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.

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.

Windy, warm, but still beautiful
Reviewed March 11, 2026
The previous assessment, in my opinion, is far too critical and exaggerated.
The bunkers were tough, that's true. The buggies and trolleys were getting old, but that was about it.
The fairways were constantly watered, albeit with a hose! The greens were fast and good. The holes are varied and beautifully designed. With a headwind, they can sometimes be quite long. The driving range is great for warming up; of course, the balls are a bit lighter, so the distances are shorter than usual.
The terrace of the clubhouse was great, the service was friendly.
We knew we would be playing golf in the desert and enjoyed every day.
