Yas Links Golf Course

Yas Links Golf Course

Location: United Arab Emirates

This 18 hole championship golf course built on Yas island meanders its 7,414 yards between sand dunes along the beach and back again. This fantastic golf course although very young as it only opened in 2010, is already making waves. It will test professionals, excite beginners, and enthral amateurs. This is a golf course that honours the traditions of the game yet still requires the utmost of respect to get the very best out of it.

It sounds ludicrous before you arrive, the idea that someone could have created an authentic links experience in the middle of Abu Dhabi. But the Yas Links is a wonderful fantasy links golf course.

Designed by Kyle Philips, Most well known for his sterling work on Kingsbarns and Dundonald golf links in Scotland. This is links golf on steroids. All but one of the par threes feature water and with more ‘must take a photo’ moments than most golf courses worldwide, Yas Links is a firm favourite with Professionals and amateurs alike.

Yas Links measures 7,450 yards from the tips and is a real test of golfing ability.

The Course is currently ranked number 1 golf course in the United Arab Emirates.

When it comes to other courses Abu Dhabi Golf Club and Saadiyat Beach are the best options in this area to package with.

Pro Tip: Make sure that you save time to play at the Yas Links floodlit 9 hole course in the evening. Well worth experiencing.

The dedicated Golf Academy features a private members practice ground, guests practice ground, a fantastic six-hole par 3 golf course, dedicated short game practice area, six shaded hitting bays as well as two indoor swing studios.
