Ben & Dubai Golf Holidays Analysis - Well what can I say about this this course. Ever since the course has hosted the end of season DP World Tour Championships Event every golfer on the planet has wanted to tee it up here. We watch Rory or Tommy breeze round in -5, but they really make it look easy as the course plays extremely tough. There isn't as much water on the course as you would think, but when you arrive on the 16th Hole there are water hazards to navigate on each of the 3 closing holes, with the famous island green par 3 17th hole and the undulating uphill par 5 18th holes proving very tricky.

Although the greens are vast in size they are extremely tricky given they have many humps, bumps and fall of areas, so hitting the green isn't always good enough as a 10 foot putt can leave you in 3 putt country.

Once played a few times golfers tend to be able to plot their way around and know where the right misses are to hopefully enable a half decent score.
