SOMABAY GOLF is not only the first golf course open for play on the Western Red Sea coast, but also the first Championship Course in the Middle East designed by one of the "Big Three" (Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer). The 18 hole, par 72 course offers memorable views of the lush green fairways that contrast dramatically with the rugged desert and the clear blue sea waters. Adjacent to the Championship course, is the 9 hole, Par 3 Challenge Course, also designed by Gary Player, that offers both the beginner and the more advanced golfer the opportunity to practice a variety of shots with emphasis on the short game. The Par 3 Challenge Course serves the Golf Academy where individual and group tuition by PGA Golf Professionals is available. There are also extensive practice facilities, including a 60 bay driving range, and several putting and pitching practice greens.

High class design, low maintanance
4.0 of 5 starsReviewed February 18, 2014
I was playing here 3 times in the last 4 days. The design is as GARY PLAYER makes it, I would like THRACCIAN CLIFFS a little bit more, but as a desert golf course this is more spectacular. Hole no. 5 is called PEBBLE BEACH and is just a little bit difficult to play in wind of 30 km/h and tournament conditions.
There is another PAR 3 very interesting... hole no. 15, with a deep ravine and sea behind the green. Both of these holes have drop area zone.
Waiste area is huge, all over the course but playable. Therefore hole no. 13, called DILEMA-DILEMA is not so difficult, even you are not on fairways (is a hole with 2 fairways) .
The distance is around 6.4 km from the yellow tees , C.R. is 72,2 and S.I. is 135.
Tip : if you need a lesson, try to contact GOLF ACADEMY. I recommend mr MAHOMED KAHOUL.

A dream of space, a masterpiece of space maintenance
5.0 of 5 starsReviewed February 13, 2024
Was that an experience today? What a great place and in Africa in the desert. Perfect fairways, beautiful but playable rough, a condition that the other two courses in Hurghada do not have to offer and the whole thing is characterized by the incredible views of the sea and mountains. Kudos to the architect and the team for making the course such a great experience for every golfer. Long journeys are the order of the day, a challenge for the athlete who runs and doesn't drive. You can enjoy and absorb the space better as you go. The current construction sites around the square limit the enjoyment somewhat and we can only hope that not everything will be built up after completion and that you can still enjoy the beautiful views. One thing is certain: there will be a lot of concrete around the place, which is a shame. But we will still come back. The game is an experience.

Beautiful golf days in December 2022
5.0 of 5 starsReviewed December 11, 2022
We were in Somabay for the first time and play 5x on the course. It wasn't easy because of the wind (up to 50-60 kmh) and the very fast greens. But it was a lot of fun because of the nice staff, nice foreign flight partners; varied layout and beautiful views.
In summary: gladly again 😊👍
