About The Area
Makadi Bay is a relaxed, resort-focused destination on Egypt’s Red Sea Coast, offering dependable sunshine, wide-open coastal scenery and easy access to one of the region’s standout championship courses. Located just south of Hurghada, it provides a quieter alternative to busier resorts while still delivering a high-quality golf experience.
The area’s headline venue is The Cascades Golf Resort, Spa & Thalasso, located a short drive away in nearby Soma Bay. Designed by Gary Player, this championship course is widely regarded as one of the finest in Egypt. Set on elevated desert terrain overlooking the Red Sea, it features generous fairways, strategic bunkering and fast, subtly contoured greens. The open layout allows for confident driving, but approach play becomes critical — particularly when coastal winds pick up across the exposed holes. The combination of desert landscape and ocean views creates a visually striking and memorable round.
Golf in Makadi Bay is defined by firm, fast conditions and year-round playability. The most comfortable season runs from October to April, when temperatures are warm without being excessive, making it a popular winter-sun destination.
Off the course, Makadi Bay is all about relaxation. The Red Sea’s clear waters and coral reefs make snorkelling and diving major highlights, while beachfront resorts offer spa facilities, pools and all-inclusive dining. For more activity, Hurghada is within easy reach, providing excursions, nightlife and marina dining.
For golfers seeking reliable sunshine, scenic desert golf and a peaceful coastal setting with access to championship-level courses, Makadi Bay delivers one of Egypt’s most easy-going and enjoyable golf escapes.
