With pods of dolphins, native gazelles, and hawksbill turtles, it is a nature lovers paradise.
Golf in Abu Dhabi is a treat. What it makes up for in quantity, it makes up for in quality. Set across the islands of Saadiyat, Yas and the mainland, the golf courses supply a variety of experiences that are hard to replicate elsewhere.

Etihad operates direct flights to Abu Dhabi from both Manchester and London. British Airways also fly direct from London. We also recommend flying into Dubai because the transfer time is just over 1 hour and opens up more direct flight options too.
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!
