October to April is the best time for a golf holiday in Saudi Arabia, with cooler temperatures making conditions much more comfortable for a full day on the course. The winter months are particularly good for golf in Riyadh, while the Red Sea coast remains warm and sunny.
Riyadh is currently the strongest base for a dedicated golf trip, with several established courses and an increasing number of new golf developments. The Red Sea coast is another exciting option, combining championship golf with luxury resorts, while King Abdullah Economic City offers access to Royal Greens Golf & Country Club.
Saudi Arabia offers an increasingly varied collection of modern golf courses, from desert-framed championship layouts around Riyadh to spectacular coastal courses overlooking the Red Sea. Expect immaculate conditioning, excellent practice facilities and contemporary clubhouses, with new courses continuing to expand the country's golf offering.
Yes. Saudi Arabia has golf options for a wide range of abilities, with courses such as Riyadh Golf Club welcoming beginners as well as experienced golfers. Many facilities also have driving ranges, practice areas and coaching available, making it a good destination for mixed-ability golf groups.
We recommend around five to seven nights for a golf holiday based in Riyadh, giving you time for several rounds alongside sightseeing and other experiences. For a trip combining Riyadh with the Red Sea or another Saudi destination, seven to ten nights provides a more relaxed itinerary.
Saudi Arabia is well connected with the UK, with direct flights from London to Riyadh and Jeddah taking around six to seven hours. Travellers from Ireland will usually travel with a connection. Once in Saudi Arabia, domestic flights make it relatively easy to combine different destinations within one golf holiday.
Requirements can vary between golf clubs, so we recommend travelling with proof of your handicap where available. We will confirm the individual requirements for each course before you travel. British passport holders also require the appropriate visa or travel authorisation to enter Saudi Arabia and should check the latest entry requirements before departure.
There is plenty to combine with your golf. In Riyadh, explore historic Diriyah, traditional souks, restaurants and modern entertainment districts, or head into the desert for a completely different experience. Along the Red Sea, you can add beaches, diving and luxury resorts, making Saudi Arabia ideal for a golf holiday with plenty beyond the fairways.
