Shura Links will be Saudi Arabia’s inaugural 18-hole island golf course, with holes overlooking the water and fairways framed by the Red Sea.

The course will minimize water consumption through turf grass selection and soil sensors, and there will be innovative irrigation technology in place. Foliar feeding will preserve the turfgrass quality. As only 20 percent of the 140-hectare site will be dedicated to maintained turf, this will allow for a very natural environment.
