Arrive in Style:
Our local agents will meet and greet you upon arrival regardless of whether it is in Abu Dhabi or Dubai. We can provide private return airport transfers and also supply golf transfers too.
Weather in Abu Dhabi:
Abu Dhabi has a dry and sunny year-round climate which contributes with mild winters and hot summers. We highly recommend avoiding June to August due to daily temperatures being prohibitive for golfing. The months of May and September albeit hot, they do offer great value for money from a golfing perspective. The peak golfing months are from October to March where temperatures are perfect for golfing in the morning then relaxing by the pool or on the beach in the afternoons!
