Swing, slap, and follow through because the Kingdom’s newest golfing destination has just opened.
If you are looking to enjoy the newly lowered temperatures with some open-air fun surrounded by picturesque views, Saudi Arabia has just welcomed its first-ever island dedicated to golfing.
The 18-hole Shura Links Red Sea also boasts environmental sustainability with exclusive luxury.
Run by Golf Saudi, this stunning Par-72 course stretches 7,400 yards through scenic mangroves and golden dunes before opening up to breathtaking Red Sea views.
Designed with a classic links-style feel, it offers an authentic golfing experience while carefully protecting the surrounding environment in line with RSG’s sustainability goals.
Shura Links Red Sea 2025
Meet Shura Links, Saudi Arabia’s first 18-hole island golf course, and it’s set to impress. Picture fairways that hug the water, stunning marina views, and a dramatic finish right below the clubhouse. Each round feels fresh and full of surprises, offering a world-class golfing experience surrounded by the beauty of the Red Sea.
What makes it truly special is its eco-conscious design. Only part of the course is traditional turf, with the rest blending seamlessly into natural dunes. Using smart water recycling and seaweed-fed greens, Shura Links combines luxury play with sustainability. Set on Shura Island, the centerpiece of RSG’s west coast project, it runs on renewable energy and showcases Vision 2030’s commitment to greener, smarter tourism.

The star of Shura Links Red Sea is its stunning beachfront clubhouse, the go-to spot for both golfers and visitors. Inspired by the island’s natural beauty, it offers sweeping views of the 18th green and a relaxed, social vibe. You can enjoy elevated dining on the terrace or by the pool, browse the retail spaces, or simply unwind while taking in the coastal scenery.
But the experience goes far beyond the course itself. Shura Links is packed with top-notch amenities, including a fun adventure putting course for families, a spacious practice range, a dedicated short game area, and a pro shop stocked with leading brands and exclusive merchandise. It’s designed to be a full-day experience, whether you’re there to play, practice, or explore.
The course also offers flexible green fee options for 9 or 18 holes, plus professional coaching sessions for individuals, families, and groups with a PGA-certified instructor. And when you practice, you’ll be using the same premium Callaway balls seen on pro tours, making every swing feel like a championship moment.
