Ancient Sands Golf Club – Golfing with a view of the Red Sea

If you are a golfer looking for a course that perfectly combines sporting challenges, magnificent views and a relaxed holiday atmosphere, then the Ancient Sands Golf Club in El Gouna is the perfect destination for you.

Even the journey there is an experience: the well-maintained course is situated slightly above the lagoon city of El Gouna and offers fantastic views of the Red Sea, the mountains in the background and the typical desert landscape of Upper Egypt. Here, you can play golf surrounded by contrasts – lush green fairways meet golden sand dunes and turquoise blue water.

The golf course – modern, fair and full of character

The Ancient Sands Golf Club was designed by Karl Litten, one of the most renowned golf course architects in the Middle East. His design is typical of him: strategic, but not overly difficult. The 18-hole championship course (par 72) demands precise play, but rewards anyone who plays smart.

The fairways are wide enough to give even ambitious amateurs confidence, but the bunker placements and occasionally elevated greens require good course management. Particularly striking is the visual depth – many holes offer panoramic views over the lagoons and the sea, which not only looks beautiful but sometimes also makes distance perception tricky.

A highlight is the signature hole, usually the 9th: slightly elevated, with a sweeping view over El Gouna and a green that is well defended by the wind. Here, a good score can quickly become a challenge – and that’s exactly what makes it fun.

Training & Facilities

For those who want to improve their game, the Ancient Sands Golf Club offers a modern driving range with covered tees, a chipping area and a putting green. The pros on site are internationally trained and offer both individual and group training – ideal for honing your technique or swing during your holiday.

The clubhouse is stylish, bright and modern. After your round, you can sit here with a view over the course or enjoy a drink on the terrace as the sun sets over the Red Sea.

Accommodation & location

Right next to the course is the Ancient Sands Golf Resort, an elegant hotel with suites and apartments – perfect for golfers who love short distances. The golf course is part of the exclusive El Gouna destination, only about 30 minutes from Hurghada Airport. In addition to golf, El Gouna offers everything your heart desires: fine restaurants, a marina, beaches, water sports and a relaxed, safe atmosphere.

Conclusion – ideal for golfers looking for sun and style

The Ancient Sands Golf Club is not just a course you ‘take with you’ – it is an experience. The interplay of design, views and atmosphere makes every round special. For golfers who love sun, wind and sea and value quality, El Gouna with the Ancient Sands Golf Club is a real insider tip.
