As the world’s golfing spotlight turned to Yas Island for last week’s Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, CPG Collection Member, Yas Links Abu Dhabi, has retained its position as the number one course in the Middle East in the latest Top100GolfCourses.com ranking.
The latest update sees multiple Viya venues perform exceptionally well across the board. Yas Acres Golf & Country Club has entered the Top 20 in the Middle East for the first time, debuting at #18 – a particularly notable achievement for this exceptional nine-hole course. The Earth Course at Jumeirah Golf Estates and The Majlis Course at Emirates Golf Club have also moved up to positions #4 and #5 respectively, further strengthening the region’s reputation for world-class golf. Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club has also risen three places, now ranking #7.
“This recognition reflects the incredible depth and quality of golf we have across the UAE and wider region,” said Christopher May, Chief Executive Officer at Viya. “For Yas Links to remain the Middle East’s #1 course is something we are extremely proud of. It also highlights the strength of our wider portfolio in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, and the continued investment and commitment to excellence across all Viya venues.”
Designed by Kyle Phillips and set along the coastline of the world-famous Yas Island, Yas Links Abu Dhabi is renowned for its traditional links-style layout, spectacular sea views, and championship-level conditioning. The course is home to the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, a Rolex Series event and one of two playoff tournaments at the climax of the DP World Tour season, attracting many of the world’s leading players.
The latest ranking results further reinforce the Emirate’s growing reputation as a leading global golf destination and highlight the strength of the Viya portfolio, which continues to invest in innovation, sustainability, and exceptional guest experiences across its clubs and destinations.
