Challenging but fun!
A very different for many. A thinkers golf course on the tee box with many undulating fairways and well positioned bunkers.Greens were huge with many borrows but the ball ran true to the holes.

Darren Griffiths - UK rated 5 out of 5
Reviewed Feb 16 2016
This course has the ultimate setting. Played 4 other course in Abu Dhabi including the Abu Dhabi National, Els Club in Dubai and as nice as they are, this is so brilliantly different. The setting is mind blowing, the fairways are generous enough to give any golfer confidence, but you soon learn that there is a right area in this vastness to leave your ball, or the view to the green may be obscured. Around the green is where you earn your crust and this is more than challenging which will keep your best player occupied. The cleverness in the design is typical of this designer. Just when you think it cannot get any better the last 5 holes take it to another level. A absolute must for your golfing bucket list! Great golf course in a perfect setting....oh and it it is sunny everyday......It is another Kyle Phillips gem.

Today was the 2nd time I have played the Yas links. What a great experience again! From the time you arrive and drop your clubs, off to the 19th hole all was excellent. Service from all the staff was superb, the course is a challenge with relatively narrow fairways bounded by Trouble... Views out to Yas Island, the Marina Circuit; Ferrari world are inspirational. If you get the opportunity to play this course, then do so. Vic

Best course I've ever played.
Built solely for the golfers and not to show off for the corporate or tourist market.
Stunning back drop of bright blue water, Ferrari World and Yas Marina Circuit means that nearly every hole you'll want to get your camera out.
An experience not to be missed if you are in the area.

A huge challenge but a great course and lovely club house. When the wind picks up the par 3's next to the sea are a real hand full and once the balls off the fairway and into the bush its hard to get it back.

Played Dec 13 as part of League to Dubai competition. Fabulous condition and stunning views from most tees. The greens were large, true and quite fast but playable. It clearly is a links course but I didn't find it played like one - the greens were very receptive and there was not a great deal of roll on fairways - I guess due to watering. This is not a criticism, just an observation - it is one of the best courses I have ever played

Based on Yas Island next to the race circuit, this is not the most picturesque course, but was in beautiful condition and great fun. For some reason it played very slow - the best part of 5 1/2hrs that the marshalls weren't able to sort out, but still a great day out.

Best course in the UAE. It's a fantastic challenge for any golf lover. The new water park takes a little away from the natural surroundings - however, the course is outstanding - at times you could be in Cornwall, Norfolk or Scotland with very sunny weather. The only thing horrible about the course is the rough in which you could lose your children in!

As you would expect from the courses in the UAE, another example of an immaculate course so on that basis a 'links' is a slight mis nomer. Yes it's near the sea and if that is the basis for a links then it is but you will never get the bounces and the variety if shot making needed on a true links. Beautifully manicured fairways, well placed bukers and some fairly tricky greens. Stunning course and a must play if you are in the area. A bit pricey but hey, worth blowing the budget.Oh, and great sea views and over sea shots.

For some reason we were booked to play at 3.30pm and when we turned up they had changed the booking to 5pm for no reason. Luckily they managed to rebook us at 3.20pm, this happened to some other colleagues the previous week as well.
The food is usually excellent at the restaurant but I think the chef has changed and the quality was poor.
