Saadiyat Beach Golf Club

Saadiyat Beach Golf Club is the first fully operational development on Saadiyat Island. As the Island transforms into a multi-faceted destination offering a great variety of attractions, Saadiyat Beach Golf Club is the flagship sports facility on the island. Designed by golfing legend Gary Player, the course is one of the world’s most captivating golfing projects. As the Arabian Gulf’s first and only beachfront course, around one-third of the course commands spectacular views of the Gulf’s glittering, crystal waters fringed by the pristine white sand.

The imaginative course routing provides a spectacular variety of golf experiences, with every hole having its own unique character. From the creation of an aquatic habitat, to the introduction of salt-water lagoons and restoration of the beach and sand dunes, the course has been designed with strict eco-guidelines and sensitivity to the surrounding natural environment. As the social and recreational heart of Saadiyat Beach District, the club provides world-class amenities such as the hawksbill restaurant, practice facilities and an iconic Golf Academy with breathtaking views of the immaculate white sandy beach. The Golf Academy will also become home to a stunning Club House designed by world renowned architect Frank Gehry due to open in 2012.

Saadiyat Beach Golf Club was recognized as the “Best Golf Course” in Abu Dhabi at the 2009 CNBC Property Awards and was recognized as the “Best Golf Course” in the Middle East & Africa at the 2010 CNBC Property Awards.
