Many see golf as more than just a game, and soon the world will see Yas as far more than just an island. So when it came to catering to the golfing fraternity, the aim was to drive Yas to the top of their ‘must-play lists’ with acclaimed courses and all the trimmings.

A Kyle Phillips-designed links course will lie on the west shores of Yas, featuring an eighteen-hole course, a six-hole academy course, clubhouse, golf academy and floodlit practice facilities. The wildlife and sea life in this area are of immense ecological significance, so every aspect of this course is designed to take this into account. The area will also be home to some beautiful real estate that will boast stunning views of the course and open sea.

In the northern section of the island, tucked into a residential community and bordered by a 200 plus room hotel, a different type of course will provide all levels of golfers with a taste of the Yas leisure experience.

If golf is your passion, then add this as yet another reason to make Yas Island a must-see on your life’s to do list.
