Access. Easily accessible via a short 25-minute taxi ride from downtown Manama or Bahrain International Airport. Tee times can be booked directly online or through their golf reception, with club rentals and coaching available.
Notes. Open year-round, though afternoon rounds during summer months require high heat tolerance. Proper golf attire (collared shirts, golf shoes) is strictly required.
