at Steigenberger Golf Resort El Gouna

Location: El Gouna, Red Sea Coast | Style: Resort / Championship | Length: approx. 6,855 yards | Par: 72 | Designer: Gene Bates & Fred Couples | Founded: 1999

El Gouna Golf Club is a well-established 18-hole championship course set within one of Egypt’s most attractive resort destinations on the Red Sea coast. Designed by Gene Bates in collaboration with PGA TOUR legend Fred Couples, the par-72 layout is routed through a striking mix of desert terrain, shimmering lagoons and palm-lined fairways, with mountain backdrops and coastal breezes adding to the sense of place.

A favourite among golf travellers seeking winter sun, El Gouna Golf Club is designed to be both enjoyable and strategically engaging. Wide fairways offer forgiveness from the tee, while water hazards, bunkering and prevailing winds demand thoughtful course management.

With multiple tee options, the course caters equally well to high-handicap golfers and more accomplished players, making it an ideal choice for groups and resort-based golf holidays. Guests can stay at the nearby Steigenberger Golf Resort for a stay-and-play experience.
