Playing Golf in KAUST

I hear a lot about living in KAUST, is it as easy and fun as I have heard ?

I dont live there but i could visit.

So how was is it ???    I have friends living in Saudi Airlines compound, it is not that cool and visiting them requires their presence at the gate 

KAUST is the best place you can play golf in Jeddah. I played once there and it was amazing. Just love to spend my weekend playing golf in that place.

Is that golf field open for nonresidents ? KUAST is in Thuwal, 90 something kilometers, you go all the way from Jeddah alone ? May I please know how ? I used to go to Thuwal to rent fishing boats, nice harbor and good fishing spots.

hi i live near of kau in jeddah

KAUST is the best place for living in Jeddah, lucky you

I used to come to KAUST every weekend for the beach, meeting my friends, golf, cinema, ...etc but I stopped going there since I joined the Medical college.

Are working there?
