Madinat Makadi Golf

Madinat Makadi Golf Course is an 18-hole championship layout designed by John Sanford Golf Design.

Set across gently undulating desert terrain, the course features elevated holes with sweeping views across the Red Sea and the surrounding mountains.

The layout is known for its playability, with wide fairways and open approaches making it enjoyable for golfers of all abilities.

At the same time, well-placed bunkers, water hazards and changes in elevation add variety and provide a rewarding challenge throughout the round.

The course has a relaxed resort feel, making it particularly well suited to golf holidays where enjoyable rounds and a good pace of play are just as important as the test itself.

Golfers can also make use of a driving range, putting greens, short game practice areas and a welcoming clubhouse for food and drinks after the round.
