The Rashid Equestrian and Horseracing Club (REHC) announced a project to establish a world-class golf course at its Raffa facility.
This comes as part of REHC’s efforts to enhance Bahrain’s position as a leading sports tourism destination.
The project agreement was signed in the presence of Yusuf Osama Buheji, CEO of REHC, and Yousif Bucheeri, CEO of Bareeq Al Retaj Real Estate Company, alongside Spanish golf star Sergio Garcia, who serves as the course designer and brand ambassador. The agreement covers the planning and implementation of the course within REHC’s broader development strategy.
Buheji emphasised the importance of the golf course as a strategic project led by the REHC High Committee, chaired by His Highness Shaikh Isa bin Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Isa bin Salman Education Charitable Trust, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Labour Fund (Tamkeen), and Chairman of the REHC High Committee.
He noted that the initiative aligns with efforts to diversify development projects at the club, transforming it into a premier destination while supporting the sports and tourism sectors and attracting investment to advance Bahrain’s economic growth.
Bucheeri commended Bareeq Al Retaj Real Estate Company’s role in delivering the project, describing it as a significant addition to Bahrain’s sports infrastructure.
He highlighted its contribution to the continued development of REHC, which has achieved major success in hosting international horseracing championships.
The project, he added, will further cement Bahrain’s reputation as a host for international sporting events, including golf.
