Tower Links Golf Club sits in Ras Al Khaimah, where the course’s green fairways meet a landscape of mangroves, sandy waste areas and the Hajar Mountains. Designed by Gerald Williams, this 18-hole championship layout combines elements of desert and parkland golf. Its natural surroundings are not just scenery: the mangrove reserve and changing ground contours shape the way the course is played.

A course shaped by its natural setting
The 18-hole, Par 72 course opened in 2004. The club describes it as a blend of desert and parkland styles, with as many as 11 holes meandering around a mangrove reserve. Sandy waste areas and the Hajar Mountain backdrop give the course a distinctive northern Emirates setting.
Course design and playing options
Gerald Williams designed the layout, which measures 7,098 yards from the black tees. Multiple tee positions allow golfers to choose a suitable challenge. Paspalum grass is used across the course, while the routing around the mangroves introduces natural edges and strategic decisions throughout the round.
Practice, academy and visitor requirements
The club lists a driving range, short-game area, two practice putting greens and coaching with PGA professionals. Visitors should check tee-time availability directly with the club. Its published course rules state that golfers need a recognised handicap or a playing certificate; visitors’ advance booking window and current requirements should be reconfirmed before travel.
