After playing at the CGX Emirates Golf Club, this course is quite a change as it is visually night and day with Dubai, and playing-wise too !
Even though it is well designed and plays smoothly, the layout is not really exciting : plenty of straightforward holes, and all four par-3 (5th, 7th, 12th and 15th holes) look the same (straightforward and slightly uphill greens) !
In fact, the most "exciting" holes are the ones where water is present, such as on the dogleg to the right par-4 3rd hole and, on my favorite hole, the very long (664 yards !) par-5 16th, where both greens have a small pond right in front of them.
Besides the 16th, the par-4 17th hole, with its narrow fairway and elevated green, and the dogleg to the left par-4 18th hole, are worth mentioning.
Despite its narrow fairways, which can give you trouble if you land in the high rough with your tee shots, this course did not appeal to me and I am not even talking about the water which, playing with the TW07 edition, turned out green...

This is a very good course - mostly straight away fairways with trees lining the fairways. Greens are very good. Looks benign - so shot 73,75,70 and 73. This course has my number. I really like this course - I guess I will have to learn to stay out of the rough and not get behind those trees. 3 putted a few holes as well. Nothing unfair about this course. My timing was bad. Excellent course and I will be back! Looks good and plays great.Thanks for sharing.

Excellent course, enjoyed my round, ty.
