THE FAIRWAY HIT the LINKS Discover Al Hamra Golf Club nestled in the Northern emirate of Ras Al Khaimah A quick 55-minute drive from Dubai takes you away from the hustle and bustle to the peace and tranquility of the northernmost of the UAE’s seven Emirates, Ras Al Khaimah. The Al Hamra Village development includes a golf course, marina, residential complex, retail outlets and five-star hotel, Hilton Al Hamra Beach & Golf Resort. Al Hamra Golf Club, designed by Swiss architect Peter Harradine, takes many of its design features from traditional links’ courses, meandering around four interconnected open water lagoons merging seamlessly with the water of the Arabian Gulf. The Arabian Gulf comes into play on the majority of the 18 holes. The Par 72 Championship course lends itself perfectly to all levels of 64 EQUITY
THE FAIRWAY players, providing the fledgling novices and accomplished players with an entertaining and interesting challenge. There are five varying tee options on each hole, so you can enjoy a round of golf no matter your experience level. In order to beat the heat or the region's short daylight hours, a must try for any golfing enthusiast is night golf with holes one to seven, 17 and 18; making up a composite floodlit course to be played after sundown. The nine hole par 3 Academy course with holes ranging from 60 yards to 110, features a salt-water lake designed to test even the novice golfer's nerve. With its standalone clubhouse, it offers any level of golfer the perfect place to hone their skills from the extensive driving range, short-game area and floodlit course. Of the two golf courses in Ras Al Khaimah, this one is more expensive, but it's also incredibly maintained. Make sure to pack plenty of balls, as wayward shots will be punished. The two holes that are a must are the 10th and 18th hole. Hole 10 is the start of Al Hamra’s very own Amen Corner. A long par 4 normally played into the prevailing wind. A well-struck drive is required to either enable the approach to the green in two or setup a positional shot for the green in three. A huge bunker protects the front and right sides. This hole truly deserves its stroke index of one. Hole 18m, on the other hand, needs you to bring your A-game. This intimidating par 5 is not only elongated in length, but with the lagoon bordering the entire hole down the right, is a slicer’s nightmare. The large three-tiered green is surrounded by bunkers and will be a welcomed sight once the lagoon, wind and fairway bunkers have been challenged. Golf is not the only thing on offer, however, with its two modern clubhouses entailing a golf academy, gymnasium, fully-stocked golf shop and a range of dining options including Pesto (modern Italian eatery), The Bay Sports bar – considered by many as the 19th hole – Belgian Beer Café and Maison Mathis. Those who want to try something a little different, the club has recently launched foot-golf. Played on the par 3 academy course, the aim is to kick the football into oversized holes, around the course, providing fun for family and friends or even corporate gatherings.
