Played two of them this week. Not really a GCA expert so won't put much commentary. What I generally think is that the Majlis Course (Dubai golf club) is a very good course indeed. While the newly designed Jumeirah Earth is a strange something - at least I don't see any strategy there - a bunker here, a bunker there and bunkers everywhere - could be its motto.
So here are the pics.
Jumeirah Earth
From the 1st tee a player is blessed with a lot of choices - to go into the bunker or to go into the bunker:

This is what happens if he or she somehow misses the sand:

Do you see any difference between the left side of the fairway, the right side of the fairway and the center? I don't - you'll face a bunker on your second shot:

Again from wherever you are you'll have to carry a bunker if you want to get to the putting surface:

The Majlis Course is WAAY nicer IMHO. See for yourself.
