About this audio guide
This guide to Doha Golf Club traces how engineer Peter Harradine, building a course here in the 1990s, imported dozens of Arizona cacti and thousands of trees and shrubs, and dug eight lakes to hold water on a bare coastline. It follows the club into 1998, when it began hosting a European Tour stop, and the scoring records set there by Scottish golfers a year apart. The guide also covers how the same lakes and cacti that make the course beautiful funnel the Gulf wind straight down its fairways.
