Madinat Makadi Golf: John Sanford’s Championship Course by the Red Sea
Madinat Makadi Golf is a dedicated golf resort in Makadi Bay, south of Hurghada. Its championship course stretches across a desert landscape beside the Red Sea, offering a full-length round with views across the resort and surrounding mountains. The venue combines an 18-hole championship course with a separate nine-hole par-three executive layout, making it suitable for both full rounds and shorter practice sessions.
Course at a glance
Course design and playing experience
The 18-hole course was designed by John Sanford and plays to par 72. The club publishes a championship length of about 7,500 yards, with multiple tee options for different abilities. Its desert setting informed the choice of seashore paspalum on the fairways and sea-dwarf paspalum on the greens, grasses selected for their performance in warm, saline conditions. The course design incorporates shaped terrain and water features, while several holes require careful positioning rather than simply hitting for distance.
Club and practice facilities
A separate nine-hole par-three course gives players a shorter option. The wider golf operation includes practice facilities, lessons and club services, with the resort’s hotels and leisure amenities close by. The course has been recognised in regional golf awards and has long been positioned as one of Egypt’s leading Red Sea golf destinations.
