Golf in Kuwait
Including Sahara Golf Resort. On the map.
The vibe
Playing a round here means navigating manicured, intensely green fairways carved out against a stark desert backdrop. The cooler winter season is the undisputed prime time for a comfortable game before the summer heat sets in. The atmosphere is quiet and straightforward, welcoming visiting players without feeling overly exclusive.
