Red Sea Global (RSG) has officially opened Shura Links, the Kingdom’s first 18-hole golf course set entirely on an island within the Red Sea destination.
The par-72, 7,400-yard course, managed by Golf Saudi, blends luxury with sustainability. Winding through mangroves, golden sand dunes, and along the Red Sea coastline, it is designed in a classic links style that minimizes environmental impact while delivering a distinctive golfing experience.
Yasir bin Othman Al-Rumayyan, Governor of the Public Investment Fund and Chairman of Golf Saudi, underscored the launch’s importance:
“The opening of Shura Links marks a significant milestone in the Kingdom’s journey toward global leadership in sports and tourism. It embodies the aspirations of Saudi Vision 2030 and reaffirms the Public Investment Fund’s commitment to diversifying the economy and enhancing quality of life.”
He added that Shura Links is more than just a golf course—it represents Saudi Arabia’s ambition to transform the Red Sea into a premier hub for luxury tourism and sustainable development.
