Porto Marina Golf Club sits along Egypt's Mediterranean coast near El Alamein in Matrouh Governorate, roughly 100 kilometers west of Alexandria. Designed by Ray Hearn, the course occupies coastal terrain where the desert landscape meets the sea, creating a distinctive setting that blends arid topography with maritime influences. The routing takes advantage of natural elevation changes and the proximity to the Mediterranean, with several holes offering views across the water. The layout reflects Hearn's approach to working within the constraints and opportunities of coastal desert environments, where wind, firm conditions, and strategic bunkering typically define play. The course serves both resort guests and members, functioning as part of a larger development that includes residential components and marina facilities. The Mediterranean climate allows for year-round golf, though summer heat can be intense and winter months generally provide more comfortable playing conditions. Porto Marina represents one of several golf developments along Egypt's northern coast that emerged as the country expanded its tourism and recreational infrastructure beyond traditional Nile Valley and Red Sea destinations. The course caters primarily to Egyptian golfers and visitors to the coastal resort area, offering a golf option in a region where the game remains relatively concentrated compared to more established Mediterranean golf markets.
