Golf at Waldorf Astoria Ras Al Khaimah
Challenge yourself to a round of golf on the 18-hole Peter Harradine-designed championship golf course at the Al Hamra Golf Club, located adjacent to the resort. No matter where or how well you play, you’ll enjoy an unforgettable Waldorf Astoria golf experience.
Al Hamra Golf Course
The award-winning 18-hole championship golf course was designed by the Swiss architect Peter Harradine. Four interconnected open water lagoons merge seamlessly with the water of the Arabian Gulf. As many traditional courses do, the 3,578-yard front nine makes its way out and away from the Clubhouse, while the 3,747-yard back nine returns home around the lagoon to the Clubhouse. The result is a stunning Par 72 championship course with five varying tee options on each hole.
Originally planned to be built on the salt flats bordering the water edge, 5 million cubic meters of sand combined with expert shaping create gentle elevation changes as the terrain moves around the lagoons rising and falling from plus one to plus eight meters.
Floodlit Golf
With the region’s short daylight hours, Al Hamra Golf Club uses the latest zero pollution floodlights to offer golfers the ability to play into the night. Using a combination of the front nine and back nine championship course, a composite 9-hole course is created, providing the perfect option for the business person after work or for the true golf enthusiast who just can’t get enough. Either way, golf under the stars should be a must-try experience for all.
DP World Tour
Hilton has partnered with DP World to be the official Partner to offer exclusive experiences for Hilton Honors members and showcase the leading and unique Hilton hospitality to players and staff, welcoming them at Hilton hotels around the world.
Al Hamra Golf Club hosted/held the first DP World Tour Event presented by Phoenix Capital in February 2022. It was a back-to-back event with the Ras Al Khaimah Championship held from February 3rd to 6th followed by the Ras Al Khaimah Classic held from February 10th to 13th, 2022. Unbelievably, in between the back-to-back DP World Tour events, Al Hamra Golf Club managed to play host to The Hero MotoCorp Ras Al Khaimah Team Challenge, an exciting one-day televised exhibition event featuring some of the Tour’s biggest stars competing over nine holes in a classic Scramble format. To enhance the fun the players were mic’d up, increasing the entertainment value. Nicolai Hojgaard and Ryan Fox emerged winners of respective events.
