Just off the Abu Dhabi coast, Saadiyat Beach Golf Club is a Gary Player designed golf course that has quickly earned its reputation as one of the Middle East's must-plays. As the region's first beachfront course, built under strict environmental guidelines, it pairs proper golf with seriously good views, with white sand and bright Gulf water in the background for much of the round.
Every hole has its own look and feel and the coastal setting keeps you honest, particularly when the breeze gets up. From the back tees it's a tough ask, with plenty of demands on accuracy and decision-making, but the extra tee options make it enjoyable for mixed-ability groups too. In other words, you can take on a championship test or simply soak up the setting and play it from a length that suits your game.
It's not just the course that stands out, the set-up feels properly looked after. Expect personalised bag tags, dedicated lockers and a genuine 'Member for the Day' feel that lifts the whole experience. If you're putting together an Abu Dhabi break and want one round that feels a bit special, Saadiyat is the obvious shout.
Who is this for?
Golfers building an Abu Dhabi or UAE golf break who want a headline round on a beachfront course, with a luxury resort close by.
Who is it best for?
Mid to low handicappers who fancy a proper test from the back tees, plus couples and mixed-ability groups who will appreciate the extra tee options, slick service and beach setting.

Nice layout amongst the dunes and the beach and not overly difficult but still a good test. Tees and airways were very good but greens were average - looked a bit diseased . They putted ok but looked awful and looked unkempt.

Course is difficult if you don't like accuracy off the tea trying to avoid bunkers and strategically placed water hazards, the 18th being a great example. I thoroughly enjoyed this course but then I played ok for me, my partner disliked it, mainly as he played badly. Course reviews can vary on how you played on the day.

This course stands out for a generous and long layout, some fabulous sea-side holes, great wildlife including lots of very tame gazelles and a fabulous closing three holes that are a test for any golfer. If I have to be picky, my major criticism is its crazy number of bunkers which festoon every hole. Condition in early February was good. A very enjoyable round but weak golfers might find it a bit of a technical slog.

We had two fantastic rounds of golf on this course; including one round with two of your clients Richard and cindy . Absolutely lovely people and they made our day / round very enjoyable. If David could contact Mr I would appreciate it . Regards kelvin.

Not just the fact there is far too many bunkers but more that there is not enough fairway between the bunkers.

Found this course quite tough to play... Too many bunkers, looked and felt like you were playing on the beach. Great location but wouldn’t rush back

Well bunkered and with fast undulating greens made it a real test, but lovely views and the local wildlife made it!
