Ahmadi Golf Course

Overview: Ahmadi Golf Club is one of the oldest and most historic golf courses in Kuwait, originally established in 1949 to serve the employees of the Kuwait Oil Company. It remains a classic desert sand course, featuring fairways of compacted desert earth and "browns" (oiled sand greens) instead of grass. The par-72 layout is a preserved piece of Kuwaiti oil history, offering a challenging but traditional desert game that relies on technical precision and the use of portable fairway mats to navigate the rugged, natural environment.

Did You Know? The course has long been the home of the annual Kuwait Open Championship, attracting both local enthusiasts and expatriate golfers who appreciate the unique challenge of "browns" golf. Despite the rise of luxury grass resorts in the region, Ahmadi remains a vital social and sporting hub for the oil city, serving as a gateway to the game for many generations of golfers in the Northern Gulf.
