"We were absolutely delighted to receive this news," says Riffa's general manager, Michael Braidwood.
"In the readers' poll we were voted second best golf course in the Middle East for the second year running, which considering all the fabulous golf clubs located in the Emirates is a huge honour. The Emirates Golf Club received first place in the poll and Dubai Creek came third."
Riffa Golf Club is Bahrain's only grass, 18-hole championship standard golf course. The 6817-yard, par 72 course was designed by Karl Litten and opened in 1999. The Club launched "Night Golf" in June 2002 with the inauguration of floodlights on holes 10-18 and the lights are widely acclaimed as being the best in the Middle East.
Open to members and visitors alike, Riffa Golf Club boasts a fully-equipped golf academy, three full time PGA golf professionals, a well-stocked golf shop and a five-star restaurant.
