Hello,

I don't know, but I suggest you work on getting out of sand traps!

Ba dum PISH!

No, but for real, where in the middle east are you looking to go? That would sort of help narrow it down... the middle east is pretty large.

Greece? Middle East? You are shooting with wide scope here.

In Kuwait the Sahara Golf club is nice. In Bahrain of course the Royal Golf Club in Riffa.

Sorry about the misunderstanding, I'm not sure yet about the exact place to travel over, this is the reason I'm a bit confused at the moment.

I just want to ask if the is any recomandation for golf courses in the middle east for countries like (Israel, Egypt, Jordan). And as well to counries like Turkey Greece and maybe even Cyprus wich not located exactly in the middle east but their not that far from them.

luu5, Thanks for the information, but Kuwait, and bahrain not an option for me at the moment to travel over.

When playing in the Middle East, Kabul Golf Club (Afghanistan) sounds like a must.

The rough contains souvenirs of the Soviet occupation, such as the massive green grillwork of an exploded Russian armored personnel carrier. A weathered explosive device lies nearby.
The "greens" are black, a compacted combination of sand and motor oil. The caddy uses a mat to drag the surface before you putt. It doesn't take a Stimpmeter to tell you these greens are as slow as Mississippi summers...

I flew in over the Katmandu golf course out near the airport ... it looked marginally better.

Morocco is littered with good/cheap golf courses because King Hassan II was a playa', but that's not the Middle East (nor are half the countries the OP mentioned).

The UAE has many good golf courses and is actually in the Middle East, so the OP probably won't go there.

Plus there are a few 'sand' courses in the UAE and Oman like the one in the link above ... except without the tanks and guns.

Caesarea Golf Club in Israel is a nice Pete Dye layout. It is also close to some ancient Roman ruins on the Mediterranean Sea just about a mile from the course. Here's a link to photos of the course I took when I played there last month.

There is a young player on the Duke women's golf team named Letitia Beck who grew up playing at Caesarea. I see that she played as an amatuer in last week's LPGA event.

There is also a nine hole course in Israel called Gash.  There are also courses in Dubai, United Arab Emirates and Abu Dhabi that the Eurpoean tour play at that would be good choices.
