In a significant recognition of its quality and global standing, Yas Links Abu Dhabi has officially entered the prestigious Top100GolfCourses.com World Top 100 Courses ranking for the very first time, debuting at an impressive number 96.
This highly regarded list includes the most celebrated layouts across the globe, placing the Abu Dhabi gem firmly amongst the world’s golfing elite.
This achievement marks a major milestone, not only for the club itself but also for Abu Dhabi on the international stage.
As the only course in the United Arab Emirates to feature in this US-inclusive ranking, it powerfully underlines the Emirate’s burgeoning reputation as a truly world-class golf destination.
Karl Whitehead, Cluster Club Manager at Viya Golf, which operates Yas Links, expressed his delight:
“This is a proud moment for everyone at Yas Links and across the wider Viya Golf team. Being recognised among the world’s top 100 golf courses is an outstanding achievement and a reflection of the passion, investment, and high standards we continue to uphold. It’s also a powerful endorsement of Abu Dhabi’s emergence as a world-class golf destination.”
Designed by the acclaimed golf course architect Kyle Phillips, Yas Links is set along the stunning coastline of the world-famous Yas Island.
The course is widely lauded for its authentic links-style layout – a unique offering in the region – complete with dramatic views and championship-level conditioning that challenges and delights golfers of all abilities.
Further testament to its calibre, Yas Links is the host venue for the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, a Rolex Series event and one of two pivotal playoff events at the climax of the DP World Tour season.
Golfing fans will recognise it as the stage where stars of the game battle it out, with recent champions including former Ryder Cup player Thomas Pieters, Victor Perez, and, most recently, England’s Paul Waring, who clinched the title in dramatic fashion last November.
This prestigious ranking follows an exciting period of investment at Yas Links.
The club recently launched a new high-performance Golf Academy, which features world-first, cutting-edge technology and significantly upgraded year-round coaching facilities, further enhancing the experience for members and visitors.
For UK golfers looking for an exceptional international golfing experience, Yas Links Abu Dhabi, now officially one of the world’s best, offers a compelling reason to consider the Emirate for their next trip.
