Yas Links, in collaboration with W Abu Dhabi – Yas Island, has earned a spot on Golf World’s Top 100 World Resorts list for 2023, marking a prestigious recognition for the venue of the DP World Tour’s Abu Dhabi Championship.
As the Middle East’s premiere true links course, Yas Links offers an 18-hole course that, together with the renowned W Abu Dhabi – Yas Island hotel, forms the Yas Links Resort, Abu Dhabi. This combination has debuted at #50 on Golf World’s Top 100 World Resorts ranking, making it the leading resort in Abu Dhabi and the second-ranked resort in the UAE.
Karl Whitehead, Cluster Club Manager for Viya Golf, operator of Yas Links, said: “We’re pleased to be featured as a new entry into one of the game’s most significant rankings lists. Our partnership with the W Abu Dhabi – Yas Island hotel enables golfers from around the world to experience our professional tournament-level golf course, and the #1 golf course in the Middle East, while enjoying a memorable stay on Yas Island.
“Yas Links is one of the world’s best golf destinations, and we’re continuing to look for ways to improve our offering. Having played host to the DP World Tour’s Abu Dhabi Championship since 2022, we’re excited to kick off the new DP World Tour play-offs in November with our new schedule spot,” he added.
The championship course at Yas Links Abu Dhabi, crafted by Kyle Phillips, is located along the Arabian Gulf, offering spectacular views and features meticulously maintained fairways and challenging terrain. The resort also includes a 9-hole par-3 course and comprehensive practice facilities suitable for all skill levels.

The hotel’s amenities include a state-of-the-art gym, pool, and sun deck, all complemented by architectural nods to Abu Dhabi’s heritage.
In addition to golf, guests can explore nearby attractions like Yas Marina, Warner Brothers Studios, and Ferrari World.
