Royal Greens Golf & Country Club
King Abdullah Economic City
Royal Greens Golf & Country Club offers one of the most distinctive rounds on Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea coast. Set in Al Murooj, within King Abdullah Economic City around 100 kilometres north of Jeddah, the course combines lush fairways with desert terrain and wide-open sea views. We'd particularly recommend it to golfers who want championship golf in a setting that feels different from the familiar courses of Dubai or the Mediterranean.
Designed by Dave Sampson of European Golf Design, the 18-hole, par-72 layout plays to just over 6,900 yards. Wadis, lakes and carefully placed bunkers shape the strategy, but it's the coastal breeze that often has the final say. The routing changes direction frequently, so choosing the right line from the tee and controlling your approach shots can matter more than simply hitting it long. The holes closest to the Red Sea are especially memorable, with the shoreline providing a spectacular backdrop.
Royal Greens also has serious tournament pedigree, having staged the Saudi International, major women's professional events and LIV Golf Jeddah. Despite that reputation, visiting golfers can book a round. A driving range, dedicated golf academy, pro shop and impressive clubhouse with dining and leisure facilities make it easy to enjoy the experience beyond the course.
We think Royal Greens suits couples and groups who enjoy excellent course presentation and a little luxury after their round. Stay nearby at Bay La Sun Hotel & Marina or explore other accommodation within King Abdullah Economic City, with beaches and waterfront activities to fill your free time. For a tailor-made Saudi Arabia golf holiday combining Red Sea scenery, championship golf and a relaxed coastal base, we'd make Royal Greens the centrepiece.
