New Championship Course

New Championship Course

Somabay is expanding its golf offerings with the introduction of the Reef Course, a brand-new 18-hole golf course designed by renowned architect Tim Lobb of Lobb & Partners. The course is set to enhance Somabay’s reputation as a world-class golf destination, catering to all levels of golfers—from beginners and families to experienced professionals.

Course Concept & Design Philosophy

  • Designed for all golfers – A family-friendly course with minimal rough & bunkers, utilizing the natural contours of the land to create a fun yet challenging experience.
  • Sustainable Turfgrass – The course will be grassed with Pure Dynasty (Paspalum sp.), ensuring durability, sustainability, and playability in Somabay’s climate.
  • Strategic Landscaping – Instead of rough, ornamental grasslands will be integrated along fairways and course boundaries.
  • Unparalleled Views:
  • Holes 12-17 offer breathtaking, unobstructed views of the Red Sea. Holes 1-11 showcase scenic bayside and desert mountain landscapes.

With construction well underway we intent to have:

  • 9 holes grassed and playing Q1 2026.
  • 18 holes grassed and playing end of 2026, beginning of 2027.
