golf in abu dhabi
Golfing has never been this cool. Golfers will definitely find
golfing in Abu Dhabi a wonderful leisure activity to boot. The National
Course and the Al Ghazal Sand Golf Course are standouts for your golfing
experience. Try golfing in these wonderful courses!
The National Course is an excellent golfing treat for you.
This posh golfing area is in Sas Al Nakhl, a short trip from the airport
and is near the city, making it one of the best golfing courses for
aficionados with limited time for golfing. The golfing complex houses
courses such as the 18 hole National Championship Course and Garden
Course. Aside from excellent golfing rounds, the course is
postcard-perfect. The place is dotted with well-groomed palms and
decorative greeneries. Indeed, the golfing course is veiled with green
foliage that will make you forget you're in a desert area.
As you enjoy golfing, a placid lake and fairway sand traps to the right
of the first tee will not escape your eyes as your vision gazes through
the falcon-shaped ritzy clubhouse. The National Course is perfect for
golfing but it's tough, too, because of the long par 4s such as the
468-yard 5th hole, the 475-yard 14th hole, and the 454-yard 9th hole. To
make golfing tougher, palms, water and sand traps serve as golfing
hurdles aside from the two par 3s (the 196-yard 7th and 183-yard 12th)
which will challenge your space-control ability and other golfing
skills.
After executing your golfing finesse in the 18 holes, you can unwind in
the clubhouse, housing dine houses, a bar with a magnificent view of the
course and a conference room. Aside from golfing, you will also enjoy
the services available: pool, tennis area, and relaxing baths. The
ambience is classy and perfect enough for your golfing activity and
needs.
The Al Ghazal Sand Golf Course
Looking for another wonderful golfing experience? Try golfing at Try Al
Ghazal Golf Club, an 18-hole par 71 area that stretches in less than
7,000 yards. It is owned and managed by Abu Dhabi Airport Duty Free.
This is the ultimate sand golfing experience.
You will find golfing in 'browns' instead of the usual 'greens'. These
'browns' are made up of sand and oil. You have to follow golfing
policies while playing sand golf. While golfing, spiking is prohibited
to avoid scarring the surface which is often flattened out and swept
clean after each game. The sand is a different golfing experience
because the browns make the ball roll swiftly but stop abruptly. Once
you get you used to it, your golfing experience will be enjoyable and
fun. The golf course underwent many innovations over the past years and
is now a hailed sand golf course in the world. Whether you are a tourist
or a local, you should not miss this golfing experience. Sand golfing
tournaments are held occasionally.
The club house stands out in an English design with deep-button sofas
tufted with large rolled arms and classy wood floorings. It also boasts
of an innovative academy to help you in your golfing skills. This
academy trains players ranging from neophytes to professionals to help
them develop their golfing skills and make them love golf as well.
Aside from golfing, the club also offers health club, gymnasium, baths,
and playing courts. Plus the club now houses Abu Dhabi's Football
Academy.
The National Course and the Al Ghazal Golf Club are but some of Abu
Dhabi's finest stopovers for your trip when you happen to land in the
area for some golfing quest or recreation. But that's is not all because
there are other equally beautiful golf courses in Abu Dhabi which could
satisfy your golfing needs with the same enjoyment, thrill and
satisfaction you crave for.
