Families and fans from across the kingdom will be flocking to the Bapco Energies Bahrain Championship golf tournament, kicking off today at the Royal Golf Club and running until Sunday, February 1. If you haven’t already bought your ticket, here are 10 reasons why this four-day event is unmissable!
1. It’s completely free!
Yes, you read that right. General admission to all four days
of the Bapco Energies Bahrain Championship is completely free.
Simply register via Platinum List and you’re in. Where else
can you spend a day out with family or friends, enjoy world-class sport and
entertainment, and not spend a single dinar on entry?
General admission is already sold out for Friday, with the
remaining days selling fast, so register soon to avoid disappointment.
The good news is, there are still premium experience
packages available for all four days so you can upgrade your ticket and enjoy
the tournament in style!
2. Fly high on the 100-metre zip line
For the thrill-seekers, the Championship Village features a
100-metre zip line soaring above the crowds, plus a free fall experience for
those who really want to get their adrenaline pumping.
It’s the perfect way to see the Royal Golf Club from a whole
new perspective – and make for some seriously impressive social media content.
3. The ultimate family day out
The dedicated Kids’ Zone means the little ones are
entertained all day with soft play areas, face painting, henna artists, balloon
twisters, magicians, caricaturists, and a popcorn and candy station.
While they’re having fun, you can actually relax – and
that’s priceless.
4. Discover Bahrain’s cultural heritage
The traditional Bahraini souq brings local culture to life
with hands-on experiences including dhow building, pottery, oyster activities,
basket weaving, and Bukhoor perfumery.
Sample authentic Bahraini coffee and sweets while browsing
unique crafts – it’s a celebration of everything that makes Bahrain special.
5. The new brunch experience
Priced at BD55 and available only on Friday and Saturday,
the Ticket+ Brunch combines tournament access with an unlimited BBQ buffet and
a selection of beverages from 12pm to 4pm – all with an incredible view.
It’s the perfect excuse to gather your friends and make a
proper day of it. Limited tickets are available.
6. Live entertainment
The Championship Village will be awash with live music
featuring traditional oud and guitar players.
Add roaming performers like mascots, jugglers, clowns, and
living statues, and you’ve got an atmosphere that’s more festival than fairway.
7. Food for every taste
From food trucks serving local favourites to international
cuisine, there’s something for every palate.
Grab a casual lunch, enjoy coffee from the many outlets, or
upgrade to the Ticket+, Ticket+ Brunch or Championship Chalet experiences for
elevated dining options and first-class views of the action.
8. Perfect weather and setting
Late January in Bahrain means ideal outdoor conditions –
warm days, cool evenings, and the kind of weather that makes you want to be
outside.
The Royal Golf Club provides a beautiful backdrop, with
shaded chill-out zones offering comfortable furniture and big screens so you
never miss a moment of the action.
9. World-class golf
You don’t need to know your birdies from your bogeys to
enjoy the atmosphere. The field includes Major winners Sergio Garcia, Pádraig
Harrington and Patrick Reed, as well as defending champion Laurie Canter – but
even if those names mean nothing to you, there’s something undeniably
compelling about watching elite athletes compete at the highest level. And three Bahraini golfers will be
representing the kingdom, adding local pride to the global stage.
10. Capture the Moment
The AI photobooth with instant QR code sharing and print
options means you’ll leave with memories to share.
Add carnival games with prizes, a video games tent with
consoles and bean bags, and you’ve got a day out that genuinely offers
something for everyone.
