Course Designer: Gary Player

Set in the Arabian Gulf's ultimate address and boasting the Gulf's only ocean-side course, Saadiyat Beach is a secluded golf course that will open on November 1st 2009.

Saadiyat Beach, designed by golfing legend Gary Player promises to provide an unbelievable 18 hole championship course, with luxurious practice and hospitality facilities.

The amphitheater-style course will have sweeping Gulf and beach views and be capable of hosting a major tournament in the future. It has been designed

in a classic figure-eight configuration with a third of the course having views of the Saadiyat coastline. The course will also feature inland lakes and garden areas utilizing native grasses and desert palms.

While there is considerable focus on the Championship tees, there are several sets of tees on each hole to accommodate all levels of golfers. Design has taken much from the organic shape of the area so golfers do not have to play the same hole twice.
