The Best Clubhouses In Golf

The Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship is here and as always we get to see the famous Falcon clubhouse that stands so prominently behind the 9th and 18th greens.

The clubhouse is undoubtedly one of the greatest in golf,  featuring award-winning dining options inside as well as an array of leisure facilities including swimming pools, sauna, steam room, jacuzzi and a squash court.

In addition to the many different meeting and event spaces both inside and outside, arguably the most unique area of the clubhouse is the meeting room situated in the beak of the falcon, allowing a near 360° view of the property.
