Norman is certainly a premium brand in golf course development, with virtually every course in a high-end destination, so his courses' value ratings lag behind.

What are some of your favorite Norman courses to seek out when on the road? Let your fellow golfers know in the comments.

Where is the Earth Course?

Norman’s first Middle East design, the Earth Course is part of the prestigious Jumeirah Golf Estates, a huge residential golf complex in Dubai. Each year, the course hosts the season-ending DP World Tour Championship, the climax of the European Tour’s Race to Dubai. Norman called the last four holes, played alongside or over water culminating in a meandering creek running the full length of the final hole, “the most challenging mile in golf”. It’s a parkland-style course with rolling fairways and brilliant white bunkering, framed by a plethora of trees and shrubs, making the course a feast for the eyes.

Where is the best golf course in the Middle East?

Located between the Gulf of Oman and the Hajar Mountains in Muscat, Oman’ s capital , Al Mouj Golf is one of the best courses in the Middle East. It’s at the heart of the luxury leisure and residential complex Al Mouj Golf Resort, with the course beautifully positioned along a stunning stretch of coastline. Home of the European Tour’s Oman Open, it’s a testing, sometimes windy links layout with humps and bumps and large, deep bunkering, typical of Norman designs. As part of the Norman project, there’s also an enjoyable par-3 floodlit nine-hole course. The course is at its best alongside the ocean, with several spectacular holes. Al Mouj has helped put Oman on the global golfing map.

What is the TPC San Antonio?

TPC San Antonio is home to two championship courses, the Canyon Course designed by Pete Dye and Norman’s Oaks Course. Spanish star Sergio Garcia assisted Norman with the design of the course which plays host to the PGA Tour’s Valero Texas Open. It’s long at 7,435-yards and sheer-faced limestone walls facing some of the holes make it a unique challenge. The layout features large, rolling greens and tree-lined fairways which force angled approaches. Cavernous bunkers are strategically placed throughout and there’s devilish water hazards on several holes. It closes with a formidable test, a 591-yard par 5 that requires a carry past a creek to a green that is bordered by bunkers.
