In El Gouna it
is high season all year round. The USPGA-sized 18-hole
championship golf course (until June 2000 2x 9-hole courses)
poses a delightful challenge to every golfer.
Whether you tee off on an early summer morning, at midday in
January, or on a late spring afternoon, the sun is
guaranteed.
European pros offer lessons to beginners and seasoned
golfers alike. The well equipped pro shop offers a choice of
top golf clubs for rent to those who would rather leave
their clubs at home. For those looking for a little
competition, the club organizes regular tournaments
Gene Bates,
associate of Fred Couples, designed the El Gouna course to
be accessible to every level of golfer, from the tourist who
wants to learn the game, to the advanced golfers playing in
a Pro Am tournament. By having five different tees and a
careful placement of bunkers, lagoons, and desert rough, the
course plays well to every level of golfer. The winds,
predominately from the North, make certain holes that look
straightforward a challenge for every golfers. The 18 hole
golf course thrills advanced as well as beginner players. It
bridges the LTI - Paradisio hotel to the Kafr El Gouna, with
a walkway meandering through the vast expanse of green
If you need a
little physical relaxation after the game, there is health
spa in the clubhouse featuring sauna, steam bath, massage
and a series of pools for simply relaxing.
Designed by Michael Graves, this clubhouse has excellent
views over the course and is located near the first tee and
practice range. It facilitates a Pro-shop and a fitness club
including a well-equipped gymnasium, 3 plunge pools,
massage, sauna and a beautiful Turkish bath.
At the terrace of the Grasshoppers Bar, light snacks and
drinks are served.
The club will be available for members and hotel guests
only, although a daily fee arrangement will also be
possible.
