Ras Al Khaimah Championship returns to the iconic Al Hamra Golf Club

For the second time, Al Hamra Golf Club will host the DP World Tour between Thursday, 2 and Sunday, 5 February, 2023. Formerly known as the European Tour, the continual development of the tournaments attracts the world’s best women, men, and players with disabilities to champion golf through award-winning social media and technologies. The tour is visiting Ras Al Khaimah for the second time. DP World, the leading provider of global smart end-to-end supply chain and logistics solutions, encourages engagement and champions sustainability in golf through its Green Drive Initiative.

Al Hamra Golf Club

Al Hamra Golf Club, an 18-hole championship course, has been impeccably planned and sculpted by internationally renowned golf course architect Peter Harradine. The course is diverse, with four open water lagoons, undulating desert landscapes and perfectly manicured greens on the shores of the Arabian Gulf. The Par 72 championship golf course measures 7,325 yards. The front nine holes measure 3,578 yards, and the back nine holes measure 3,747 yards. The beautifully landscaped course rises and falls around a series of lagoons and bunkers along the beachfront.

Managed by Troon, the Al Hamra golf course ranks as one of the finest in the region.

The first Pro-Am is an evening event under the state-of-the-art zero-pollution floodlights of Al Hamra Golf Course. Al Hamra Golf Club and DP World will welcome guests with gifts, on-course catering, unique prizes, a prize-giving dinner, and an overnight stay at the iconic golf-front Waldorf Astoria Ras Al Khaimah. The second Pro-Am offers the same benefits and invites guests to a spectacular welcome beach party.

Amateur golfers can tee up alongside some of the best players in the world, a rare and exciting experience for any keen golfer.
