Yas Links

Great condition price as expected but the food choices in the bar a bit unusual. Far too fine dining for a golf club

Very windy

By far the most stunning course I’ve played, and the hardest! From the staff to the facilities, the conditions it was amazing. 1st time going to Abu Dhabi and already looking. Foward to booking up for next year. Truely was one of my top experiances.

The clubhouse is beautiful. The course is excellent, it has some amazing holes, with interesting undulating greens that are very quick. Played the course 3 times and after playing off the forward tees on day 1 which at 5,400 yards is very short, as a single handicap I then played off the 62 markers although they are not slope rated for ladies and the starter wasnt happy with me playing off them. Love the course and would definitely go back.

Very busy course with groups playing in 4 balls and having their own competitions leading to slow play and no use of ready golf Too much time spent on greens deciding who’s turn to putt etc leaving us watching from the fairway (admittedly enjoying beautiful surroundings and wildlife) Some bunkers unraked and greens with a few pitch marks not uncommon Great course, amazing design and location but perhaps in danger of too much pressure

Fantastic golf course, but very busy the day we played so the pace of play was an issue. Despite there being 3 course marshals, they were totally ineffective in managing the course. It did not spoil our visit but it does need to be addressed.

The course was in great condition - at times you had to check the fairways to see if you were playing off real grass they were so good. An enjoyable round but it was slow due to a group a few holes ahead. Marshalls were trying to speed them up and the marshalls apologised to us for the slowness of our round. The upside was we were playing in the sunshine when our course at home was closed due to snow!

The greens were sanded but I still enjoyed the set up. It's definitely fun course to play even if it is windy.

Fabulous links course, fairways were better than our greens at home! highly recommend Cold water fountains available around the course which was great in the heat. So well organised, clubs taken from you on arrival and were waiting on the buggy for you at the driving range, all staff very helpful and nothing was too much trouble.

beautiful field, very technical

this is a great course, but due to storms the bunkers were ground under repair which reduced the quality. Staff and facilities off course were generally great but we had a frustratingly slow round as a 2 ball behind a bunch of 4 balls and course marshalls were absent and there was a lack of interest in our frustration when we gently told them

Wonderful experience from clubhouse to greens Last 3 holes are hard !

can't wait to go back

Great course and fabulous views! Lively old clubhouse and well looked after from start to finish.

As well presented a course as one could imagine. The greens have some crazy undulations and are very difficult to master. Many spectacular holes demanding precision.

It was windy when we played, a challenging course, lots of bunkers. Loved it

Best course in Abu Dhabi by some distance. Every hole interesting. Par 3’s amazing. Practice facilities really good and staff very friendly.

Staff in pro shop unhelpful and unfriendly. Course surrounds still in disarray from the tournament.

Busy course due to the high demand. Worth every penny. Unfortunately ygt got my tee time wrong on my itinerary and I had to be moved back to a later tee time.

Fantastic course

Sensational

Great golf course. What an experience! Every hole was different, with its own challenges and a tough finish to keep you on your toes.

MAGNIFICENT EXPERIENCE

Absolute No 1 course in UAE. Having played this course 7 years ago, it was no surprise to see this take over the hosting of the HSBC Abu Dhabi Championship. And now that it is, the investment on over-seeding etc that happens to hosting courses in UAE has taken this course to another level. Played in 38C heat, but with a really gusting wind made the course bear its teeth, especially the final few holes. Great contouring and layout of holes making the most of the wind and with some of the biggest greens we have played on meaning that getting onto the putting surface was not the end of the challenge. Lots of favourite holes on this course, but the par 3 17th and par 5 18th into the wind were as tough as they come.

Stunning course, clubhouse fabulous.

Yas Links in Top5 courses I have ever played and trust me I have played Portugal Spain South Africa etc

Do not recommend playing the course when they're tearing down the grandstands and tournament faclities. Clubhouse service was poor, lack of buggies, on course new to golf group playing lessons taking place when the course was very busy, we finished the round in dusk

This was as good as it gets Must be one of the hardest enjoyable challenging courses anyone can play

Greens were exceptional, fairways and tees in good shape but with some bare patches. Played their twice, on the second round there was slot of course maintenance in preparation for a tournament and the bunkers were poor so it’s worth checking condition before you go. Tough golf course but definitely would return.

Some areas of GUR but unless you were off the fairway, it rarely impacted us. Views are lovely, course is strategic but I don't think as difficult as Saadiyat but thoroughly enjoyable.

Unfortunately not in the best condition, but the sun was out .

Several Fairways and bunkers were GUR Great views 17th was a perfect challenge

Yas Links was new to me on this tour but was highly rated by some of my playing pals. Current condition is sporadic, they obviously need some cooler weather to allow some areas to repair and there remains an insane amount of construction going on around the perimeter of the course. However, the layout of this course is awesome with the back nine, in particular, a joyous challenge. We played in a shotgun start format which kicked off at 12-45pm so it was truly hot (39c) but we benefited later on from a breeze which made our back nine (actually the front nine) more pleasant. The clubhouse is somewhat understated but comfortable and relaxing and extremely friendly. All in all we had a great day at Yas Links but were not expecting preferred lies and very straggly rough. In perfect shape this would be a fantastic experience to play, for us it was just really enjoyable but not perfect.

I have played a lot of links courses in the UK and this is one of the best.

Excellent condition and lovely course staff very friendly

This course was one of the most pristine, immaculately presented course I’ve had the pleasure of playing. It is set up for everyone, whatever handicap, to challenge themselves . A Superb Test !! Can’t wait to go back.

Tough windy conditions with fast and undulating greens created a real test. Few other players on the course the day we played, so it was real millionaires golf on a millionaires golf course!

We have played Yas many times but this time the course was not in great condition especially the fairways - disappointing. Range was not great either.

Wonderful golf experience from the direction of the pro shop staff, the facilities, and the great course just not used to the speed of the greens.

I can honestly say I was blown away with just how seriously nice this course was. Yas Links is by far the best golf course I have ever played and I can say that even though I am only a 20 handicapper I have played on some really nice courses all over the world. The holes were just so unique to anything I have ever played before and the last 3 or 4 holes just somehow got even better, finishing off with the 18 being just an incredible hole. I would recommend any golfer to play all three courses in Abu Dhabi we played (Abu Dhabi and Saadiyat being the others) and bet my last dollar that they will not have one single complaint.

Just back from Yas Links so here is my review. We really enjoyed it, we've already booked to come back here in six months time. It is probably one of the best courses you'll ever play, World Class! Has a feel of Kingsbarns but with the added element of sun and cactus! The 17th was a personal favourite for me. Just one small thing I'd recommend to someone playing here is that the buggies give you yardages to the middle of the greens, the other courses in Abu Dhabi give them to flag.

Yas Links stands out especially as one of the best courses I have played. Not surprisingly there were similarities between it and Kingsbarns in terms of the lay-out, and from every tee position the holes looked spectacular. The short holes were all memorable, and go to prove that a par-three doesn’t need to be approaching 200 yards to make it a real test of golf, but the finishing hole – a great par-5 following the coast line round to a perfect finishing green had everyone talking in the bar afterwards.
