A great course with a lot more water than you would expect for a course in the desert. Challenging holes, which demand accurate shot placement and length if you want to get a good score. Great clubhouse and all round value for money if you use a 2 for 1 voucher.

A great place to watch sport with some cool drinks. Very friendly staff who could not do enough. There must be 20 screens in here showing every sport imaginable.

We played here 5 times during our stay and this was a really great course to play. It is well maintained and quite challenging with lots of water and bunkers. If you are holding a HC of more than teens, it will be especially frustrating in parts. Bring lots of extra Golfballs :) the facilities are superb. The only reason... More

I love the Al Badia course. My favourite time to play is first thing in the morning, sleepy eyed with a coffee in hand. It's always well kept, the course looks awesome and despite the months between visits their staff always welcome me back and use my name. I wonder how they do it?
