Welcome to Golf Luxor

Golf in Egypt is different today, and much better than it used to be. There was a time when tourists would have a difficult time finding a suitable golf course in Egypt. Those days are quickly becoming extinct as more and more golf courses are being constructed all across Egypt. Egypt is quickly being dressed with golf courses thanks to the construction of many suburban residential sectors.
Cairo, Egypt is the home of the Gezira Club which is the oldest golf clubs in all of Egypt. This one hundred and eleven year old golf course is the first in Egypt and at one time was also the best in Egypt. This par seventy course was around before the Nasser Era. During this time, the eighteen hole course was only used by British nationals.

Clubs members attempted to win the club from the government in 1906 but were refused. The members were however allowed to lease the club for sixty years. The Gezira Club was transformed into a public club in 1951. The club lost nine of its holes which became part of the youth club. Those who are tricky and sneaky enough can still play the full eighteen holes.
