About The Area
Abu Dhabi has firmly established itself as one of the Middle East’s premier golf destinations, blending championship layouts with year-round sunshine and five-star resort comfort. For UK golfers looking to combine serious golf with winter warmth, it offers immaculate conditioning, seamless service and a polished, luxury feel throughout.
The flagship venue is Abu Dhabi Golf Club, host of the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship on the DP World Tour. Its National Course is a modern desert classic — generous off the tee but heavily protected by strategic bunkering and water hazards that demand precision on approach. On Yas Island, Yas Links Abu Dhabi delivers something rare in the region: a true links-style layout set along the Arabian Gulf, with rolling fairways and coastal winds creating a completely different challenge. Meanwhile, Saadiyat Beach Golf Club offers oceanfront holes, roaming wildlife and immaculate resort presentation.
Golf in Abu Dhabi is characterised by pristine fairways, lightning-fast greens and consistent playing conditions. Floodlit practice facilities and world-class clubhouses elevate the experience further.
Away from the fairways, the city balances modern glamour with cultural depth. The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is one of the world’s most impressive landmarks, while the Louvre Abu Dhabi adds architectural and artistic intrigue. Yas Island brings Formula 1 events, theme parks and lively beach clubs into the mix, making it ideal for mixed groups.
The best time to visit is October through April, when temperatures range from warm to comfortably hot, providing perfect winter golf conditions. For golfers seeking tournament-quality courses with guaranteed sunshine and premium hospitality, Abu Dhabi delivers a polished, high-performance golf escape.
