Madinat Makadi Championship Course

Step into the extraordinary at Madinat Makadi Championship Course — where desert dunes meet the shimmering waters of the Red Sea, and your round becomes a vacation in itself. Designed by John Sandford, this par-72, 18-hole masterpiece stretches to over 7,500 yards from the championship tees and is built to challenge touring professionals while still welcoming everyday golfers. 

Tee off under nearly constant sun, drive across broad fairways flanked by desert waste areas and strategically placed bunkers, and face dramatic elevation changes on the back nine which wind through wadis and hills. The front nine offers ponds, streams and wide terrains, giving way to the more dramatic landscapes of the second half. 

Pause at the eighth tee, gaze across the 137-bunker front nine, feel the breeze off the Red Sea — you’re not just playing golf, you’re immersed in landscape. The venue sits within the luxury resort of Makadi Bay, making it perfect for combining play with relaxation, spa time, beach trips and sunshine.
