The verdict
The course at Sharjah Golf and Shooting Club was laid out by the prolific Middle East architect Peter Harradine as a fully floodlit 9 hole layout, par 36 of about 3,599 yards, that plays to a par 72 of more than 7,300 yards when looped twice. With five to seven tees on every hole, vast water features and generous fairways, it offers plenty of variety for a short course.
It is not one of the marquee championship courses of Dubai or Abu Dhabi, and it does not try to be. The appeal is access, value and the floodlighting, which lets you play in the cool of the evening, all part of a broader sports club. For a travelling golfer staying in Sharjah or the northern emirates, it is an easy, enjoyable round at a fraction of the cost of the headline resorts down the coast.

The holes worth the trip
With five to seven tees on every hole, the 9 hole layout plays very differently first and second time around, and the vast water features and generous fairways give it more variety than its length suggests. The bunkering is large and the undulations add interest on the approach.
Played twice off the back tees it stretches beyond 7,300 yards to a par 72, a fuller test than the single nine implies, while the forward tees keep it friendly for higher handicaps and beginners.
The floodlighting is the signature, letting you play well into the evening once the desert heat has eased, and the wider sports club adds shooting and other facilities. It is a relaxed, practical place to get a round in away from the resort crowds.
