Golf is Global in Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi is home to the only sand golf course in the UAE, the Al Ghazal Golf Club. Instead of grass, its “greens” are called “browns,” made of compacted sand and oil, offering golfers a truly distinctive desert golf experience under the Arabian sun. 

Abu Dhabi offers a collection of world-class golf experiences that blend dramatic landscapes with architectural flair. The flagship is the Abu Dhabi Golf Club, a 27-hole championship venue instantly recognizable for its Falcon-shaped clubhouse and lush fairways carved out of the desert. Just across the city, Yas Links delivers a true links-style challenge along the coast, ranked among the best modern courses in the world for its rugged design and panoramic sea views. Equally spectacular, the Saadiyat Beach Golf Club; the region’s first oceanfront layout designed by Gary Player.
