As Jumeirah Golf Estates cements its position as Dubai’s premium residential golf community, more than 700 residents have moved into their homes in time to watch this year’s DP World Tour Championship 2014, which kicked off today (November 20).

Progress comes as Jumeirah Golf Estates continues to develop a world-class set of community facilities, including its brand new clubhouse, which was officially inaugurated this week by Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, the president of Dubai Civil Aviation and chairman and chief executive of Emirates airline and group.

Yousuf Kazim, the general manager of Jumeirah Golf Estates, said: "This year has been marked by a series of significant milestones for Jumeirah Golf Estates and to have more than 700 of our residents enjoying their homes and the new clubhouse on the sidelines of this global tournament is just fantastic."

"As we look forward to welcoming more homeowners throughout the remainder of 2014 and beyond, we are making major developments in the completion of our communities," he noted.

According to Kazim, about 95 per cent of Whispering Pines properties has now been handed over. "Flame Tree Ridge is set for completion in the first quarter next year and residents continue to set up in Sienna Lakes and Lime Tree Valley among our other communities,” he added.

For Neal Graham, the general manager of club operations at Jumeirah Golf Estates, the enhancement of facilities has been key to interest in the communities.

“With the opening of the clubhouse, our residents have access to an incredible facility, and alongside our European Tour Performance Institute and two championship golf courses, we are promising golfers and members a valuable, world-class proposition. On the back of this superior offering, our membership packages have now reached capacity, with spaces now only held for residents of Jumeirah Golf Estates until further notice," he added.
