Yas Acres Golf & Country Club Community Week
Yas Acres Golf & Country Club, the latest addition to the UAE’s expansive and impressive golfing portfolio, is officially opening its doors — and you are invited to celebrate in style with a week of special events.
Following its inauguration in December, Yas Acres is now offering the public the chance to come along and see why it is creating such a buzz in the local golf community and beyond.
From Monday April 18, Yas Acres Golf & Country Club will host a week’s worth of free activities to show just what they have to offer.
These events include:
- Ladies’ Day with free clinic, drinks and bites
- Men’s Evening with free clinic, longest drive competition and whisky tasting at the Cigar Lounge Experience
- Get into Golf evening with PGA professionals with BBQ and drinks
- Introduction to Padel with discounted court rental and on-site Mexican F&B offers
- Friday Pool & Movie Night for the Family to enjoy the fantastic leisure facilities with accompanying snacks
- Yas Acres Golf Open individual and team competitions
- Community Open Day for all to enjoy the best that Yas Acres Golf & Country Club has to offer
The week begins on Monday with Ladies Day as Abu Dhabi’s female golf enthusiasts, non-golfers and Yas Acres residents are invited to a free clinic, followed by drinks and bites. There will also be a ‘shopping soiree’ with entertainment.
The men take over on Tuesday with their own free clinic, followed by a slice of luxury with cigars and whisky tasting.
Other highlights from the week include a ‘Get Into Golf’ day on Wednesday with a further complimentary clinic, as well as access to the driving range where there will be music, a long-drive competition and Trackman access.
Thursday and Friday will promote some of the club’s other facilities with a free ‘Introduction to Padel’ evening and a ‘Pool & Movie Night’ respectively.
The weekend means only one thing — back to the course itself for some competitive golf. The Yas Acres Open will be attended by a string of VIPs where players will battle it out for the Gross and Net titles for both men and women and the inaugural plaques and trophies will be distributed.
To round things off, Yas Acres Golf & Country Club will host its first ‘Community Open Day’, with picnics for juniors and families, along with music, fun activities and Par 3 and mini-golf competitions.
About us
Yas Acres was inaugurated in December and the Fry/Straka designed nine-hole course stretches from 2,554 yards at its shortest to a challenging 3,700 yards.
Golf is available day or night thanks to the course being fully floodlit, with generous fairways, sizeable greens and plenty of water offering a fun yet challenging experience for golfers of all levels.
There are five tee grounds for each hole at Yas Acres, with decks available to suit golfers of all standards. Facilities also include an impressive driving range, access to pros for lessons, padel tennis courts, a gym and swimming pool.
