Abu Dhabi Golf Club

Wij waren in Abu Dhabi, Hilton Yas Island, op golfstage 3 jaar geleden . Speelden toen de Abu Dhabi golf courde. Het was goed. 8/10. Wat een verschil met vandaag, 2024. Dit is een golf course om niet meer te spelen. Vooral door het lang gras op de greens. We slapen in het Vogo hotel, aan de golf en hebbel 3 x 18 holes geboekt. Voor water, betalen, voor koffie na dinner betalen. Televisie is outdated, kamers ok. Top of de bill ! Wou vanavond even putten en chippen met eigen ballen.... kan niet, tenzij je een tee boekte. Had er eentje zaterdag, morgen en woensdag geboekt. Maar putten , ho maar! Unaxepable!!! Alsof we geen guest zijn, maar cattle to be milked.

Had a lay over in Abu Dhabi of a day and naturally thought why not get a round or two in, had Abu Dhabi Golf Club and Yas Links lined up for an epic layover only to be hit with the biggest storm the country has seen in recent times the day before and complete closure of all courses on the day of my arrival. Needless to say the staff were so friendly and helpful in rearranging and making me feel welcome for the duration of my day with no play. On my return journey I did finally get to play and was very happy to have made the effort to do so.

You can tell apart from the general hospitality in the clubhouse that a lot of effort is put into the overall experience on the day. When you arrive you get taken by cart to the range, and what a range, to get your complimentary balls, water and a soft drink. The course is cart only and in that heat I’d definitely recommend it.

It is an iconic DP World Tour course and my first experience of desert golf. Credit to the ground staff who despite it being blistering hot in the summer still manage to have the fairways and greens in good condition, the greens were pretty quick!

Unfortunately I didn’t have time for the night golf but would love to come back one day an experience it. Very nice course and even better experience and haven’t even mentioned the iconic clubhouse which is very impressive when playing back towards it.

Great golf course. Very good fairways, greens were a little bit firm, but all in all in great condition. Holes were challenging but a lot of fun! Clubhouse is unlike anything I have ever seen.

Gastvrije ontvangst, een perfecte superfijne golfset, een fantastische baan waar elke hole een uitdaging is met strategische waterpartijen, snelle greens en een veelvoud aan bunkers. Niet goedkoop, maar meer dan de moeite waard.

What an experience. This course exudes golf! Certainly pleasant reception, course in perfect condition and nice fast greens. The surroundings of the holes are also fantastic. All the staff are very customer friendly (much better than on Yas Links!). The track layout is perfectly composed. If you are in Abu Dhabi, then definitely play this course! The green fee of Euro 250 is definitely worth it. You will make a golf memory here forever! You can see the iconic clubhouse from several holes. Course is easy to play due to the wide fairways and you can still find your ball in the semi rough. The restaurant and menu are also top notch for a reasonable price. In short: if you say golf, you say Abu Dhabi Golf Club!
