Play Golf at Abu Dhabi Golf Club By Sheraton Golf Club Review

Anyone wanting a breath of fresh air and a good game of golf should head out to the paradisiacal Abu Dhabi Golf Club by Sheraton.

The Abu Dhabi Golf Club by Sheraton is located 30 minutes from the city center and just 10 minutes from Abu Dhabi International Airport. Carved majestically out of the desert, the Club features two 18-hole courses designed by Peter Harradine. The two courses occupy 162 hectares, landscaped with pocket palms, ornamental trees, shrubs and saltwater lakes.
