Frequently Asked Questions
1. Where exactly is Shura Links located and how do I get there?
Shura Links is located on Shura Island, the main hub of The Red Sea luxury destination on the west coast of Saudi Arabia. It is accessible via the Red Sea International Airport (RSI), followed by a short drive across the Shura Crossing bridge. It is the centerpiece for the 11 world-class hotels currently being developed on the island.
2. Who designed the Shura Links golf course and clubhouse?
The 18-hole championship course was designed by world-renowned architect Brian Curley (of Curley & Wagner). The iconic beachfront clubhouse, which follows the "Coral Bloom" architectural theme, was designed by the global firm Foster + Partners.
3. Is Shura Links a "true" links course and is it difficult to play?
It is a Par-72 course stretching over 7,500 yards. While it is a championship-level layout, it is designed with a "find your ball" philosophy. This means wide fairways and forgiving corridors that make it enjoyable for beginners, while the coastal winds and strategic bunkering provide a stiff challenge for professionals from the back tees.
4. How does Shura Links protect the Red Sea environment?
Sustainability is a primary focus. To conserve water, only 20% of the 140-hectare site consists of maintained turf. The course uses Platinum TE Paspalum grass, which is salt-tolerant and drought-resistant, and employs smart soil sensors to ensure zero chemical runoff into the surrounding coral reefs.
5. Can guests from any hotel at The Red Sea play at Shura Links?
Yes. While located on Shura Island, the course is the premier golfing destination for guests staying at any of the luxury resorts within The Red Sea project (including the EDITION, SLS, and InterContinental). Tee times and reservations can be coordinated through resort concierges or by contacting the club directly.
