The new nine-hole course is complemented by a clubhouse with three restaurants, a swimming pool and fitness facilities.
Yas Acres Golf & Country Club has opened in Abu Dhabi, bringing a new family-friendly attraction to the capital.
The nine-hole golf course spans 52 hectares, and is defined by its contours, long holes and a low, meandering ridgeline that runs through its centre. A lake and stream system flows through the entire course, supporting native desert plants and vegetation. The fully floodlit court is complemented by padel tennis and fitness facilities, and a swimming pool.
The clubhouse is home to Roots Bar & Kitchen, a contemporary restaurant with a large terrace overlooking the ninth hole. The club will also open two more dining outlets at the beginning of 2022.
“The Yas Acres Golf & Country Club has been developed as an inclusive club which will serve as a community social hub by modernising the traditional concept of a golf and country club,” said Matthew Waters, Group Director of golf at Troon. “This concept is the first-of-its-kind in the region, where we strive to create a paradigm shift in the way golf and country clubs are portrayed and utilised. We sincerely look forward to welcoming the Abu Dhabi community to such a spectacular facility.”
