Abstract/Contents: | Profiles the Els Club in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE), stating that "[Ernie] Els and his chief architect, American Greg Letsche, have made some bold choices in designing the course. Chief among these is the decision to embrace the natural landforms of the desert that surrounds the course." Describes various holes, including "the second hole, the first par three on the course, [which] features a cleverly-positioned bunker behind the green." Explains that "in Dubai, the wind changes direction during the day, so the course has been designed with this in mind." Mentions that "water features only on two holes, the seventh and fifteenth...the water is confined to a small part of the course - and, even more happily, produced two strong holes." |
