"The Red Sea Coast is fast becoming a golfing paradise. Ancient
Sands Golf Resort will offer a world class 18-hole, par 72 Karl
Litten designed championship golf course adding to the already
established Red Sea golfing circuit.
A lush oasis in the midst
of the development carefully balances the desert landscape with
the verdant greens and fairways. It will be a very enjoyable
resort course that will appeal to all standards of golfer.
Owners at Ancient Sands Golf Resort will secure a special
membership package when they purchase as well as being entitled
to discounts on green fees at the existing El Gouna 18-hole
USPGA course.
Two loops of nine holes are focused around the Golf Club
Estate House. The course will follow the terrain of the site
with the lagoon creating a natural boundary.
Karl Litten considers Ancient Sands Golf Course to be a truly
unique opportunity to bind the development together and create a
perfect balance between the aesthetic qualities of the course,
the open space, lagoons and the exclusivity of the community
itself. “The golf course at Ancient Sands Golf Resort will be a
challenging but forgiving course leaving a lasting memory every
time it is played. The dual fairways design will enhance both
the golf and living experience thereby creating added value to
the residential product.”
Golf courses traditionally require much water to ensure that
they look green and lush. With 80% of its land mass as desert,
water is a precious commodity in Egypt. The grass at Ancient
Sands Golf Resort will primarily be Paspalum, a salt water
tolerant grass irrigated with sea water enabling the course to
be maintained in an environmentally sustainable way. Presently
at El Gouna, recycled water is utilised for irrigation of the
golf course and greenery throughout the town."
