The club's tournament guide describes dry January-February mornings at 18-24°C with a light Shamal breeze off the Gulf, prevailing from the north-west at 8-14 knots, and about two rain days a month.
The course draws on the underlying waters of the Al-Hunayniyah Wadi to create its water hazards, which are concentrated on the back nine and above all on the closing four holes.

The club's hole guide describes the 4th as a short iron over a rocky wadi to a shallow green, and the 13th, its signature par 3, as an island-style green.
Palms and native shrubs planted across the 160-acre site attract migratory birds and waterfowl.

Every value is shown as recorded in GNN's tour-course research (profiles, championship history, the tour's visits since 2017, stories, details and course changes, each with its sources). A value no source confirmed is left out; nothing is estimated. The light in the room is the sun's real position on the last day of a recorded visit.
