Red Sea Global officially opens first island golf course on Shura Island
Red Sea Global (RSG) has officially
opened Shura Links, Saudi Arabia’s first island golf course, located on Shura
Island at the heart of The Red Sea destination. The launch marks a major
milestone for the Kingdom’s luxury tourism and sports development agenda under Vision
2030.
Designed by acclaimed golf architect
Brian Curley and managed by Golf Saudi, the par-72, 7,400-yard course
offers a distinctive coastal links experience. Carved through native mangroves
and sweeping dunes, the layout follows the Red Sea shoreline, blending
seamlessly with the island’s natural topography and aligning with RSG’s
regenerative tourism principles.
“The opening of Shura Links is a
landmark achievement in the Kingdom’s pursuit of global leadership in sports
and tourism. It reflects the ambitions of Saudi Vision 2030 and underscores
PIF’s commitment to unlocking new sectors that diversify our economy and
elevate quality of life,” said Yasir
Al-Rumayyan, Chairman of Golf Saudi.
