Set along the western shoreline of Yas Island, Yas Links Abu Dhabi is widely regarded as one of the premier golf destinations in the Middle East and the region’s first true links-style golf course. Designed by renowned architect Kyle Phillips, the par-72 championship layout stretches beside the Arabian Gulf with dramatic coastal views, rolling fairways, deep bunkering, and natural mangrove surroundings that evoke the feel of classic Scottish and Irish seaside golf. Eight holes run directly along the waterfront, creating a visually spectacular and strategically demanding experience for golfers of all levels.
For golf travelers, Yas Links offers far more than just championship golf. The club features luxury practice facilities, a floodlit academy course, upscale dining, spa and fitness amenities, and easy access to Yas Island’s major attractions including the Formula 1 Yas Marina Circuit, Ferrari World, and premium waterfront hotels. Located only around 10 minutes from Abu Dhabi International Airport, it is an ideal centerpiece for a UAE golf holiday, especially during the winter season when warm temperatures and pristine course conditioning attract international players from across Europe and Asia.
