Abu Dhabi, the federal capital and centre of government of the United Arab Emirates is one of the most avant-garde cities in the world, due to its architecture with modern buildings and skyscrapers along with large gardens, parks and green boulevards lining all streets and roads, coupled with the presence of all international luxury hotel chains, opulent shopping malls, cultural centres and events, provide tourists with a unique experience all year round. One of the main visitor attractions is the Sheikh Zayed Mosque with a simply marvellous structure and its interior decoration is one of the most sophisticated. Other sights worth visiting include the Louvre Abu Dhabi, the largest art museum in the Arabian Peninsula and the Yas Marina, home to the Formula 1 circuit. The emirate has played a key role in the growth of the game of golf in the Middle East and the UAE, thanks to The National golf course at the Abu Dhabi Golf Club, host of the European Tour for the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship. But golfers can also enjoy two other high-quality courses such as Yas Link and The Saadiyat Beach Golf Club, both with beautiful sea view. The distance from a hotel to the golf courses is no more than 20 minutes and Dubai is a 1.5 hour drive from the city centre.

Yas Links Abu Dhabi
Golf club page
10.12. — green fee per player: Green Fee 18 Holes (10:00)
The Yas Link is a true Links course set in the Middle East and much of this is due to its location directly on the sea with unpredictable winds that will challenge you with every shot. This versatile work was created by Kyle Philips (2010) over 6800 meters with a great view of the Arabian Sea, characterized by generous fairways with bunkers, some of them not visible to the naked eye, and wide and undulating greens favoring a second shot. A fun course, but at the same time it will require a good assessment of the situation and a perfectly placed shot to score well. Anyway, this Par 72 has 5 tee positions on each hole adapting to the qualities of each player. Excellent practice area with an elegant Andalusian style Club House, where you can enjoy the exquisite cuisine and a beautiful view of the sea.

Saadiyat Beach Golf Club

13.12. — green fee per player: Green Fee 18 Holes (10:00)
Away from the hustle and bustle of city life, The Saadiyat Beach Golf Club takes advantage of the breathtaking natural beauty of Saadiyat Island to create an incomparable experience, made all the more rewarding by spectacular views of the sparkling blue waters of the Arabian Gulf, fringed by pristine white sands. The resort was designed by Gary Player (2010) under strict environmental guidelines and sensitivity to the surrounding natural environment, which greatly enhances the overall experience. However, such a privileged location can also expose the ball to sea winds, deflecting it somewhere undesirable. In any case, the first few holes are flanked by stately homes until they open out to sea, combining links and parkland style in an optimal way, although each hole is designed to suit all levels of golfers. However, its undulating terrain, fast greens, desert sand areas and 7,130 meters may make it challenging for some players to score well and for others to enjoy the breathtaking views of the golf course and feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to play there. Saadiyat Beach Golf Club has a driving range, putting green, chipping green and a rest and dining area in the clubhouse overlooking the golf course.
