Saudi Arabia has just opened its first-ever island golf course, and it’s truly something special. Shura Links is located on Shura Island in the Red Sea development. It’s a huge milestone for the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 goal of becoming a global hub for tourism and sports.
The course offers a one-of-a-kind experience, winding through native mangroves, rolling dunes, and stretching right along the Red Sea shoreline. Designed with minimal environmental impact, it’s a perfect example of regenerative tourism and blends seamlessly into the natural beauty of the island.
Shura Island is almost ready to welcome first visitors. Phase one features The Red Sea EDITION hotel and Four Seasons and SLS residences, with more world-class resorts opening in the months ahead. It will quickly turn into must-visit destination for luxury travel thanks to its resorts, top-tier leisure, and stunning golf course.
Shura Links includes a beachfront clubhouse with panoramic views, dining spaces, and a family-friendly putting course for those looking to have some fun off the greens. There’s also a retail boutique, and golfers can practice with premium Callaway balls to make their rounds even more enjoyable.
For those looking for a truly one-of-a-kind travel golfing destination, Shura Links offers a fantastic way to experience the thrill of the game and Saudi Arabia’s hospitality.
For golf lovers, KSA may soon become a must-visit destination for a truly unique experience. There are several other incredible projects underway. Keep an eye out for the upcoming Trojena golf course, set at a high altitude, and an 18-hole course designed by Sir Nick Faldo in Qiddiya City. Stay tuned for more details on these developments!
