Golf Courses and Clubs in Egypt
Alexandria Sporting Golf Club
Built in 1898 and used during the British occupation, the Alexandria Sporting Club is one of the oldest sporting clubs in Egypt. In 1952, it was taken over by the state, converted into a national club (like the El Gezira Club in Zamalek) and was managed by the Chairman of the Club, Mahmoud Hamdy. Today, the golf course stands on 97 feddans, 97 percent of which constitutes the total club area. It is a flat course with tricky bunkers and can be played by beginners as well as experts. The club also features four restaurants, the Club House Restaurant being the most luxurious, and the Happy Land restaurant serving the children’s playground. It also offers party catering.

Gezira Club:
The 111 year old, par 70 golf course, the first in Egypt, was once also its best. Before the Nasser Era, it was an 18 hole course used only by British nationals. In 1906, the club members requested from the government to won the club, but were refused. Instead, they were allowed to lease the club for 60 years. In 1951, it was converted into a public club and 9 of its 18 holes were lost to the youth club. Fortunately, it is still possible to play 18 holes with a bit of maneuvering.

Eighteen Holes Course
Hole 1: (Par 4, 380 yards)
This opening hole places a premium on accuracy and not distance off the tee. OB aligns both sides of the fairways, which slopes to the right at the landing area. The large green is guarded to the front left and back right by bunkers. Making par is a good start!
Hole 2: (Par 4, 325 yards)
This short dogleg plays downwind and is one of the few birdie holes on the front nine. Big hitters can try to drive to the green by cutting the corner over the palms on the left. The undulating tiered green is guarded to the right by cavernous bunker and a steep hill
Hole 3: (Par 3, 170 yards)
This straightforward par three rewards the conservative middle of the green tee shot. Like the second hole, the green is on a hillside, balls missed to the right will catch a deep bunker or roll down the hill
Hole 4: (Par 5, 520 yards)
This dogleg par 5 begins with an elevated tee shot to the fairway below. Second and third shots are straight uphill. The fairway is bordered by waste areas and narrows as it approaches the large green, bunkered to the front right.
Hole 5: (Par 4, 450 yards)
Rated the hardest hole on the course, length off the tee is a premium. A well stuck drive will leave a long iron or even a fairway wood from a downhill lie to a green guarded by four bunkers and a pond to the right
Hole 6: (Par 5, 540 yards)
The toughest par five on the course plays uphill, dead into the wind, has OB down the left, a pond to the right of the tee and waste areas aligning the fairway on both sides. The green is elevated with bunkers to the left, right and back.
Hole 7: (Par 4, 390 yards)
This long dogleg par four has a well situated fairway bunker to the right, demanding a straight tee shot. The large tiered green is guarded by three bunkers and is slightly elevated.
Hole 8: (Par 3, 205 yards)
A long iron or fairway wood is needed to reach a large undulating green, guarded by well placed bunkers. Shots hit long will find the pond.
Hole 9: (Par 4, 410 yards)
The hole doglegs sharply to the left and requires an accurate tee shot. The elevated green is deep and protected by four bunkers.
Hole 10: (Par 4, 365 yards)
This short dogleg generally plays downwind and is the easiest birdie opportunity on this nine. Off an elevated tee, big hitters can try to cut the corner and drive the well bunkered green. The undulating fairway will seldom give you an even lie on approach shots.
Hole 11: (Par 3, 170 yards)
This short par three plays straight uphill to a green, which is guarded three bunkers. Small plateaus are situated in front of the green to stop balls hit short form rolling back down slope.
Hole 12: (Par 5, 560 yards)
This par 5 doglegs to the right, but slopes to the left. Two fairway traps and OB to the right come into play on your second shot. The large green is elevated and guarded by bunkers left and right.
Hole 13: ( Par 4, 360 yards)
This dogleg left is bordered by palms and waste areas down both sides of the fairways. The putting surface is slightly elevated. Bunkers to the back left and right will see a lot of balls, so too will the pond, which eats up, misses long or right.
Hole 14: (Par 4 410 yards)
This difficult hole plays straight uphill, and will require most to be hitting long iron second shots into a green which is elevated and bunkered to the left. Approach shots landing short will trickle back down the slope, making par a difficult score.
Hole 15: (Par 5, 535 yards)
Standing higher than the great pyramids, our signature hole offers a breathtaking view from the elevated tee 40 meters above the landing area below. The fairway doglegs around a pond to the left, and traps come into play on second shots. The green is large and framed by bunkers.
Hole 16: (Par 3, 190 yards)
Playing dead into the prevailing wind from an elevated tee to an elevated green. 16 is the toughest par three on the course. Both distance and accuracy are needed. Miss-hits short will either find one of the two bunkers in the front or trickle back down the hill.
Hole 17: (Par 4, 385 yards)
This par 4 has OB to the right and a large pond to negotiate. Approach shots are hit over water to a large green with bunkers front right and in the back. Miss hits short, long or to the left will be wet.
Hole 18: (Par 4, 415 yards)
Extremely long, straight uphill, a narrow fairway with OB on the right and generally playing straight into the wind, 18 is one of the toughest holes on the course. Even long hitters will be struggling to reach this green in two shots. Regulation pars will be few and far between.
