Green Fees in Sharm El Sheikh: What It Costs to Play in 2026
Sharm El Sheikh is a one course town, and the course is a genuine oddity: a par 72 championship layout grassed in Bermuda, fed by 18 artificial lakes, wedged between the Sinai desert and the Red Sea. In 2026 the round costs about 85 to 100 euros at the Jolie Ville Golf and Resort, less for hotel guests. Here is exactly what to budget, and when the trip makes sense.

How Sharm pricing works
Everything runs through one operator. The 18 hole championship course at the Jolie Ville Golf and Resort in Naama Bay, designed by the American firm Sanford Golf Design and open since the late 1990s, passed to the Pickalbatros group in January 2025, and the green fee follows the standard Egyptian resort model: a public visitor rate of roughly 85 to 100 euros for 18 holes, a discount for guests of the attached hotels, and a 9 hole rate around 65 euros. Carts, clubs and range balls price separately but modestly, and tee sheets only really tighten in the European winter sun window.
The structural point for trip planners: Sharm is not a golf destination with a beach, it is a world class diving and beach destination with one good course attached. That changes the math. You are not comparing Sharm against the Algarve's thirty courses; you are asking whether three relaxed rounds on a well watered, lake guarded parkland in the desert improve a Red Sea week. They usually do, at a total golf cost under 300 euros.

Where the value hides
Make golf the morning, the reef the afternoon
The winning Sharm formula is a dawn tee time, lunch at the clubhouse, and Ras Mohammed or the Tiran straits in the afternoon, the best value golf and dive combination anywhere on this coast. Staying at the resort attached to the course earns the guest rate and walks you to the first tee; all inclusive packages here are aggressive, and our recommended Sharm stays cover the options. The broader country context, Cairo's historic clubs included, lives in our Egypt destination guide.
Know when to choose Hurghada instead
If the trip is golf first, fly to the other shore. The Hurghada corridor, with El Gouna's Fred Couples designed eighteen, Soma Bay's Gary Player course at the Cascades and Madinat Makadi, gives a week of variety Sharm cannot, at similar nightly costs; we cost that side of the Red Sea on the Egypt golf holidays page. Sharm wins when one excellent course is enough and the diving, the flight price or the family resort scene is doing the heavy lifting. Winter sun comparison shoppers should also read our Marrakesh fee guide and the best courses in Egypt ranking before booking.

Sharm El Sheikh green fee questions
How much does golf cost in Sharm El Sheikh?
Budget about 85 to 100 euros for 18 holes at the Jolie Ville championship course, the resort's only full size layout, with guests of the attached hotels paying toward the bottom of that range and around 65 euros for 9 holes. Carts and clubs are extra and modest by resort standards. Rates are indicative for 2026 and move with season and operator; always confirm directly before booking.
How many golf courses does Sharm El Sheikh have?
One that matters: the 18 hole, par 72 championship course at the Jolie Ville Golf and Resort in Naama Bay, designed by Sanford Golf Design and open since the late 1990s, now run by the Pickalbatros group. That makes Sharm a one course destination, ideal for a diving or beach holiday with serious golf attached rather than a multi course buddies week. For volume, Egypt's Red Sea golf cluster around Hurghada, El Gouna and Soma Bay is the better fit.
When is the best time to play golf in Sharm El Sheikh?
October to April, when days sit in the 70s and 80s with almost guaranteed sunshine; this is also peak demand from European winter sun traffic, so book tee times ahead. Summer rounds are playable but brutal, regularly above 100 Fahrenheit, so take the earliest slot, ride a cart and drink constantly. The course is grassed with Bermuda and irrigated against 18 artificial lakes, so conditioning holds up year round.
Is Sharm El Sheikh good value for a golf holiday?
As a golf add on, yes. The green fee is mid pack for a resort course, but Sharm's flight network, all inclusive hotel pricing and the Red Sea's best diving make the whole trip cheap relative to European winter sun rivals. A golfer pairing three rounds with a week of reef diving spends far less than the equivalent week in the Canaries. Pure golf trips get more course variety per dollar around Hurghada or in Marrakesh.
