Mövenpick  Jolie Ville Golf Resort Sharm El Sheikh

Architect: Arthur Davis

 

The course is a parkland, of Floridien style which claims precision and tenacity: water is present on 14 holes, in particular the n°12, one by 4 of 406 m.
2 desert zones lead to a hazardous green, protected by a lake which is very attracting for the soft or vague balls.

18 Holes, Par 72,  6585 Yards, 5 Tees, 74 rating

 

 

 

Hole # 1
Par 4, 370 meters, Hcp 2
The preferred approach favors the left side on this down hill dogleg. Often into the wind, club up for extra distance.

Hole # 2
Par 3, 186 meters, Hcp 14
Attacking any left side pin position will require a masterful shot. The left side approach to this green has a cross wind and right side severe down slope. The most beautiful view of the course and mountains is from the mound behind the green.

Hole # 3
Par 4, 364 meters, Hcp 4
"A hole with length and distinction". Tee shot must avoid trap to the left. Of course best shot is middle, then middle.

Hole # 4
Par 5, 518 meters, Hcp 16
Long and into the wind. Length is rewarded here but beware of the waste bunker guarding across the approach.

Hole # 5
Par 4, 302 meters, Hcp 10
Avoiding the strategically positioned desert area left, is key to good scoring. The fairway's right side opens the green for a lofted club.

Hole # 6
Par 5, 473 meters, Hcp 12
Confidence on your second shot is paramount to wether you can "cut the corner" and go to the green in two. Lake guards the entire right side off from the tee to the green.

Hole # 7
Par 3, 139 meters, Hcp 18
A beautiful Par 3 guarded by deep pot bunker. A high soft and short iron is rewarded by this narrow, backsloping green. Green runs down away from tee.

Hole # 8
Par 4, 335 meters, Hcp 6
A strong tee shot takes the lakes out of play. Spectacular mounding around the green defines the hole's strategy.

Hole # 9
Par 4, 330 meters, Hcp 8
A bold tees hot over the cross-bunkers shortens the hole. Left side is deceptive as the fairway slopes to the lake. Stay right, then right.

Hole # 10
Par 5, 526 meters, Hcp 5
High bunker mounding on the left of the tee, right edge opens fairway for second long wood. Not reachable on a windy day. Play for placement to this long uphill green.

Hole # 11
Par 3, 171 meters, Hcp 7
Club selection is crucial as short shots missed find difficult recoveries from the front bunker.

Hole # 12
Par 4, 405 meters, Hcp 1
405 meters with water influencing the approach shot. Egypt's finest Par 4. A par here is as good as a birdie anywhere else!

Hole # 13
Par 5, 477 meters, Hcp 17
Slight dogleg right. Protected off the tee by water. Left side, then left side again could be your birdie opportunity.

Hole # 14
Par 3, 184 meters, Hcp 9
Wind and water can be a significant influence on this long Par 3, left green is safe.

Hole # 15
Par 4, 325 meters, Hcp 11
Aggressive tee shot brings good scoring opportunity. Stay left to take the water out of play.

Hole # 16
Par 4, 304 meters, Hcp 15
Heroic drive here makes eagle possible. Beware! A long drive can take you through the fairway, to the water beyond.

Hole # 17
Par 3, 173 meters, Hcp 13
A draw from the tee is ideal to avoid out of bounds right and the "right to left wind".

Hole # 18
Par 5, 438 meters, Hcp 3
Water to the left strongly influences this finishing hole. Right side bunker shortens and make the water protected green a superb challenge. "Last chance for romance". Go for the green in two and be rewarded.
