THE COURSE

18 holes par 72 measures 7106 yards with 5 tees designed by Peter Harradine.

Additional 9 holes opened January 2007.

 

Built in 1999 with Bermuda 419 grass fairways, the course has challenges for every level of golfer. The course can be easily walked with each hole revealing a different layout. Lined with many giant cacti, date palm trees, bougainvillea, hibiscus and other trees, flowering shrubs and bushes, the course is superb. Whether the hole has some gentle slopes, some rocky coves, some water or is a long flatter par 5, the course is always fascinating and calls for accurate ball placement. The 16th rocky cove par 3, presents a wonderful view of the clubhouse in the distance with its elegant stone terrace which beckons the golfer for well deserved sunset cocktails. The club has a floodlit driving range, English speaking caddies and a resident PGA professional, on hand to meet any of your golf tuition needs (see PACKAGES section). The locker rooms also provide a small gym, Jacuzzi and sauna and massage is available. Many other facilities are available at the JW Marriott Hotel (see the main HOTEL section)

The tee box of the signature 15th par 5 hole provides the highest point on the course and the enjoyable challenge of placing the drive 50 yards below sufficiently to the right to avoid water and give a good line for the second shot uphill towards the green.

THE COURSE

18 holes measuring 7163 yards par 72 links course with 4 tees designed by Karl Litten

 

Although outside Cairo, this course is quicker and easier to reach than some of the Cairo courses. It is situated at the end of a very fast new road, on the beautiful Red Sea coast. Very quiet at present, all 18 holes were opened in 2006 and are in excellent condition. Very friendly, relaxed and altogether well set up, there are practice greens and a driving range over water with floating range balls. The course is relatively flat and has wider fairways and less hazards so an easier game to enjoy here. The links course benefits from all the advantages of fresh clean sea air breezes and mountain backdrop scenery. Opened in March 2006 there is the superbly elegant Golf Hotel at the course which provides the golf terrace bar, very good restaurant and indoor bar. Nearby the Stella Di Mare Hotel has the beach and a Thalasso Spa for non-golfers. Highly recommended as a break from the city for a thoroughly enjoyable day of golf by the sea.
