Enjoyable holiday golf course
Reviewed February 7, 2023
The El Gouna golf course is in excellent condition and well worth a visit. It has wide fairways but is far from easy. At 6,269 metres (6,856 yards) from the white tees, it is a challenge for any golfer especially when the wind blows - as it did on each of the three days we played. The greens were quick and true and the fairways were well watered and in very good condition. The rough is not long but the ball sits down deeply enough to provide a real challenge. There are lots of water hazards from the surrounding lagoons.
We bought a 3 day package that was worthwhile. The staff were all friendly and helpful. The range using ‘floater’ balls was fun and the other practice facilities good.
Enjoyed it all in the February Egyptian sunshine.

Solid space in very good condition
Reviewed September 5, 2026
My wife and I played the course twice at the end of August/beginning of September. It's a superbly maintained facility with very few visitors due to the season. The small pro shop has very friendly staff. The buggy and rental clubs (Taylormade and Cobra) were perfectly fine. The driving range is unusual with its tees leading into the water, but unsuitable for actually practicing long drives.
We found the course itself in incredibly good, immaculate condition. Fairways and greens were like carpets, even the rough was still very playable. We got used to the Bermuda grass relatively quickly.
Off the grass, the hard ground makes it almost impossible to play a ball. However, the fairways are so wide that you really have to question yourself if you miss them. This makes the course relatively easy, which leads to good scores.
Unfortunately, the bunkers are barely playable, as the sand is so hard that you have to worry about damaging your sand wedge if you try to make a normal bunker shot. This is certainly due to the extreme weather conditions, but it's a bit of a nuisance if you happen to land in a bunker.
The course is solidly designed, but it lacks "spectacular" holes. Its appeal lies in the lagoon, which, in my opinion, could have been integrated even more into the fairway design.
The toilets on the campsite leave something to be desired; they could definitely benefit from regular cleaning. This might be provided during peak season. Currently, the hygienic conditions were rather questionable.
Overall, a perfectly solid course in excellent condition that we would gladly play again. Despite its well-maintained condition, I can't give it more than a solid 3 stars because, due to its location, it lacks the kind of attractive holes that give every golf course that certain something extra.

Best kept place
Reviewed June 6, 2026
The course was in excellent condition. Dense fairways, meticulously maintained greens, not a single blemish. Yes, the bunkers are very hard, but that's probably due to the fact that you're in the desert in temperatures exceeding 30°C.
For me, it's a remarkable achievement to get the pitch into this condition and keep it that way. This is certainly only possible because so much watering is done by hand. Given the wind, this is definitely necessary to distribute the water evenly.
The diving range is certainly not suitable for top-level league players who need to precisely calibrate their distances. However, the floater balls (which you ultimately hit into the water) are perfectly adequate for a short warm-up.
We found the green fee of €50 (at the beginning of June) to be very fair. The staff were all exceptionally friendly and very helpful.
