Quick answer
- What: an 18-hole golf course threaded through mangroves.
- Unusual feature: tidal creek and mangrove setting, not desert.
- Best time: cooler months; early tee times in summer.
- Good for: a half-day for golfers staying in RAK.
Tower Links Golf Club is Ras Al Khaimah’s 18-hole course, and its defining feature is the setting: rather than the manicured desert layouts you find elsewhere in the UAE, Tower Links winds through natural tidal mangroves along a creek, with water and greenery framing many of the holes. It gives the round a different character — part golf, part nature reserve — and makes it a distinctive option for golfers basing themselves in RAK.
The course
The full-length 18-hole layout plays through and around the mangrove channels, so water comes into play and the scenery changes as you move between holes. There is a clubhouse with the usual facilities, a pro shop and practice areas. It suits a range of abilities, though the water and the setting reward accurate play.
Best time to play
As with all golf in the region, the cooler months from roughly October to April are the most comfortable. In the warmer months, early-morning tee times are the way to go. Booking ahead is sensible, especially at weekends and during peak season.
Practical notes
Green fees, buggy hire, club rental and dress code apply as at any club, and these change over time, so check current rates and availability when you book. Tower Links is an easy add-on for golfers already staying on the coast.
