Yas Links Abu Dhabi is a semi-private golf club offering both golf and social memberships, as well as welcoming daily guests to play and reals in our world class facilities.
The golf course was designed by renowned architect Kyle Phillips . The course is a 6812 meters long par-72, with all eighteen holes benefiting from coastal views. The Andalucía clubhouse features a sports bar, fine dining restaurant, luxury locker rooms, a pro shop, as well as an outdoor pool and croquet lawn with spectacular coastal views.
What is truly remarkable about this course is that is plays like a fantasy links golf course. The fairways run fast, the greens are hard but true and fair and it is perfectly possible to play bump and runs, or putt from a mile around the green. The only part of the set-up I would say doesn’t play like a real links course are the bunkers – the sand in them was far from a North Berwick or Gullane consistency and it seemed hard to really get under the ball. That irony of complaining about the sand in the desert was not lost on us!
Like many courses in the area the prices change dramatically depending on when you want to play so if you have a little flexibility then do check out different options – the cheapest tee time available is around £50 which is incredible value.
Yas Links Abu Dhabi, only thirty (30) minutes drive from the city centre. Located on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, near to the Marina and the Yas Marina Circuit

This is one of the best golf clubs in Abu Dhabi. I played here twice in October with a friend, were both reasonable golfers and really enjoy playing here, we were not disappointed with Yas Links - expensive but worth it.
The last 3 holes (16-18) are some of the best finishing holes I've played. On the 1st day we played we had to play these hols into a 15+ mph wind which made club selection tricky!
Indoor and outdoor restaurant with extensive menus, free water on each hole, shops for food and beverages on 3 holes, can order from the cart in advance, love these gadgets.
