Yas Links has been named one of the world's top 25 by American magazine, Golf Digest.
A voting panel of experts ranked the two-year-old course 24th in the world, making it the best new golf course outside America.
Designed by one of golf's most innovative designers, Kyle Phillips, Yas Links is a testing par 72 that measures 7,414 yards off the back tees and boasts one of the game's most spectacular finishing stretches, sitting opposite the Yas Marina Circuit F1 race track and in view of the iconic Ferrari World Abu Dhabi theme park.
The combination of Yas and the emirate's other two championship-ready courses - Abu Dhabi Golf Club and Saadiyat Beach Golf Club - create a distinct and differentiated golf experience.
"Much like he did with Kingsbarns 10 years ago, Kyle Phillips has created a golf course from scratch that feels and plays like a completely natural site he just happened to stumble upon," said Robbie Greenfield, editor of Golf Digest Middle East.
With six clubs within a 90-minute drive, Abu Dhabi has a wealth of golf offerings - from parkland to beach and links courses - for all types of player.
