 Designed by John Sanford of Sanford Golf Design, the 18 hole, par 72

Madinat Makadi Championship Golf Course extends over 7,500 yards, making it one of the longest in the region.

Madinat Makadi is a desert style golf course designed to accommodate the highest calibre international Championships, spreading over an impressive 350 acres, with a number of elevation changes. Built to USPGA standards, it features three lakes, waterfalls and a meandering stream, while five holes offer a view of the ocean and the resort.

Each hole at Madinat Makadi is strategically designed with risk/reward shot-making opportunities through the course. The front nine is distinctly different than the back nine, being flatter with a series of ponds and creeks to challenge the golfer, whereas the back nine is routed through the hills and wadiis in the desert. The challenge on the back nine is due to the natural topography that was utilized in the design.

 The course starts with a fairly simple Par 4 before launching into some very challenging shots including a couple of heroic shot opportunities on holes 3 and 13. Holes 11 and 15 result in birdies for many players, while hole 6 is the number one handicap hole, with a long Par 4, bunkers on the rightand the lake on the left, to reach the green you will have to cross the first water hazard by flying your ball against the northern wind.

 For sheer drama, the last hole of the course is best with a challenging bunker complex before the green, framed by one of the best views of the course, overlooking the Red Sea, the clubhouse and the hotel.

The overall golf experience at Madinat Makadi is designed to challenge the best golfers while allowing the average players and beginners to enjoy their day on the course. Madinat Makadi is situated on Safaga Road just 30 km away from Hurghada International Airport. A free shuttle service is available from all the hotels in Madinat Makadi.
