The golf course is truly an incredible sight. It is surrounded by lagoons, residential units and 3 salt water lakes. These are well positioned, as they are interconnected.

The beautiful Makadi Bay golf course itself is breathtaking. It is a par 72, 18 hole championship course covering 1.4 million square meters. There are 6 sets of tees in addition to a 9 hole short course with par 27. It is 7,500 yards in length, one of the longest in the region. 5 of the 18 holes overlook the Red Sea, while 3 others give you a beautiful view of the lakes, so you can gaze upon the clear, blue waters, as you play your round. The 170 foot change in elevation across the course insures great views.

The course can host international championships and is designed and built according to the standards of the United States Golf Association (USGA).

For those who are not familiar with golf but would like to try it, Makadi Bay is the perfect place to learn; There is a golf academy, a 20 acre practice range as well as practice holes.
