Yas Acres Golf & Country Club

What Yas Acres Golf & Country Club does

Yas Acres Golf & Country Club operates a 9-hole, 3,700-yard par-3 golf course designed by Fry/Straka within the Yas Acres master-planned residential community in Abu Dhabi, UAE. The property is one of three golf venues operated under the Viya Golf Abu Dhabi brand umbrella — alongside Yas Links Abu Dhabi and Saadiyat Beach Golf Club — and is owned and managed by wasl Asset Management Group, a UAE real-estate and hospitality operator. The facility is positioned as a community-anchored leisure asset that supplements its core golf offering with diversified hospitality and event-based revenue streams.

The core product surface consists of the golf course, three on-site dining venues (Acres Grill House steakhouse, Roots Bar & Kitchen, and The Black Room for Arabic and international cuisine), the Viya Golf Performance Institute academy, leisure facilities, bespoke corporate and social events, and membership programs. Technology infrastructure is anchored by the Viya App (iOS and Android), which handles tee-time booking, membership management, and a cross-property rewards program redeemable across more than 400 locations; tee times are also distributed via the Viya Golf Holidays tourism platform and the corporate Viya Golf website. The booking platform and rewards system are shared across the Viya Golf portfolio, providing Yas Acres with distribution reach and loyalty infrastructure beyond what a standalone 9-hole venue could build independently.

Revenue is generated from four streams: green-fee tee-time bookings (transaction fees), annual and monthly memberships (recurring subscriptions), on-site dining across the three venues (transaction fees), and bespoke event hosting for corporate and private occasions (professional services). The customer base spans individual golfers as the primary segment, corporate clients seeking event venues, and beginner-to-intermediate learners served by the academy. Public pricing is not disclosed; bookings are self-serve via the Viya App and website for leisure customers, with memberships and events sold directly. The company is privately held, employs 251–500 staff, and operates from a single location in Abu Dhabi.

Direct peers

• Yas Links Abu Dhabi: Sister property within the same Viya Golf Abu Dhabi portfolio. An 18-hole Kyle Phillips-designed links course also offering tee-time bookings, dining, memberships, and Tommy Fleetwood Academy under the same Viya App and rewards platform, directly comparable on customer base, brand, and operating model to Yas Acres.
• Saadiyat Beach Golf Club: Third Viya Golf Abu Dhabi property; an 18-hole Gary Player/Nicklaus Design beachfront championship course with dining (Hawksbill restaurant), memberships, and the Viya Performance Institute. Closely comparable because it shares branding, technology, and customer segments with Yas Acres within the same portfolio.
• Emirates Golf Club: UAE golf and country club operating the Majilis and Faldo championship courses plus dining, memberships, and a floodlit par-3 course. Comparable to Yas Acres as a multi-vertical UAE golf club targeting residents, tourists, and corporate events.
• Jumeirah Golf Estates: Dubai residential-community golf and country club with four 18-hole courses (Earth, Fire, Moon, Faldo), clubhouse dining, memberships, and tournament-hosting capability. Comparable as a UAE residential-community golf property offering memberships, F&B, and corporate events.
• Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club: Dubai-based golf and country club operated by Dubai Golf, featuring an 18-hole championship course, marina, clubhouse F&B, and corporate event hosting. Comparable to Yas Acres as a UAE premium golf club targeting members, tourists, and corporate clients.
• The Track Meydan Golf Club: UAE pay-and-play and membership golf facility with an 18-hole course, floodlit par-3, dining venues, and academy. Comparable to Yas Acres as a UAE golf operation offering memberships, F&B, and academy programs.
• Trump International Golf Club Dubai: Premium 18-hole championship golf course in Dubai with clubhouse dining, memberships, and corporate event capability. Comparable to Yas Acres as a UAE premium golf property competing for similar member and corporate-event demand.
• The Els Club Dubai: Ernie Els-designed premium golf club in Dubai offering 18-hole course, clubhouse dining, memberships, and tournament hosting. Comparable to Yas Acres as a UAE premium destination golf club targeting members and corporate clients.

Broad incumbents

• Dubai Golf (operating entity): Operator of multiple UAE golf assets including Emirates Golf Club, Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club, and The Track Meydan. Comparable to Yas Acres/Viya Golf as a UAE golf multi-property operating platform; however, it is a broader incumbent rather than a single-asset community club.

Regional players

• Royal Greens Golf & Country Club: Premium 18-hole King Abdullah Economic City golf and country club in Saudi Arabia with memberships, dining, leisure facilities, and community integration. Comparable to Yas Acres as a GCC residential-community golf club, though it serves a different national market.
