Sand Golf - UAE
« on: December 04, 2013, 06:19:50 AM »
Has anybody bothered to play any of the United Arab Emirate's 'sand' golf courses? If so, any thoughts?

(I have had a taste of sand greens at Dannebrog, NE but wondered how the sand fairways played, the combination of artificial shaping to natural movement and resulting strategy?)

Al Ghazal sure looks like a more interesting follow-up to a morning round at Yas Links than any of Abu Dhabi's other courses...

Make sure you wear sunglasses. The bright sunlight bouncing back off the dry baked semi-white sand can be pretty hellish. Oiled-sand 'greens' are not as bad as you might expect. It's certainly a golfing experience..........
