Origins

The course was developed during Sharm El Sheikh's expansion as a Red Sea resort destination and originally operated as Jolie Ville Golf Resort. American architect John Sanford designed the course, a commission the American Society of Golf Course Architects includes among his international projects.

Did You Know?
The course now marketed by Pickalbatros was previously known as Jolie Ville Golf Resort.

Design Philosophy

The course introduced a fully grassed championship layout into the arid South Sinai setting. Historical descriptions identify extensive artificial water features and a substantial grass practice facility, contrasting irrigated golf corridors with the surrounding desert environment.

Development

The major recent change has been operational and branding-related. The former Jolie Ville golf property became part of Pickalbatros, which now markets the course through Pickalbatros Golf Beach Resort and Pickalbatros Luxury Suites. Current official material continues to describe it as an 18-hole championship course.

Recognition

The course is notable as the long-established full-length golf layout serving Sharm El Sheikh. Its John Sanford authorship is documented by the American Society of Golf Course Architects.

Today

Pickalbatros operates the course as part of its Sharm El Sheikh resort portfolio. A dedicated golf reservations phone number and email are published, and guests of associated Pickalbatros properties are directed to the 18-hole course.
