Sahara

Peter Harradine fashioned the golf course at the Sahara Kuwait Resort and it opened for play in September 2005 to a rapturous ovation. Built to USGA standards this is a challenging layout which stretches out to 6,730 yards with par set at a lowly 70.

There’s enough water – in the shape of three lakes – to trouble the mishit shot and with the horseracing track of the exclusive Hunting and Equestrian Club flanking the course, there’s plenty of out-of-bounds to contend with too.

A great deal of earth was moved here at the Sahara Golf Club – or sand to be precise – in fact almost 750,000 m³ was shifted to create a pleasing and undulating layout.

Floodlit holes will ensure that you can play in the cool of the evening, avoiding the daytime heat, and a luxurious new clubhouse and golf academy complete what is already Kuwait’s premier golf club and the country’s finest golfing experience.

World Top 100 Golf Courses

The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
