Reviews
Ernie's creation is tucked away in an unfortunate construction site named Dubai Sports City. Once located, the course is a memorable experience. The greens are some of the best - and certainly most challenging - in the country. Visitors should exercise discretion when selecting which tees to play off. From the Medal tees (approx 6,700 yards) the course is really punishing for all but the lowest handicaps. Long approach shots. extremely tough bunkering and abundant run-offs and swales can make for a frustrating experience. The course does test every aspect of your game - you have to be able to chip (well) and drive (far). If you can't - try something else.
