The Cascades is Soma Bay's Golf and Country Club which provides a sporting and social focal point for the peninsula's community, centering on one of Egypt's most stunning desert links-style golf courses.
The Gary Player designed course is the first in many ways in Egypt. Not only is it the first golf course open for play on the Western Red Sea coast, it is the first Championship Course in the Middle East designed by one of the "Big Three" (Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer). The 18 hole, par 72 course offers memorable views of the lush green fairways that contrast dramatically with the rugged desert and the clear blue sea waters.
At the inaugural tournament, Gary Player described the course as "the next Pebble Beach." In his book Gary Player’s Top Golf Courses of the World, his personal selection of 55 of the most memorable golf courses around the globe, The Cascades Championship Course was referred to as "the Red Sea Treasure." The Cascades was recently ranked among the Top 5 golf courses in the world by the readers of "Golf Journal."
Adjacent to the Championship course, is the 9 hole, Par 3 Challenge Course, also designed by Gary Player, that offers both the beginner and the more advanced golfer the opportunity to practice a variety of shots with emphasis on the short game. The Par 3 Challenge Course serves the Golf Academy where individual and group tuition by PGA Golf Professionals is available. There are also extensive practice facilities, including a 60 bay driving range, and several putting and pitching practice greens.
The Cascades Club House located at the golf resort, La Résidence des Cascades, that sits at the center of the Championship Course, includes extensive changing room facilities with showers, golf lockers available for rent by the day or week, a wide range of golf merchandise at the Pro Shop as well as essential rentals; golf clubs, trolleys & electric carts. A free shuttle bus service is available from all the hotels at Soma Bay to The Cascades.

Egypt ; Arabic: مصر, Miṣr or Máṣr) is a country mainly in North Africa, with the Sinai Peninsula forming a land bridge in Western Asia. Covering an area of about 1,010,000 square kilometers (390,000 sq mi), Egypt borders the Mediterranean Sea to the north, the Gaza Strip and Israel to the northeast, the Red Sea to the east, Sudan to the south and Libya to the west.
Egypt is one of the most populous countries in Africa and the Middle East. The great majority of its estimated 82 million live near the banks of the Nile River, in an area of about 40,000 square kilometers (15,000 sq mi), where the only arable agricultural land is found. The large areas of the Sahara Desert are sparsely inhabited. About half of Egypt's residents live in urban areas, with the majority spread across the densely-populated centres of greater Cairo, Alexandria and other major cities in the Nile Delta.
Egypt is famous for its ancient civilization and some of the world's most famous monuments, including the Giza pyramid complex and its Great Sphinx. The southern city of Luxor contains numerous ancient artifacts, such as the Karnak Temple and the Valley of the Kings. Egypt is widely regarded as an important political and cultural nation of the Middle East.
