Designed by Gary Player, Saadiyat Beach Club is an 18-hole, par-72 golf course which opened for play in March 2010. At the time, it was billed as the Persian Gulf’s first ocean course, with six holes featuring panoramic Gulf views.
Located on Sandiyat Island, 10 kilometers to the north east of Abu Dhabi city center, the course is one of the most environmentally friendly in the region due to the strict environmental guidelines it has been built to. It is set out across a site of over 300 acres and weaves in and out of numerous five-star hotels that line the beach.
Incorporated into the layout are many challenging hazards, in the form of three saltwater lakes and large sand dunes. In addition, there are also in excess of 60 bunkers scattered throughout the course, causing even the lowest handicapper to consider their shot carefully. Sandiyat Beach measures a huge 7,806 yards from the tips, but with five different tees to choose from it is playable by golfers of all abilities.
Sadiyat Beach hosts the Gary Player Saadiyat Beach Classic each year, an acclaimed charity event that usually attracts a strong field of top pros.
