The Troon-managed Abu Dhabi Golf Club and Saadiyat Beach Golf Club are set to welcome the return of the popular ‘Ramadan Open’ this July.
Members and guests will take on Saadiyat Beach Golf Club’s stunning beachfront course on Friday, 25th July, before facing Abu Dhabi Golf Club’s famous National course, home to the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship, on Saturday, 26th July.
Last year, 94 players took part in the summer showpiece, and 2014’s instalment is expected to be just as popular with added features including a delicious post-play evening buffet and an official prize giving ceremony on the final evening.
Abu Dhabi Golf Club’s Director of Club Operations, Scott McCaw said: “The Ramadan Open is an annual tournament that’s always been a real highlight in our summer programme in Abu Dhabi. By offering golfers the chance to play two very different courses over the weekend, consistency really will be the key to success.”
New sponsor for the 2014 event is the iconic Abu Dhabi hotel, Emirates Palace, who is offering participants the opportunity to enjoy a reduced rate on overnight stays across the competition weekend.
“We are excited to take part in this summer’s ‘Ramadan Open’ alongside the most prominent golf clubs in Abu Dhabi” said Holger Schroth, General Manager at Emirates Palace. “With special rates over the ‘Ramadan Open’ weekend, combine this great sport on two fantastic courses with the most luxurious accommodation in Abu Dhabi for a weekend to remember. We look forward to welcoming all golf enthusiasts to the Palace this July.”
Entry fee to the Ramadan Open 2014 includes the 36-hole competition, golf cart, full use of practice facilities and an evening buffet at Abu Dhabi Golf Club following Saturday’s prize presentation. Participants are also able to benefit from a one-off Ramadan Open special rate at Emirates Palace over the competition weekend.
The Ramadan Open takes place 25 July 2014 at Saadiyat Beach Golf Club and 26 July at Abu Dhabi Golf Club (2pm shotgun start). Entry fees start at AED 150 for joint members and juniors.
