Where is the Royal Greens Golf Club?

More about the Royal Greens Golf Club

Royal Greens Golf and Country Club opened in 2017 and is a premier 18 home championship golf course.

Located in the upscale Al Murooj district of King Abdullah Economic City (KAEC) approximately 100 kilometers north of Jeddah-Royal Greens Golf & Country Club has swiftly emerged as a flagship destination in Saudi Arabia’s expanding golf landscape.

Opened in September 2017, Royal Greens boasts an 18-hole, par-72 championship course designed by European Golf Design under the direction of Dave Sampson. Stretching just over 7,000 yards, the layout is a seamless blend of desert beauty and lush fairways, with water features woven strategically throughout. A standout design feature is its ever-changing direction—no two consecutive holes play the same way—making wind a tactical factor on nearly every shot.

One of the course’s most iconic holes is the par-3 16th, which hugs the Red Sea shoreline. With sweeping ocean views and a challenging layout, it delivers a breathtaking and memorable test. The closing stretch provides a thrilling finale, as water hazards and coastal breezes heighten the drama and demand precision.

The course is designed by European Golf Design (EGD) and is one of the best courses in the Middle East.

It is a par 72 playing a maximum length of just over 7,000 yards.

Operated by Troon Golf, the global leader in premium golf course management, Royal Greens offers an exceptional, luxury golf experience. The clubhouse, perched above the coastline, features panoramic Red Sea views and houses upscale dining venues, a private members’ lounge, cigar room, boardroom, library, and executive business center.

The club is also home to a cutting-edge Golf Academy, equipped with tools like V1 Pro, FlightScope, and SAM PuttLab, supporting player development from beginner to elite. Multilingual PGA-certified instructors lead inclusive coaching programs that welcome women, juniors, and families into the game.
