Well, I can only say what I see and feel. The surroundings are beautiful, and I am a bit disappointed that we were not told prior to our trip that the back 9 holes were under reconstruction, which no doubt would be amazing when finished. We decided to play only the front but was offered to play it twice, which we declined. The surroundings are wonderful, and the clubhouse is beautiful. We stayed local in the Park Hyatt Abu Dhabi, which is only 5 mins away but not part of the golf course in any way, shape, or form.
The condition of the golf course was good except for the greens. The greens were very patchy, and some were not as good as that as they were working on them as we played it. This was very disappointing for us as we paid very good money to play on what we thought was a very good course and we did not feel we had total value for money. We had previously played at Education City Golf Course in Qatar only a few days before and that you would give 10 out of 10, but the Saadiyat Beach Golf Club at best was 7 and only 5 out 10 for value for money. The staff were brilliant and very helpful, as we were playing they offered us cold towels, water, ice creams etc, so the service was excellent, but the course did let everything else down. I know back home in Wales, at Brynhill Golf Club, a few months ago a few guests were a disappointed at the condition of the greens so the general manager gave the 8 of them a voucher to play again in a 12 month period free of charge, that is what I call value for money and great service. It would be lovely to visit the place again, but hopefully , if my wife and I do decide to come back, the course will be in better condition for everyone. There are some beautiful wildlife walking around and grazing on the course as well. Some amazing views and the weather was just beautiful 😍
