Officials informed that the course conditions are improving, but the Emirates Golf Club will remain closed to the general public for today. Earlier, the organisers informed that several roads to the course were flooded and advised visitors to refrain from attempting to get to the golf course. The course will be open only to the players, the caddies, officials and the media.
