About The Area
El Gouna is one of Egypt’s most polished resort destinations, purpose-built along the Red Sea with lagoons, marinas and a relaxed, upscale atmosphere. Located just north of Hurghada, it offers golfers a seamless mix of sunshine, coastal scenery and high-quality resort golf — ideal for winter escapes.
At the centre of the golfing experience is El Gouna Golf Club, a championship layout designed by Gene Bates and Fred Couples. Set among lagoons and desert terrain, the course features wide fairways, strategic bunkering and water hazards that come into play on several holes. The open layout is forgiving from the tee, making it enjoyable for mixed-ability groups, but precise approach play is required to score well. The coastal setting means wind can influence club selection, particularly on exposed holes, adding variety to each round.
Within easy reach, The Cascades Golf Resort, Spa & Thalasso at nearby Soma Bay offers a more demanding championship test, giving golfers the option to combine multiple high-quality courses during their stay.
Golf in El Gouna benefits from year-round sunshine and dry desert conditions. The prime season runs from October to April, when temperatures are warm but comfortable — making it a popular winter-sun destination for UK golfers.
Off the course, El Gouna is built around lifestyle. The marina offers waterfront restaurants, bars and boutique shops, while the Red Sea provides world-class snorkelling and diving with vibrant coral reefs. Boat trips, beach clubs and spa facilities make it easy to unwind between rounds.
For golfers seeking reliable sunshine, scenic resort golf and a destination that blends beach relaxation with easy-going luxury, El Gouna delivers one of Egypt’s most enjoyable and accessible golf escapes.
