Al Hamra Golf Club
The first taste of an eighteen-hole "links" course in the Middle East along the shores and rolling waves of the Arabian Gulf. Designed by renowned Swiss Golf Course Architect, Peter Harradine, the golf course is shaped around a large open lagoon with four sub lagoons all inter-connected. The front nine, measuring 3,559 yards plays 'out' away from the clubhouse, whilst the back nine, measuring 3,708 yards returns back 'in' around the lagoon. The result is a 7,267 yard, par 72 championship golf course. Some 5 million cubic metres of sand and expert shaping has created an undulating golf course where levels rise and fall from plus one to plus eight metres above sea level. In keeping with tradition and style of links golf, the course features humps, hollows and pot bunkers unique to golf in this region.
