Somabay Golf Secures International Sustainability Certificate

Somabay Golf celebrates new sustainability achievements, becoming the first certified sustainable golf course in Egypt.

Following a successful 2024, Somabay Golf is thrilled to announce the awarding of the GEO International Sustainability Certificate for its golf course, making it the first in Egypt and one of only four in Africa to achieve this title. This recognition reflects Somabay’s dedication to sustainability and its commitment to being a premier sports destination.

The GEO Certified® status underscores the values of environmental responsibility, community engagement, and natural enrichment—principles that Somabay Golf upholds. The course has implemented indigenous, water-saving plants, and was recently relaid using Paspalum Platinum grass, which significantly decreases water usage.

In addition to sustainability, Somabay has partnered with Le Club Golf, securing its place as their exclusive Egyptian partner and hosting the Amateur World Cup Finals from 2025 to 2027. This collaboration highlights Somabay as an attractive destination for luxury golf tourism, featuring top-tier facilities and hospitality throughout the events.

Somabay Golf Course, designed by the renowned Gary Player, includes a floodlit Par 3 Challenge Course and a Short Game Arena designed by James Edwards and Tim Lobb, along with a double-ended driving range.

With its continued focus on eco-friendly practices and premier golfing events, Somabay Golf is poised to enhance its reputation on the global stage.
