Receiving worldwide critical acclaim from the international media, Katameya Heights development also includes 280 luxurious villas overlooking nearly 250 acres of green fairways surrounded by golden desert sand. Future plans include a hotel with conference facilities, the development of squash courts, which are expected to be operational by the end of 1999. OB aligns both sides of the fairways, which slopes to the right at the landing area. The large green is guarded to the front left and back right by bunkers. This short dogleg plays downwind and is one of the few birdie holes on the front nine.
Big hitters can try to drive to the green by cutting the corner over the palms on the left.
The undulating tiered green is guarded to the right by cavernous bunker and a steep hill. This straightforward par three rewards the conservative middle of the green tee shot. Second and third shots are straight uphill. The fairway is bordered by waste areas and narrows as it approaches the large green, bunkered to the front right. Rated the hardest hole on the course, length off the tee is a premium.
