Excited to swing your clubs and soak in some Arabian luxury? Here are some of the places you should visit in Abu Dhabi for a world-class golfing experience:
1. Saadiyat Beach Club
A golf course designed by professional golfer Gary Player will definitely be a delight! Add to that scenic views, iconic hospitality and the soft murmur of the deep blue sea—you’ll experience peace like never before.
2. Yas Links
Distinguished for being the only true links golf course in Arabia, Yas Links features an award-winning course designed by Kyle Phillips—one of the leading golf course architects in the world.
3. Abu Dhabi City Golf Club
Located conveniently in the heart of the capital, this is the only two-tiered driving range in Abu Dhabi. Whether you want to catch up for a business meeting while playing a game or want to unwind after a long day, this is the ideal place to visit!.
4. Abu Dhabi Golf Club
Shaped like a falcon with outstretched wings, this impressive clubhouse comes with a 27-hole championship course and has hosted 16 consecutive editions of the HSBC Abu Dhabi Championship.
The club is open for both golfers and non-golfers, so make sure to pay a visit during your trip to Abu Dhabi.
5. Al Ghazal Golf Club
When in Arabia, a game on the sands is a must and Al Ghazal Golf Club is one of the few places that offers sand golf in the region. That’s not all. This eco-friendly course is a reserve for Abu Dhabi’s local flora and fauna so an immersive holiday with equal parts fun and exploration is guaranteed here.
While these clubs and courses offer the ultimate golf experiences in Arabia, read below to know about a convenient travel itinerary tailored for golf-enthusiasts.
Start your trip with a visit to the Abu Dhabi Golf Club where you can bat as well as pose amidst picturesque surroundings. Once you’ve had your fill of the club, head to the Al Forsan International Sports Resort for some quality family time.
Keep 1-2 days aside for Yas Links Abu Dhabi. No, we’re not asking you to play only golf on Yas Island. We’re asking you to divide your time between the many theme parks and your passion for golf for an immersive experience.
