Golf in Madinat Makadi Bay

In Madinat Makadi the golf course lies in the middle of the hotels and several of them border the holes directly. From there you look out on the Red Sea or on the mountains behind it.

The academy has two driving ranges, an area of its own for the short game and teaching areas for groups of up to 20 people. That makes the facility well equipped for a training trip with a golf pro.

Mirco’s tip

If you are staying in Soma Bay, Madinat Makadi lies around 30 minutes away by car. That way you can play two different desert courses in one week.
