Designed by South African golfing icon Gary Player, the Saadiyat Beach Golf Club is Abu Dhabi’s premier golf facility. The golf course is the Arabian Gulf’s first beachfront course, having opened in March 2010. The Golf Club is located at Saadiyat Island, just twenty minutes northeast of Abu Dhabi’s centre. Abu Dhabi is the capital city of the United Arab Emirates, and one of the most beautiful cities in the Middle East. With the nearby Yas Links golf course and Saadiyat Beach Club to play, your golfing escapade to Abu Dhabi will be one to remember. The Clubhouse at Saadiyat Beach is known as one of the best dining venues in the Middle East, and features a world-class Pro Shop, attentive staff and a terrace to enjoy your meal while watching the world go by. Saadiyat Beach Golf Club is managed by Troon, so expect world-class service.

Golf Course Information

The wide-open nature of Saadiyat Beach draws comparisons to Florida’s Streamsong Resort or New Zealand’s Tara Iti Golf Course. Measuring a massive 7,800 yards (7.1km), the Saadiyat Beach Golf Course is a monster. The Course meanders around 5-star hotels that pepper the waterfront. With five tee positions, the golf course becomes much more accessible but remains a challenge all the while. Adding to the aesthetic are the immaculate playing surfaces juxtaposed with white sand bunkers and the azure waters of the Persian Gulf. As with many golf courses in Dubai, the course is flanked by residential or commercial developments, but there is plenty of space to miss your drives.

There are three saltwater lakes on the Saadiyat Beach Golf Course, with restored beach and sand dunes providing hazards throughout the 18-hole route. There are 60 bunkers on the par-72 golf course, though the course is spread over 300 acres so there is a very open atmosphere to the place. Set amongst rolling sand dunes by the sea, Saadiyat Beach is a very fun golf course to play year-round.
