Tee it Up Abroad: Exploring Troon’s Global Golf Gems

Golf is a unique way to see the world. At Troon, our portfolio spans an international range of landscapes from coastal cliffs to desert terrain. Each region and course offers its own distinct test of skill and sense of place. From desert dunes to tropical greens, Troon’s international courses invite you to explore somewhere new with every round. 

Here are a few of our top international destinations to experience.

Els Club Desaru Coast 

Darul Ta’zim, 4, Jalan Danau, Desaru, Johor

Malaysia’s southeast coast in the vibrant Desaru Coast region (just 90 minutes from Singapore by road or ferry) is home to The Els Club Desaru Coast offering an exceptional golf resort with tropical scenery.

The flagship Ocean Course features 27 holes split across three distinctive nine-hole layouts—The Lakes, The Coast, and The Ridge—each weaving through diverse coastal terrain. Designed by Ernie Els, it delivers stunning views of the South China Sea, wetlands, lakes, and forested undulations, creating a strategic and immersive golf experience for players of all levels  .

Just minutes away, the Valley Course unfolds on rolling, elevated terrain. Designed in collaboration with Vijay Singh, it spans approximately 7,200 yards (par‑72), featuring sharp undulations, small but treacherous greens, and dramatic bunkering. The layout makes every approach count and offers memorable vistas of lush forestry and ocean glimpses from elevated vantage points.


Al Hamra Golf Club

Oslo St, Ras Al Khaimah, Ras Al Khaimah

Set against the backdrop of the Arabian Gulf in Ras Al Khaimah, Al Hamra Golf Club is one of Troon’s premier international destinations, offering both a memorable golf experience and a luxurious resort escape. Designed by Peter Harradine, this par-72 championship course stretches 7,325 yards from the back tees and winds through four interconnected lagoons, creating a visually striking and strategically demanding layout. The front nine travels away from the clubhouse, while the back nine returns home around the water culminating in a dramatic finishing stretch that rewards precision and thoughtful shot-making. 

Al Hamra Golf Club has earned its place on the global stage, hosting the DP World Tour’s inaugural Ras Al Khaimah Championship in 2022 and serving as a fixture on the European Challenge Tour from 2016 to 2018, including the season-ending Grand Final in 2018. 

Located in Al Hamra Village, the club is surrounded by nearly 1,000 guest rooms across five luxury hotels. Visitors can choose from the palatial tranquility of the Waldorf Astoria, the newly renovated Sofitel, the heritage-meets-modern charm of Al Hamra Residence & Village, or the private villa experience of The Ritz-Carlton Ras Al Khaimah, where each villa features a pool and direct beach access. After the round, players can unwind at The Bay Restaurant, which offers panoramic views of the marina and Hajar Mountains. It's the perfect setting to recap a day on one of the Middle East’s most compelling courses.

Reserva Conchal Club

Reserva Conchal, Cabo Velas, Santa Cruz 50308

Reserva Conchal Golf Club located in Costa Rica’s pristine Guanacaste coastline in the Playa Conchal–Cabo Velas region blends championship-level golf with lush tropical surroundings. Designed by Robert Trent Jones II and stretching approximately 7,021 yards as a par‑71, the course winds through rolling coastal terrain, dry tropical forest, highlight lakes, ravines, and plenty of ocean views—creating a visually rich and strategic layout for golfers of all levels. 

On one side are breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean. On the other, the lush forests of Costa Rica's northern coastline stretch towards the azure sky. Each challenging nine meanders through the rolling coastal terrain, offering stunning ocean views. This 71-par championship course provides players of all skill levels with an extraordinary eco-golf experience. Perfectly placed lakes and ravines accentuate the layout, placing a premium on well thought-out tee shots and accurate approach shots into large, manicured Bermuda-grass greens.

Visiting Reserva Conchal means more than just golf. The club is part of a 2,300-acre eco-conscious resort community featuring The Westin Golf Resort & Spa, Playa Conchal, W Costa Rica and Reserva Conchal by Marriott. Guests will enjoy upscale amenities, elegant lodging, and a refined beach and clubhouse atmosphere
