Ras Al Hamra Golf Club is a nine hole layout and is unique in Oman as the first completely floodlit Golf Course. Clever placement of multiple tees with large double greens as well as alternative locations create a par 71 layout varying from 5400 yards to 6400 yards for 18 holes. Designed by Graham Marsh Golf Design, this semi-private facility is a desert style course amongst arid wadis and coastal hillsides, next to the Gulf of Oman. The course is designed to cater for all levels of golfers, from beginners up to and including elite players. RAHGC was originally opend in 1969 as a sand course but has been redesigned as a grass course with established trees and native shrubs planted throughout so that the landscape resembles the barren and rocky feel of the surrounding Omani environment.
