Yas Links Abu Dhabi has entered Top100GolfCourses.com‘s World Top 100 Courses ranking for the first time, debuting at 96th.
The ranking features the most celebrated layouts across the United States, UK, Europe, and beyond, placing Yas Links firmly among elite venues in global golf.
As the only course in the UAE to feature, the recognition marks a major milestone for both the club and Abu Dhabi on the international stage, underlining the Emirate’s growing reputation as a world-class golf destination.
“This is a proud moment for everyone at Yas Links and across the wider Viya Golf team,” said Karl Whitehead, Cluster Club Manager at Viya Golf, operator of Yas Links. “Being recognised among the world’s top 100 golf courses is an outstanding achievement and a reflection of the passion, investment and high standards we continue to uphold. It’s also a powerful endorsement of Abu Dhabi’s emergence as a world-class golf destination.”
Designed by Kyle Phillips and set along the coastline of the world-famous Yas Island, Yas Links first opened in 2010 and has been widely praised for its traditional links-style layout, dramatic views, and championship-level conditioning. The club is home to the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, a Rolex Series event and one of two play-off events at the climax of the DP World Tour season.
The ranking follows an exciting period of investment at Yas Links, including the launch of a new high-performance golf academy featuring cutting-edge technology and upgraded year-round coaching facilities.
