Who this trip suits
Abu Dhabi is the polished, less frenetic neighbor of Dubai, and for a luxury golf tour that is the point. Three contrasting championship courses sit within a short drive of resorts that set the global standard for service, so a couple, a high end buddies group or a corporate party can play world class golf in the morning and want for nothing in the afternoon. The winter climate is warm and dry, the airport is a five star hub in its own right, and the whole experience feels effortless.
It suits the traveler who measures a trip by the quality of the rooms, the dining and the spa as much as the golf. Saadiyat Island and Yas Island deliver suites with private beaches, Michelin pedigree restaurants and attractions from the Louvre Abu Dhabi to Formula 1, while the golf itself is genuinely first rate. We build the whole tour, the prime tee times, the transfers in a chauffeured car and the right suite, as one seamless package.
The courses to build it around
- Yas Links. A Kyle Phillips design and the only true links style course in the region, with eight holes on the water and the firm, fast turf and coastal wind of a Scottish original. The most admired course in the emirate and a recent DP World Tour venue. Indicative 2026 green fees run to about 880 to 1,100 AED.
- Saadiyat Beach Golf Club. A Gary Player design that runs right down to the beach, heavily bunkered and framed by dunes and the Gulf, with gazelles often on the fairways at dawn. Indicative 2026 green fees run from about 835 to 1,045 AED.
- Abu Dhabi Golf Club. The long time home of the emirate's DP World Tour event, a manicured desert parkland with the dramatic falcon shaped clubhouse and a stern finish. Indicative 2026 green fees start from around 632 AED for eighteen holes.
Green fees verified June 2026 from published 2026 rates and quoted in UAE dirhams. Fees change by season and time of day, with twilight rates lower, so always confirm directly before booking. See the full picture in our best golf courses in Abu Dhabi list.
