Steigenberger Golf Resort El Gouna El Gouna

Steigenberger Golf Resort El Gouna – Golfing between lagoons and desert

Anyone who plays golf in El Gouna quickly realises that this is no ordinary course. The Steigenberger Golf Resort is located on a peninsula between turquoise lagoons, the Red Sea and the mountains in the background – a backdrop that seems almost surreal when you hit your first ball off the tee early in the morning.

The resort is directly connected to the El Gouna Golf Club – you are practically staying in the middle of the course. No shuttle, no long distances: from your room to the cart, hit a few balls on the range and off you go. Just as a golf holiday should be.

The golf course – fair, challenging and spectacularly located

The 18-hole championship course was designed by Gene Bates and Fred Couples and is perfectly integrated into the landscape. Wide fairways meet strategically placed bunkers and waterways that run through the course like small mirrors.

What makes the course special is the combination of tranquillity, wind and water. The wind from the sea can affect every round differently – sometimes it helps, sometimes it drives you crazy. If you want to score well here, you need more than just length: precise irons and clever course management are the key.

The greens run fast and true, and the view from almost every hole is spectacular. Hole 17 in particular, a par 5 with a view over the lagoons, will remain in your memory for a long time.

Training & equipment – everything a golfer needs

For those who want to work on their swing, the club offers a golf academy with experienced pros, a driving range with water tees, and chipping and putting greens that are perfectly maintained. Ideal for warming up in the morning or working on short shots.

The Pro Shop also has everything you might have forgotten or need to replace – from golf gloves to new wedges.

The resort – relaxed, elegant, golfer-friendly

The Steigenberger Golf Resort is a true feel-good hotel with around 260 rooms and suites. The architecture blends Nubian style with modern comfort: high domes, light colours, plenty of space and views of the lagoon, garden or golf course.

After your round, enjoy the large lagoon pool, private beach or Planet Spa with sauna, hammam and massages. If you like, treat yourself to a cool drink at the Green Bar – with a view of the 9th green, of course.

There is something for everyone when it comes to cuisine: the Fairways buffet restaurant, the fine à la carte restaurant La Rotisserie in the clubhouse or the chilled Beach Bar right by the water.

Whether you are a beginner, single-handicapper or golf tourist, El Gouna Golf Club has something for everyone.
