I always imagined it would be crazy expensive to play golf at the Sahara Kuwait Golf Club but turns out that’s not the case. Earlier this week I got in touch with the golf coach there and after a bit of back and forth I managed to figure out the cheapest way to have fun at the golf club.
If like me you just want to go alone or with friends and hit balls at the driving range, then you can do that for just 13KD. The cost to use the driving range for a non-member is 10KD for 2 hours and that includes 150 balls. If you don’t have a golf club which I’m assuming you don’t then you can rent a 7-iron for 3KD. If you want more balls, its 3KD for an additional 150.
Another great option is booking a 30-minute lesson with a professional PGA coach. The lesson costs 35KD and once you’re done with it you then get 2 hours of practice at the driving range with 150 balls to hit. The golf club is included at this price.
I went yesterday to the driving range to try it out and it’s definitely a very fun thing to do. I went just before sunset and the place was very chill. The range can hold 11 people but there was just one person when I was there. 150 balls lasted me nearly an hour of basically non-stop swinging.
If you want to play at the driving range you can either go as a walk-in or book ahead by calling them up on 22203411 or 22203410. There is a basic dress code, for guys, it’s like no jeans or shorts, no flip flops, and wear a top with a collar. When you call them they’ll fill you in. When you get to the Sahara Club, head downstairs to the golf shop, that’s where you pay and go in from.
At 13KD, this could be one of the most affordable and fun outdoor activities in Kuwait.

Are we supposed to return the 150 balls we smashed around?
Labor is cheap in Kuwait.
Nope they have a lawnmower like vehicle that scoops up all the balls
13KD per person for 2 hrs?
yup
why no jeans? wtf….
I wonder what the dress code for women is (or even if there is one)
Another one is Wafra Int. Golf which you can borrow a full set of clubs and have 100 balls to hit for 4 kd only, plus they have the long distance driving range which they remove at Sahara.
Let’s be real though, no one is driving to wafra to play golf 😅
I do Its on my way to work 😂
