There are two golf options in Bahrain:  1) Awali golf course where you carry a mat with you and hit from that while literally playing in the gravel of the desert; and 2) The Royal Golf Club designed by Colin Montgomery.  Below are some of the photos of the course.  It is a nice layout and they even have lights on the back nine because the sun goes down so early in the summer months.  I will likely join once the extreme heat of summer is over.  It has been 105+ here all week.

The club house.  It has three very well regarded restaurants.

The piperline in the lower half of the photo is the oil line to the refinery.  It is treated as any type of nature preserve.  You may retrieve your ball and drop without a penalty.

The view from the 18th tee.  Even though it is the middle of the desert, on the right is a water hazzard the entire length of the hole.
