the buggies for a small cost of 120 dirhams.

Great course, tricky conditions as never seem to be level footed and some very deep bunkera, recommend

This course is as expected a stunning course, driving range and putting greens were immaculate. Ice lollies every 4 holes fresh cold water every single hole too. You had to take a moment on every tee box just to admire what you were looking at. Earth course made our trip. Amazing

The bunkers are massive and so deep, and plentiful. Really need to have played a few times.

Bunkers bunkers everywhere!!! A good challenge

Very enjoyable apart from Asian groups in front were very slow. Ranger continuously asked them to speed up.

What an experience, top class golf and facilities, just like being on the television

The best course of the three we played. Challenging but great fun.

Tough course, DP Tour doesn’t finish there for nothing. Last two holes signature, rest really tough but not something you remember much.

À monster for mid/high handicappers, but enjoyable challenge. Wonderful service and excellent facilities.

The greens were not in good condition and we followed a 2 ball on the clock as they were warned by the course Marshall. It took nearly 3 hours to complete 9 holes then the 2 ball was asked to leave. Disappointing end to the week.

Fantastic golf course. Layout was superb. Tough golf course, glad we didn't venture off the tips!! Really glad we played the Earth.

There was a fair amount of work being carried out (December 8th 2024) around the course as they make improvements, however it did not take anything away from the day. It was a shotgun start on the day we played - we started on the 14th hole, many of the signature holes came early in our round - again not a problem other than having to get out to the 14th to start at 8am. Given it was a shotgun start, all players were on the practice facilities before the round, so slightly more manic that the usual practice routine.

One of my best golfing experiences. Was quite noisy as they were putting facilities in place ready for the race to Dubai in a few weeks but didn’t effect a great day

The course was recovering but it was definitely my favorite out of the 4 I played. I can see it being getable for the pros.

Having been to watch the DP Worlds, this was the course I wanted to play most, and it didn't disappoint. Greens had a dusting of sand but didn't hamper, the Bunkers were challenging and in great condition...

Brilliant brilliant got course and experience we will be back again to play the earth course again and also try to play the fire. Just fabulous

Again, unbelievable really good

due to storms, no bunkers were in use which greatly impacted our enjoyment as bunkers are such a huge part of the challenge of this course. Should they be charging full rate when the course is so restricted??

World class !!!

Great course but the greens were a little worn in a couple of places but that didn't effect the overall picture

A fantastic course in great condition, the staff are welcoming. A genuinely great, iconic championship course and so happy to have played it.

Lovely experience would love to play it again

Unfortunately we had to walk in 36 degree temperatures as buggies not allowed. DP World Tour Championships in a couple of weeks!

Walked the Earth course on several occasions watching the race to Dubai,and always wanted to play it. I have to say I wasn't disappointed. This is up there with the best courses I have played. From the welcome at the reception to the golf course itself.The course was in excellent condition,with the greens being huge but fair. If your travelling to Dubai this course is a must play.

Well set up for touring golfers with the greens not too punishing! Bunkers everywhere and amazing facilities to compliment a great course.

If you like bunkers it’s great as they are plentiful and placed to catch nearly every shot as each green is protected by bunkers and the fairways too!

5 hour plus round. Waiting on every hole. Lost will to live which took away the enjoyment of playing the course.

Got lost a few times trying to find 1st holes and 9th holes, due to a shotgun start format and poor signage.

Course was in fantastic condition, especially with DP world final just a few weeks away. The stands were being erected which made the round feel a little bit more special. I was on the range and my driver head snapped in the shaft adjustment tip, the staff at the pro shop gave me a replacement driver with no questions asked or anything, couldn’t of been more helpful 😀

Super

What a course ! 7,800 off the tips. Played a combo course of blue tips and greens. It is a big track so make sure the driver is working. Some superb holes and great going off the back tees. They were setting up for the Race to Dubai in a few weeks. No issues about playing, no restrictions as such. Stands were going up round 18. Nice staff and very welcoming.

We played the Earth Course which was fantastic. This is no easy course and you need to be on your game to have a decent score. That said its great fun and the club house facilities are amazing. A great place to play.

The speed of the greens are ridiculous, so quick! A couple of great par 3 holes

Another current tour course, but whilst in great condition, not to the level of Yas or Majlis. Having watched on TV and seen the size of the bunkers on this course, it really does not set you up for how imposing these are in real life. The majority of them with raised backs so that you can see them all when stood on the tee. Very imposing, but I did feel it got a bit repetitive and at times you had to study the planner to work out where the fairways actually were. That said there were some beautiful holes and against any other competition this course is very highly ranked. Hole 16 was my absolute favorite, with the island green 17th being less imposing than imagined. The 18th however is well known with the stream running up the middle of the hole. So pleased to have played this hole and whilst I held off going for the green in 2, I was pleased to walk away with par. Others were less lucky with one making the water three times, including a McIlroy roll back off the green into the stream below.

A tough test of golf. Spectacular layout in pristine condition

Simply amazing! The course was in great condition and although difficult for a mid handicapper, it wasn’t difficult enough to not enjoy the round and experience. The service and staff were both world class. A definite must to play!

Fabulous course with terrifying greens. Only problem was that they hadn't got my son down to play with me but they sorted it.

Earth course tee time 07.20, expected a reasonable quick round. Played with 2 members and we all agreed that pace of play was very slow.

Played after the DP Tour finale so course was set up for the pro’s and was in excellent condition. Managed to par the iconic 17th!

Great golf course in good condition. Difficult to play in windy conditions. Greens superb

Fabulous experience both on and off the course.

we had a great day would defo return

Stunning course - was a little burnt out in places but they are prepping for DP World Champs Would definitely be coming back to play here in future

The Earth course is a real challenge for even the advanced golfer. Plenty bunkers which are in pristine condition Myself and my 9 year old daughter played and we had a brilliant time on and off the course. The staff were superb and the experience and treatment to us was professional and awesome

Arrived to play all ,arrangements made by your golf travel ,time etc were spot on. Arrived and checked met by nice receptionist, our taxi had driven to the front door as the bag drop was not well signed. Having checked in we were left completely with no directions at all as to where to go. Going back the receptionist said she would arrange for the clubs to be picked up. After another 5 minutes we had to ask where the buggy and clubs where and directed outside of the club towards steps. On the steps no sign of a buggy but there was a line of buggies about 100 yards away and after asking more directions we were indicated our buggy was one in the far away line. No directions for range or putting green. We then found we were fixed up with a member and if we had not had him we had no idea of 1st tee etc. Once we got playing it was alright and found the course enjoyable.

Earth Course was disappointing. There is no comparison to Dubai Creek. Staff were not particularly helpful. Over priced for what you got.

Best of all .Quite an experience playing the same course as the final. Greens were still super fast but sadly pitch marked all over ..but we loved the challenge !!

Really enjoyed this course. There were 3 of us who played. We were teamed up with a member to make a 4 ball. They were helpful with tips around the course. We booked a 0810 tee but tee'd off at 0840. As the temp was 39* I would recommend as early a start as poss.
