Designed by golf legend Greg Norman, the Fire Course will be the first of Norman's two Eco-Signature courses at Jumeirah Golf Estates – and his first Eco-Signature property in the world. Designed to exist in harmony with the natural desert landscape, Fire will no doubt prove a tough challenge for golfers of all abilities.

The Fire course's tees have been placed to provide variety, with length, direction and elevation constantly changing throughout the course. The use of existing natural features and topography will allow for a unique perspective from each tee, increasing both interest and challenge.

The second of Greg Norman's two Eco-Signature courses, the Earth Course, is inspired by the great parkland courses of Europe and North America. Incorporating lush, garden-like vegetation and traditional fast-flowing water features, Earth's design will enhance the already picturesque landscape and offer panoramic vistas of the entire course.

Earth will use bunker placement and a myriad of trees to guide players, while at the same time protecting the ideal line. Broad, rolling fairways will be broken on several holes by daunting water features, strategically positioned to capture shots that stray from the fairways and greens.

Vijay Singh is behind the design of the Water Course. This course will wind through naturally vegetated dune troughs, following ribbons of wetland. The dunes themselves will be vegetated with native salt-tolerant tall grasses and sedges, for a natural look, and oasis and pond areas will be fringed with palm trees. This approach is unique in Dubai, and will result in a challenging, traditional course that is dramatic in both appearance and feel.

A variety of teeing options allows for a wide range of course lengths, from 7,500 yards down to less than 5,000. Greens are open in the front but pin placements are closely guarded. The hazards, many of which are water hazards, have been strategically placed to challenge longer hitters, while allowing shorter hitters a little more space.

The Wind Course takes golf back to its most elemental roots, with a traditional course in which the power and energy of the wind plays a core role. This course is a world first combining the creative forces of golf greats Sergio Garcia, Greg Norman, and Pete Dye, a giant of golf design.

Wind is Sergio Garcia's first design project, the result of a partnership unique in the history of golf course design. Sergio's excitement and raw energy, Pete Dye's experience and wisdom and Greg Norman's power and skill converge to ensure that Wind will be among the world's most challenging and satisfying courses.
