Where to play golf in Abu Dhabi

Saadiyat Beach Golf Club
When Gary Player designed Saadiyat Beach Golf Club, he kept its coastal location in mind – so the 18-hole course lines the beach and features palm trees, native dune grass and three salt water lakes, as well as 67 sand bunkers. The Par 72, 7,806 yard 18-hole championship course officially opened in March 2010. It costs Dhs650 for non members to play Sunday to Wednesday and Dhs850 Thursday to Saturday.
