Viya has delivered a standout result in the latest Golf World Top 100 Golf Resorts ranking, with Dubai Creek climbing six places to 37 in the list following a period of significant investment and improvement, alongside Yas Links Abu Dhabi retaining its position among the world’s leading golf resorts.

The latest recognition highlights the depth and breadth of Viya’s portfolio in the UAE, with its resorts in both Dubai and Abu Dhabi continuing to earn global attention for course presentation, hospitality standards, and overall destination appeal.

Dubai Creek Resort has delivered one of the strongest performances in the latest ranking, climbing six places to be positioned at #37. This result reflects a sustained period of investment and operational improvement across the resort, with Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club forming a central part of Dubai Creek Resort’s overall offering.

Praised for the seamless integration of its championship course with Park Hyatt Dubai and its iconic Creekside setting, Dubai Creek Resort continues to be recognised as one of the world’s most complete single-course golf destinations and a benchmark within the Middle East and North Africa.

Yas Links Abu Dhabi

Yas Links Abu Dhabi also continues to represent the emirate within the Golf World Top 100 Golf Resorts, ranked #50 and recognised for its championship heritage, dramatic coastal routing, and consistently high presentation standards. Host venue of the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, Yas Links is also widely regarded by many of the world’s leading players as one of the region’s outstanding championship courses.

Commenting on this recognition, Christopher May, CEO of Viya Golf, said: “Being recognised once again in the World’s Top 100 Golf Resorts is a proud moment for our teams across Dubai and Abu Dhabi. It reflects the care, expertise and long-term investment that goes into every part of our operation. The continued ability to improve, particularly at Dubai Creek, while maintaining world-class standards at Yas Links, is a strong endorsement of our long-term vision for golf and leisure in the UAE.”
