Dubai was pivotal in introducing golf to the Middle East by establishing the first grass golf course at the Emirates Golf Club in 1988. Since then, the sport's popularity in the region, especially in the city, has surged. This growth has led to the creation of golf communities like Jumeirah Golf Estates Dubai, where luxury and leisure are seamlessly combined.
Jumeirah Golf Estates is defined by its two 18-hole golf courses, named Fire and Earth and designed by champion Australian golfer Greg Norman. Each course features a distinctive aesthetic that reflects its name, with Earth using contrasts of green and brown while Fire incorporates bright golden colors. the playing experience on each is unique, with a different topographical layout to provide a distinctive challenge for players.
The Neighbourhoods
Jumeirah Golf Estates is divided in half, with the Fire Course on one side, the Earth Course on the other and a beautiful clubhouse sitting right at the center. The community comprises sixteen distinct neighbourhoods that are spread out around the courses such as Wildflower and Hillside villas. Check the list below:

Hillside and JGE, two of the newer neighborhoods in the community, feature a sleek contemporary aesthetic, and Al Andalus is inspired by the traditional architecture of the Spanish coastal region.
