Dubai Golf, the owner and manager of three golf courses in the emirate, has been roped in by leading residential golf community developer Jumeirah Golf Estates (JGE) to manage the leisure facilities and dining outlets along with two of its championship golf courses - Fire and Earth.

As per the deal, Dubai Golf will now offer five championship courses for residents and overseas visitors to enjoy across its portfolio, which includes Emirates Golf Club and Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club, both of which celebrated significant anniversaries this year – 30 years and 25 years, respectively.

Jumeirah Golf Estates CEO Yousuf Kazim said: "We are all eagerly anticipating the opportunity to work with Dubai Golf who have a long-established history within the region. It is an exciting time for JGE as we look forward to welcoming a significant number of golf players to the Earth course in November for the DP World Tour Championship from November 15 to 18, as the Race to Dubai celebrates its 10th anniversary this year."

JGE, he stated, continues to be one of the world’s premier golfing destinations, and aims to set an unrivalled level of customer service to the members, residents and guests.

"By partnering with industry leaders such as Dubai Golf, we are able to enhance the experience of our clubhouse members and provide the highest quality and service to our residents and members," he noted.

Dubai Golf CEO Christopher May said: "We are proud to announce the addition of Jumeirah Golf Estates clubhouse and golf courses to the Dubai Golf management portfolio.  The prestigious club will sit alongside the magnificent Emirates Golf Club – which is home to the annual Omega Dubai Desert Classic – as well as the renowned Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club."

"We approach this exciting relationship with optimism and extreme enthusiasm, and will continue striving towards delivering the very best golf and leisure experiences for our members," stated May.

As part of the management deal, Dubai Golf aims to look at all aspects of the operation.

“Apart from a great opportunity for Dubai Golf, this is an extremely positive move for the members of all three clubs, as they will be exposed to a number of benefits across all three properties,” he added.

According to him, Dubai Golf has been at the forefront of golf and golf related services since its inception in the emirates.

"It currently owns and manages two prestigious golf clubs, with facilities that include three golf courses, a marina, 11 restaurants and other extensive leisure facilities," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
