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.

For the first time, golfing enthusiasts can enter the two-tournament Pro-Ams as individuals or teams of three, which will be held on Monday, 30 January and Wednesday, 1 February. 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. Tom Phillips, Head of DP World Tour Middle East, says, “We’re absolutely thrilled to be offering this exciting opportunity for fans to book their spot in the Ras Al Khaimah Championship Pro-Ams.
