5 nights at The Westin Dubai Mina Seyahi Beach Resort & Marina with 2 green fees (Jumeirah Golf Estates, Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club)

Known as the new Dubai, Jumeirah Golf Estates is a luxurious development set amidst two Greg Norman-designed golf courses. This community occupies some 1100 hectares of green space with luxurious homes, leisure facilities and the “Earth” and “Fire” courses rivalling the best golf destinations in the world. The Jumeirah complex is largely flat where the desert landscape has been transformed into a green oasis by a huge plantation of flora along the fairways. The “Earth” course, home of the Race to Dubai for more than a decade, where the best players of the year on the European Tour meet, was built in 2009 especially for this championship. Its slightly undulating fairways, water hazards, bunker placement and tree line provide a technical 18-hole course in a sumptuous setting. Play aggressively on the fairways and your scorecard will be bulging at the end of the round, but think strategically and you will find birdie opportunities. The 6507 metre course from the Champions Tee offers wide, but mostly undulating greens so your long putt shot will be put to the test. The final trio of holes are a spectacle, including the 17th hole surrounded by water, well worth the green fee. The “Fire” course, opened a year after its sister course “Earth”, offers a more varied, fun design and a greater number of holes that the amateur golfer can successfully complete. Its different tee positions offer multiple shot variations, although its large bunkers will be waiting for a hasty shot. Attacking the flag is not always the best option on this Par 72 course where the wind is present and if it is in your favour you can even dream of an “Eagle”. The Golf Club has a Club House, swimming pool with views of the Earth Course, a wide variety of recreational and aquatic activities as well as a wide gastronomic offer with culinary delights from all over the world. The golf academy is run by PGA-qualified instructors and the Pro-Shop is stocked with high quality items.

Situated on the banks of the river and being the green heart of the luxurious Park Hyatt and marina is the newly remodeled GEO-certified Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club. The 18-hole course runs over 6,270 meters with gently undulating fairways guarded by palm trees, coconut trees, bushes, the river and lakes creating a space similar to the tropical courses and adding beauty to the layout. Thanks to the different positions of the tee boxes ensure that all golfers of different levels enjoy the golf course, giving it a breathtaking view of the skyscrapers of Dubai and also the elegant yacht club. A special mention goes to the 6th hole where players must tee off on an elevated platform over the water, requiring long and precise shots to cross the lake and place the ball well.
