Track, The (Meydan Golf)
Nad Al Sheba Golf Club: The redevelopment of the Nad Al Sheba race complex in 2007 required the closure of the once popular and floodlit 18-hole Nad Al Sheba golf course. Many of the holes of this former layout were located "inside the rails" of the race track.
After almost 10 years, golf returned to the area in the form of The Track (Meydan Golf). This nine-hole layout is now entirely located "outside the rails" of the racetrack, utilising some of the space occupied by the former course.
Renowned golf course architect Peter Harradine strategically crafted The Track's nine holes, allowing six natural lakes and ponds to come into play. These water hazards threaten both tee and approach shots on several occasions.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance. The Track is floodlit for night golf, playable until 11pm.

The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).
Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).
Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with four wins out of her last four appearances on the LPGA Tour, a feat last achieved by Lorena Ochoa in 2008. Korda's win at the T-Mobile Match Play brought up her 12th LPGA Tour victory.
Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda’s three-in-three, when he placed second at the Houston Open. This followed back-to-back wins at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players. Like Korda, he remains comfortably ahead in the official world golf rankings.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
