El Gouna Golf Resort Red Sea

Red Sea - Egypt

The Red Sea's premier leisure destination, El Gouna offers championship golf in an exotic setting with year-round sunshine and warm waters. An exclusive resort on the African coast of the Red Sea, El Gouna extends over twelve kilometres of beachfront, white sand and turquoise water with the dramatic backdrop of Egypt's Eastern Desert Mountains. About the size of Central London, this sprawling resort features acclaimed architecture, top of the line hotels and a huge array of amenities, services, entertainment, water and land sports.

Accommodations at El Gouna range from intimate guest houses to deluxe five-star beachfront properties and elegant waterfront boutique hotels distributed between the downtown, marina and residential areas of the resort. Fourteen different five, four and three star hotels offer a total of 2.588 guestrooms. With management chains including Mövenpick, Steigenberger, Sheraton and the Club Med, each property is uniquely designed to offer exceptional service and endless accommodation options catering to all tastes and budgets. For golfers, the Steigenberger and Club Med are right on El Gouna's fairways.

El Gouna offers the widest range of leisure possibilities in the entire Red Sea area. Services and activities are centered around the charming downtown village and marina harbour town. Both allow easy access to the numerous amenities offered at the resort, from great shopping to top of the line spas, a huge selection of restaurants, fantastic nightlife, immaculate beaches and the full range of watersports. A real divers' paradise, El Gouna's beaches and islands offer easy access to the finest coral reefs and shipwrecks in the world famous waters of the Red Sea.

El Gouna Golf & Fitness Club's 18-hole USPGA championship golf course was designed by reputed American architects Fred Couples & Gene Bates with every level of golfer in mind. With three different tees and strategically place bunkers, water hazards and desert rough, the fairways extend around the crystal blue waters of a large meandering lagoon at the heart of the resort. Players will find that the layout not only challenges physical strength and technique, but strategy and ingenuity in avoiding pitfalls and navigating the course's varied wind conditions.

There is a unique Aqua Driving Range with four island targets as well as comprehensive practice facilities and a Golf Academy with qualified international PGA professionals offering all levels of instruction on and off course. There is a splendid clubhouse with a complete proshop, exquisite dining options and a stylish spa.
