The Abu Dhabi Golf Championship, taking place at Abu Dhabi Golf Club from 21-24 January, is set to maximise the experience for spectators and visitors with an array of off-course entertainment facilities, the Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority (ADTA) revealed.

As well as a multitude of F&B outlets including the newly opened Bubble Lounge and a merchandise area, sponsors have provided numerous interactive activities for golfers and families.

The ADTA also revealed that visitors will be able to take golfing lessons from qualified coaches and compete for prizes in the Nintendo Wii Zone, or try out Saadiyat Beach Golf Club’s golf simulator as designed by Gary Player.

Alternatively, for a more relaxing experience, organisers said visitors could head to the on-site Emirates Palace Spa for a massage.

For those looking for entertainment after the golf, a DJ at the Bubble Lounge and jazz, rhythm and blues artists Jimmy Thomas, Johnny Mars and Samantha Smith will be on stage.
