Who this trip suits

An all inclusive golf holiday in Abu Dhabi is winter sun golf at its most polished. The emirate has built a cluster of championship courses around its resort islands, and the five star hotels on Yas Island and Saadiyat Island make it simple to bundle the room, the meals and often the golf transfers together, then play a different course each morning before returning to a beach, a pool and a dinner already arranged. It suits the buddies group escaping a northern winter, the couples trip that wants warmth and comfort with the bill settled in advance, and the discerning golfer who wants modern, immaculately kept courses and genuine luxury at the end of the day. The distances are short, the service is exceptional, and the sun is close to guaranteed from autumn through spring.

The golf is better than its young age suggests. Yas Links is a true links built on the Gulf and rated among the best courses in the region, Saadiyat Beach runs along the sand with the sea in view, and Abu Dhabi Golf Club brings a long championship pedigree and its landmark falcon shaped clubhouse. Three contrasting, high quality courses sit within easy reach of the resort islands, with the option of quieter desert layouts for a longer stay.

The courses to build around

Yas Links

Yas Island · Kyle Phillips design · Abu Dhabi Championship host

The headline round, a Kyle Phillips links built along the Arabian Gulf that has hosted the Abu Dhabi Championship and ranks among the very best courses in the Middle East. Firm, rumpled, seaside golf with real strategy, a short transfer from the Yas Island resorts that anchor most all inclusive trips.

Best time to book

Abu Dhabi is a winter sun destination, and the golf season runs from about October to April, when the heat eases to warm, dry days ideal for a round and an afternoon on the beach. The peak weeks around the turn of the year and the Abu Dhabi Championship bring the highest demand and the best buzz, while the shoulders either side, autumn and early spring, pair fine weather with better value. High summer is intensely hot and best avoided for golf. Book the all inclusive island resort and the marquee tee times as early as you can, since the best rooms and the prime weekend times fill months ahead in the popular winter window. A trip pinned down early secures the island and the courses you want at the rate you want.

All inclusive golf Abu Dhabi questions

Can you do an all inclusive golf holiday in Abu Dhabi?

Yes. Abu Dhabi is well set up for all inclusive and half board golf trips, with resorts on Yas Island and Saadiyat Island that bundle the room, meals and often the golf transfers together. The championship courses sit close to the resort islands, so a group can stay in one luxurious base and play a different course each day with short transfers, then return to a beach, a pool and a dinner already arranged.

Which Abu Dhabi courses should you play?

The three to build around are Yas Links, the Kyle Phillips links that hosts the Abu Dhabi Championship, Saadiyat Beach, the Gary Player beachfront course on the Gulf, and the long established Abu Dhabi Golf Club with its falcon shaped clubhouse and championship pedigree. A few days takes in all three, with quieter desert courses available for a longer trip.

How much does it cost in 2026?

Indicatively, a week with five star half board or all inclusive lodging, four to five rounds and transfers runs from around 2,200 to 3,500 euros per person, rising well beyond that for the best resorts and suites. Green fees, board level and season all move the number, so always confirm directly before booking.

Can you arrange the resort, tee times and transfers together?

Yes. Submit a brief and one concierge costs the whole trip to the head, matching the right Yas Island or Saadiyat resort to your group, pre booking tee times in the best order and arranging the transfers, then routes it to a vetted operator. You book once and the group just plays, with the beach and the dinners taken care of.
