Xerox Corporate Golf Challenge (XCGC), the successful corporate golf tournament with multiple qualifiers across the GCC states and South Africa, is holding its eighth qualifying round on Thursday, September 10, at Abu Dhabi Golf Club's National Course, which also host the Abu Dhabi Golf Championship, a Press release said.
The Par 72, 27-hole Championship National Course was designed by Peter Harradine. It opened in 2000, and features 162 hectares with seven lakes and 90 bunkers. Play is described as tough-but-fair and challenging, across 18 holes of lush fairways with strategically placed bunkers and generous greens.
