Now here’s one for the bucket list, or rather the Meta Quest headset! In a fresh partnership that’s sure to turn a few heads, GOLF+ has teamed up with the DP World Tour and Dubai Golf to bring the legendary Earth Course at Jumeirah Golf Estates into virtual reality. That’s right—golf fans can now “play” this iconic Dubai course without leaving their couch. No jetlag, no sunscreen, just you, your headset, and one heck of a VR experience.
This isn’t just any virtual golf course, either. The Earth Course has been recreated with so much detail that you might catch yourself dodging imaginary sand traps and squinting at the virtual Dubai skyline. This is the real deal—digitally speaking—and it lets you step right into the shoes of the pros playing the DP World Tour Championship, the big finale event of the season. Every twist, turn, and tricky shot of the Earth Course has been packed into GOLF+, so you can virtually stroll the same fairways and greens as the world’s top players.
This partnership is a major step forward in making golf more accessible to fans everywhere. The DP World Tour and Dubai Golf have their eyes on the future, using tech to bring their game to more people than ever. GOLF+ is already the go-to VR golf game on Meta Quest, and with the Earth Course joining its lineup, it’s fast becoming a VR golfer’s dream come true.
“We are thrilled to partner with the DP World Tour and bring the Jumeirah Golf Estates Earth Course to our growing platform,” says Ryan Engle, CEO and Co-founder of GOLF+. “Our mission has always been to make golf more accessible, and this partnership reflects our commitment to delivering unique golf experiences from all corners of the globe.” It’s that commitment that keeps GOLF+ players coming back, whether they’re VR rookies or virtual golf veterans.
Richard Bunn, Chief Revenue and Content Officer at the DP World Tour, couldn’t agree more: “This collaboration is a fantastic opportunity to engage both seasoned golfers and newcomers to the game, allowing them to experience one of our Tour’s most iconic venues like never before.” And Christopher May, CEO of Dubai Golf, added, “Golfers around the world can now experience the Earth Course as if they were playing it in person. I’m eager to see how this innovative approach will help grow the sport and engage new fans.”
Starting November 6, you can try out the Jumeirah Golf Estates Earth Course on GOLF+. Just fire up the Meta Quest, and you’re good to go. Whethe
