Al Hamra Golf Club Course Layout
The Al Hamra Golf Club course layout flows around four connected lagoons, which meet the Arabian Gulf. This creates a stunning view by the water. The course was built on large salt flats, and the designers used five million cubic meters of sand and soil to create gentle hills and valleys. It combines traditional golf elements with modern features. The fairways and greens are made of lush paspalum grass, ensuring excellent playing conditions all year long. The club is also proud to be the first golf facility in the region that is 100% plastic-free.
In addition to the main course, there’s a floodlit 9-hole par-3 academy course. There’s also a special 9-hole night golf option, which uses holes 1-7 and 17-18, so you can enjoy golfing in the evening under zero-pollution lighting.
Challenges at Al Hamra Golf Club
The challenges at Al Hamra Golf Club are due to the water hazards from lagoons, sand bunkers, and narrow fairways that require precision and smart planning. The course has a variety of holes, including long par-4s, reachable par-5s, and precise par-3s. This makes it a great place for beginners looking to have fun and for experienced players wanting to improve their game.

The 17th hole is a long par-4, which can be quite challenging because of its length and hazards. Finally, the 18th hole is a thrilling par-5 that has water running along the fairway. It leads to a green that is protected by three bunkers, making for an exciting finish to your game.
