The Westin Abu Dhabi Golf Resort & Spa The Westin Abu Dhabi Golf Resort & Spa is the hospitality heart of the Abu Dhabi Golf Club – a 27-hole championship course, home to the PGA European Tour Abu Dhabi Golf Championship. This golf resort offers a stark contrast to the futuristic glass and steel structures of Abu Dhabi, and puts the focus back on the outdoors and natural surroundings. An oasis of tranquillity carved out of the desert, Abu Dhabi Golf Club offers one of the most luxurious golf resort experiences in the Middle East. The 27-hole championship course weaves through undulating terrain that features pockets of palms, ornamental trees and shrubs, as well as seven spectacular saltwater lakes. The par-72, 7,334-yard Championship course provides a tough-but-fair challenge with 18 holes of lush fairways, strategicallyplaced bunkers and generous greens. The 3,299-yard, par-36 nine is more forgiving, making it an enjoyable experience for all players, especially those new to the game. All 172 guestrooms feature the Westin Heavenly furnishings and amenities and are facing the golf course with private balconies to soak in the atmosphere and rejuvenate. From the hotel, a short drive takes you to the premier attractions in Abu Dhabi such as the Yas Island Circuit, Ferrari World and the grand Sheikh Zayed Mosque. The hotel is located near the corporate headquarters of renowned companies both local and international and the Abu Dhabi International Airport is just 5km away.
