The club is conveniently located in the central part of the city and provides an excellent opportunity to escape from the hustle and bustle of the day, complete a busy day with business negotiations or sightseeing on a calm note. Especially for those visiting Abu Dhabi during business trips, the evening lighting on the golf course does not turn off until 21:00.
The seventh through ninth holes are particularly complex. Local golfers call this part of the field a “prayer corner”. These three holes (par 3, par 5 and par 4, respectively) in terms of complexity can be compared with holes 11-13 of the National Golf Club in Augusta (Georgia, USA). Recently updated lawns and modern golf carts with GPS navigation systems also make this urban field attractive for golfers.
