Characteristics

Madinat Makadi Golf course is designed to accommodate the highest caliber international Championships. With over seventy-five hundred yards (7,500 yds.) 6880 meter from the Championship tees to the middle of the green the course challenges the best players in the world. The course has also six sets of tees to accommodate all levels of golfers from beginners to touring professionals.

Each hole at Madinat Makadi is strategically designed with risk/rewards shot-making opportunities through the course. The front nine is distinctly different than the back nine, being flatter with a series of ponds and creeks to challenge the golfer, whereas the back nine is routed through the hills and wadis in the desert. The challenge on back nine is due to the natural topography that was utilized in the design. The overall golf experience at Madinat Makadi is designed to challenge the best golfers while allowing the average players and beginners to enjoy their day on the course.
