Facilities at the course include a state-of-the-art, clubhouse, golf academy and a floodlit driving range, which sits at the centre of the four million square metre Alegria development. A luxury 100 room five-star boutique hotel and spa completes the bouquet of amenities at the commercial and residential site, which is setting new standards in the ancient city of Cairo.
Ahmed D. Badrawi, SODIC's Business Development Director said:
"We're delighted that Greg Norman has selected SODIC as the partner for Egypt's first signature course. The high standards of design and construction perfectly complements the development at Alegria, the premier real estate project in the Egyptian Republic."
SODIC's Alegria development comprises modern residential and commercial facilities set within acres of parkland. Situated just 15 minutes from the centre of Cairo, the Greg Norman course will provide a stunning backdrop for the villas and townhouses flanking it.
Having spent 331 weeks of his three-decade professional career as the world's No. 1 ranked player, Norman has competed on many of the greatest golf courses in the world. He utilizes this vast experience in each design, with the goal of creating tournament-quality courses that maintain an enjoyable sense of playability for all skill levels.
Continued Badrawi: "A unique aspect of the course and master plan, which is being designed by the internationally renowned EDAW office in New York, is that it will be set within stunning parkland. At SODIC we aim to attract a new class of intelligent and discerning home buyer as well as investors and brand name operators."
