Dhabi sits between the<br />
sparkling azure waters of<br />
the Arabian Gulf and the<br />
ultra-modern Yas Marina<br />
Circuit on entertainment<br />
hub Yas Island, so no matter<br />
what hole you’re playing,<br />
a spectacular view is<br />
guaranteed. The slick greens<br />
and deep-pot bunkers<br />
challenge golf purists to<br />
bring their A-game, while<br />
the stylish clubhouse<br />
invites you for a post-game<br />
celebratory dinner.<br />

Located near Abu<br />
Dhabi International<br />
Airport, Al Ghazal<br />
Golf Club puts a fresh spin<br />
on the sport by swapping<br />
green fairways for smooth<br />
brown stretches of sand.<br />
The challenging all-sand<br />
18-hole course will liven<br />
up your game with its fair<br />
share of tricky holes. What<br />
makes it an extra special<br />
experience, however, is the<br />
fact that you’re teeing off<br />
around an archaeological<br />
site, which was once where<br />
the land met the sea.<br />

If you like to practice<br />
your swing surrounded<br />
by nature’s bounty,<br />
then Saadiyat Beach Golf<br />
Club is the one for you.<br />
The captivating 18-hole<br />
championship course,<br />
designed by golfing legend<br />
Gary Player, features three<br />
saltwater lakes and more<br />
than 60 white-sand bunkers<br />
that put all skill levels to the<br />
test. Frolicking dolphins are<br />
regularly spotted offshore,<br />
while native gazelles graze<br />
beside the greens. To find<br />
