About Madinat Makadi Golf Resort

Madinat Makadi Golf Resort on Egypt's Red Sea coast contains two distinct golf layouts: an 18-hole, par-72 Championship Course designed by John Sanford Jr. and a separate nine-hole par-3 Executive Course. The Championship Course measures 6,880 metres, or approximately 7,500 yards as published by the resort, making it one of the longer courses in the region.

Sanford designed for a desert environment with strong seasonal wind and limited water resources. The course uses salt-tolerant paspalum grasses, including SeaDwarf on the greens and Seashore paspalum on the fairways, and the landscape incorporates large numbers of date palms and Washingtonia palms. The resort provides a driving range, equipment rental, pull trolleys and golf carts.

The course is a 27-hole resort golf course. The course was designed by John Sanford Jr.. It is open to the public. On-site facilities include Driving range, Practice facilities, Club rental, Pull trolleys, Golf carts, Clubhouse, Restaurant, Resort accommodation, and 2 more.
