Jumeirah Golf Estates, Dubai's premier golf-themed real estate development, has reached a further milestone with completion of construction of Fire, the second Greg Norman-designed Championship golf course. Fire joins Earth course in being fully constructed and will open in November this year when Earth hosts the inaugural Dubai World Championship.
David Spencer, Leisurecorp CEO-Golf, said, "This is a fantastic milestone for Jumeirah Golf Estates, which can now claim 2 Championship golf courses. Both courses are testament to Greg Norman's legendary talents and incredible eye for detail and both offer completely different looks and challenges.
With the grassing of Fire finished and more than 98 acres of hydro-seeding completed through the months of January and February, all that remains is for the final touches to be added to the landscaping. Progress on the residential real estate development at Jumeirah Golf Estates in Dubai continues at good pace. The first of the Tuscan style villas running through this district, which share stunning views over the Fire and Earth courses, have been completed, with many others due to be completed soon.
