Golf courses United Arab Emirates

Gary Player's superb course is located on the edge of the immense beach not far from the Saadiyat Beach Club, along the dune relief of this coast already set with big hotels and soon with unavoidable museums. It offers a breathtaking and difficult course. Don't be surprised if you meet a few gazelles coming to watch you from afar. It is one of the most beautiful golf courses in the whole region and is therefore very popular and can sometimes cause great disappointment if reservations are not made well in advance

Opened in 2015, it is one of the most beautiful golf courses in the Emirates! A 45 minute drive from Dubai, this par 72 designed by Niklaus Design is in the middle of mangroves and it is not uncommon to see several species of migratory birds and pink flamingos, but what makes this course so special is the tide which completely changes the difficulty and outcome of some shots leaving your ball either in the water at high tide or in the wet sand at low tide. It can only be played by cart.

The Al-Aïn Golf Club, located near the Danat Al Aïn Resort, is a 6,140 m, 18-hole sand course. Established in 1991, the atmosphere is deliberately relaxed and simple. The course is built on sand and gravel, so no water or chemicals are used. For all these reasons, the golf course considers itself eco-responsible, so you can play without feeling guilty. Golfers playing on the sand course take a small piece of artificial turf with them to place the ball on the tee. Visitors must call to reserve.

What is special about this 18-hole golf course? It is played on sand. It is located near the airport, making it easily accessible to travelers in transit! The airport provides transportation and issues transit visas to allow for a round. The sand courses are made from a mixture of oil and compressed sand that forms a green with a grass-like surface. The 18-hole, 6,136-metre course is considered one of the largest desert courses in the world, with the front nine surrounding an archaeological site.

This 18-hole Par 72 course was opened in May 2004. It extends over 6,644 meters, and 11 of its holes are along the mangroves. It was designed by Gerald Williams. A 9-hole course and the driving range can be played at night. The latest technology, including a room equipped with numerous cameras, has been used to ensure the best course, but also to improve your technique and eliminate your faults. Very well maintained with an excellent service. Possibility of taking lessons.

Designed by Peter Harradine, this Par 72 is an extraordinary 18-hole course located on the edge of the lagoon. But the 9-hole course is just as satisfying by day as it is by night, thanks to its lighting. Two indoor and outdoor practices complete the offer, whose excellence is sure to convince all golfers, thanks to the quality of the fairways and greens and the difficulty of the course. The sports bar "The Bay" is very popular and is considered, not without mischief, as hole number 19. Clubs can be hired.

Abu Dhabi City Golf is the oldest course in the United Arab Emirates. Opened in 1976, it is located in the heart of the city, just a few swings from the horse racing track and against the backdrop of the Abu Dhabi skyline. Designed by Briton Scott Taylor, the 9-hole Par 70 features a Par 5, six Par 4s and two Par 3s. The clubhouse is very popular with the city's expatriates, especially at weekends. Discounts are available on the website. A unique place to relax just a few minutes from the Corniche.

Opened in 2010, the Par 72 course was designed by renowned golf course architect Kyle Phillips and offers magnificent views of the sea, including 8 holes located next to it. It is regularly ranked among the 50 most beautiful courses in the world. It is also a difficult course as the wind often blows strongly on this island and you will have to avoid the three salt water lakes, the more than 60 bunkers and of course the formidable sand dunes. The Yas is also home to amusement parks and the Formula 1 circuit.

On the edge of the city, on the outskirts of the residential area of Arabian Ranches, a par 72 of 6,482 m. Designed in the middle of the desert, but composed of grass, it is not enriched with any artifice and wanders in the heart of a wild site whose natural beauty it underlines. Rocks and desert plants give it an unreal charm, overlooked by a clubhouse, a bar, a restaurant and 11 luxury suites. On site: Golf school, illuminated driving range, putting green and 3 hole pitch and putt.
