Our take
Ranked 44th in Golf Digest's top 100, Yas Links is the round you build an Abu Dhabi trip around.
- Serious golfersKyle Phillips gave it rolling links land and greens set hard against the shore, with water lurking most of the way round. Bring a ground game; this is links golf, not target practice.
- Higher handicapsDead flat underfoot, so no excuses on the legs, but all that water will cost a 20 handicapper a sleeve or two. The floodlit par 3 academy course is a kind place to rebuild confidence.
- Buddy tripsPair it with Abu Dhabi Golf Club for a serious 36-hole day, then settle the side bets on the floodlit academy course after dark. The clubhouse bar handles the post-mortem.

What you are actually facing
The wind. The wind is usually north-westerly, averaging 10 km/h, gusting to 33. It is the club selection that catches people out, not the yardage.
The water. 13 hazards in play. Bring a few more balls than you think you need.
The design. Kyle Phillips.
