The Gezira Club has a long, chequered history, and so does golf in the club. On 4th November 1886, 146 Feddans were leased to the Khedival Club (the name was later changed to Gezira in 1914) and the first Sporting Club in Egypt was launched as an equestrian Club with a golf course partly encompassed by the race track, and it was known as the Cairo Golf Club. The golf course in Gezira is one of the oldest in Africa and probably the oldest in the Middle East; and the 9-hole course survived the years and holds a special place in the heart of every Egyptian golfer. This is the course where some golfing notables played namely: Bobby Locke, Gary Player, Peter Alliss, Cary Middlecoff, Angel Miguel, Fred Daly, Christy O’Connor, Ugo Grappasonni & Hassan Hassanein.About the course: 9 holes, Par 70, 5860 yards, rating 68, three tees.
