About this trip

A Royal Umrah. A World Championship. One unrepeatable fortnight on the Red Sea.
About this trip image

There is no journey on earth like this one.

14th - 25th Jan & 20th - 25th Jan.

From the sacred stillness of the Haram in Makkah to the emerald fairways of the Red Sea, Golf Umrah returns for 2027, the trip our travellers already call unrepeatable, back with its biggest edition yet, uniting the spiritual majesty of Umrah with the prestige of championship golf.

This is an invitation reserved for those who understand that true luxury is not simply comfort, but meaning. Begin in the Holy City of Makkah, in the shadow of the Ka'bah, performing Umrah amidst the golden light of the Haram. Continue to Madinah, City of Light, for Ziyarah at the resting place of the Prophet (peace be upon him), travelling between the two Holy Cities aboard the Haramain High-Speed Railway in effortless comfort.

From Madinah, the journey turns west, to King Abdullah Economic City on the shores of the Red Sea, home to Royal Greens Golf & Country Club, Saudi Arabia's most decorated championship links, and stage for the Muslim Golf Association World Championship. Five nights of ultra all-inclusive splendour await at Rixos Murjana, where a private beach, championship fairways and five-star Arabian hospitality converge.

Whether you compete for the World Championship title, take your first swing under the lights of Royal Greens as a beginner, or simply wish to spend your days at leisure by the Red Sea, Golf Umrah has been designed without compromise, for every guest, at every level.

And however much time you have, we have curated two ways to join it. The full Golf Umrah, twelve unrepeatable days moving from Makkah to Madinah to the Red Sea, for the complete pilgrimage and championship journey. Or, for those short on time, join us from Day 7 for the five-day Red Sea experience, which will also include a Friday visit to Makkah for Jummah and Umrah at the Haram.

There is no trip in the world quite like it.

Format of Golf Tournaments
MGA World & Team Championships image

The MGA World Final & Team Championship runs across five days:

  • Wednesday – Practice Round & Night Golf

  • Thursday – Round 1

  • Friday – Rest Day

  • Saturday – Round 2

  • Sunday – Final Round

MGA Singles World Championship

Division 1 (Handicap 0–8.4) plays a Nett strokeplay tournament across all three rounds, with every round counting towards a final combined score. Every shot counts.

Division 2 (Handicap 8.5–14.4) & Division 3 (Handicap 14.5–21) both play a combined Stableford tournament across all three rounds.

The Team Championship raises the stakes even further. Pick your squad of four, any handicap, any division, one banner to play for. Every round from every one of your four players counts, all three rounds added together across the whole team, and when the totals are in on Sunday, the four with the highest combined score are crowned Team World Champions.

Don't have a full four? No problem, MGA will place you into a team with other players so everyone competes.

Handicaps are capped at 21. Players who have competed in an MGA tournament in South Africa, the UK or the USA will play at their lowest registered handicap, either from an MGA event in their home country, or their handicap on arrival in Saudi Arabia, whichever is lower.

A full list of rules will be emailed to all participants ahead of the trip.
