Abu Dhabi Golf Club Claims Best Course in the Middle East
For the second straight year, Abu Dhabi Golf Club has been awarded Best Course in the Middle East at the Asia Pacific Golf Summit Awards.
The course played host to the European Tour's Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship in January.
This award joins an impressive tally of awards for Troon-managed Abu Dhabi Golf Club including Middle East Golfer's Best Improved Facility award 2011 and Golf Journal Travel Award's Newcomer Destination of the Year 2011.
Abu Dhabi Golf Club's facilities were significantly enhanced with the opening of The Westin Abu Dhabi Golf & Spa Resort.
This hotel sits alongside the famous Falcon clubhouse and guests are able to walk a few yards straight from the hotel to the first tee.
Meanwhile Saadiyat Beach Golf Club, another Troon-managed venue, was named first runner up for Best Pro Shop in Asia Pacific.
