Go golfing after dark

For many people, night golf likely conjures images of belting drives at Topgolf or weaving a ball through windmills and waterfalls at miniature golf. But Abu Dhabi Golf Club offers classic play on The National Golf Course, illuminated by a state-of-the-art floodlight system that allows for play from dawn until dusk. With three different tee options, non-member prices start from Dhs455 for two ball.
