El Gouna Golf Club
DESIGN
El Gouna’s 18-hole championship Golf Course boasts year-round golfing in a setting graced with stunning panoramic views of the Red Sea mountains, turquoise waterways and sunny skies year long. Designed by Gene Bates and Fred Couples, El Gouna Golf Club Championship Course offers enjoyable golf rounds for all levels of golfers with multiple tees location on each hole. The golf course bunker features, waterways and native areas play a vital role for each individual player, a truly challenging rewarding experience.
PRACTICE FACILITIES
Golfers can warm up at the town’s unique Aqua Driving Range and practice area with pitching- chipping area and 2 putting greens accommodates up to 30 players, while there are numerous high-quality hotels just a short walk along the lagoon from the resort.
PLAYING THE COURSE
Out on the greens and fairways, the course’s obstacles and varied
wind currents will challenge the creativity and hone the ability of
every golfer. The par five fourth hole heads straight into the
prevailing wind and requires at least two well-placed wood strokes
to close in on the green.
The ninth hole plays towards the La Rotisserie Restaurant in the
clubhouse tower, and while it is a relatively easy drive for
beginners, it presents a serious challenge for those hitting off the
championship tees. The green itself is a large target, but once
there, a long putt is often required. Only a careful read of the
terrain will save you from the dreaded three-putt.
The back nine has its own surprises. The longest par four is the
fourteenth hole, where nearly 440 meters separate the championship
tee from the flag. To have a reasonable shot to the green, the
golfer must be courageous enough to carry a bunker on the left side
of the fairway that ends 250 meters from the tee.
Another signature hole is the 17th, a long, narrow and gentle dogleg
to the right running along the lagoon that separates the back nine
from the Steigenberger Golf Resort. Accuracy on the drive is
essential to avoid the sand and water traps to the right and the
fairway bunker on the left.

Ancient Sands Golf Club
Overview
Located within the world-class Red Sea
resort town of El Gouna, the Red Sea Coast is rapidly developing
into a golfing paradise. Ancient Sands offers a world-class,
18-hole, par 72 championship golf course designed by Karl
Litten, a world renowned golf course architect worldwide, adding
to the already established Red Sea golfing circuit. Ancient
Sands Golf Course is an oasis in the midst of the development.
The course carefully balances the desert landscape with the lush
fairways to create a truly enjoyable course, designed to appeal
to golfers of all standards. The course follows the natural
topography of the site, with the lagoons creating natural water
hazards for many of the holes.
Currently, 9 holes are already playable, further 9 holes
are planned to open in a second stage.
PLAYING THE COURSE
With four sets of tee locations on each hole, golfers have ample opportunities to improve their game or simply abide by their actual handicap level. The multiple sets of tees impose on individual players of all skills a unique strategy at each hole.The challenging lagoons, lakes, as well as several sand bunkers and native desert areas will test players’ abilities. The course is considered more challenging when the back tees are used, and less difficult when the remaining tees are used accordingly. Golfers should expect many target fairways and approach shots over lakes or lagoons by desert green complexes. Poorly played shots can be severely penalized or nicely rewarded, making the Ancient Sands Golf course a true game of sport in an awe-inspiring setting.
PRACTICE FACILITIES
Golfers can practice their swing on the practice facilities which include a full size grass driving range, chipping area and practice putting green.
