“This is a proud moment for everyone at Yas Links and across the wider Viya Golf team,” said Karl Whitehead, Cluster Club Manager at Viya Golf (operator of Yas Links). “Being recognised among the world’s top 100 golf courses is an outstanding achievement and a reflection of the passion, investment and high standards we continue to uphold. It’s also a powerful endorsement of Abu Dhabi’s emergence as a world-class golf destination.”
