Managed by Golf Saudi, Riyadh Golf Club was designed by Scottish architect, Duncan Thomson
Often refered to as the “Pearl of The Desert” Riyadh Golf Course features a single 18-hole layout, but its length is impressive, stretching over 7,434 yards from the back tees.
Despite its substantial yardage, the course offers wide fairways and a forgiving design, making it more accessible than its scorecard length might suggest. While some players find the course challenging—especially due to its length and the strategically placed hazards—its overall design remains highly regarded. Created by renowned Scottish architect Duncan Thomson, the combination of natural elements and landscaping adds to the scenic beauty.
Managed by Golf Saudi, Riyadh Golf Club has recently hosted the Aramco Team Series Riyadh on the Ladies European Tour and is poised to continue its rise on the global golf stage. In the coming weeks and months, it will welcome the PIF Saudi International powered by SoftBank Investment Advisers in December, followed by the LIV Golf Promotions event, before then gearing up for the 2025 LIV Golf League’s season-opening tournament in February.
