Assoufid Golf

Guemassa Road

+ de 500 MAD

Nestled in a 222-hectare resort, Assoufid Golf is the first creation of golfer Niall Cameron. He designed an 18-hole course fully integrated with its environment, offering variety and challenge. Its desert style provides a distinct aesthetic and a striking contrast with the snow-capped Atlas Mountains, but also presents some tricky challenges during the game! Also, watch out for the meandering river that attracts your balls throughout the course… The driving zone, putting, and chipping areas will help you practice properly before the game. The highlight: The golf course strives for total harmony with nature. With only 45% of the area planted with cacti and local trees, Assoufid minimizes water use.

Al Maaden Golf

Royal Golf Road

+ de 390 MAD

Set in a 72-hectare landscaped park, Al Maaden Golf offers panoramic views that match the technicality of its course. Kyle Philips designed a highly challenging course featuring elevated tees, rolling fairways, water hazards, numerous bunkers, and varied-height greens, all accentuated by typical vegetation of almond trees, palms, and cypresses. It's a true challenge no matter your level. And of course, the golf course offers practice facilities on grass and mats, including a putting green, approach green, practice bunkers, and a driving range over 300 meters long for big hitters to really unleash. The plus: Electric scooters are available on request to replace traditional carts. Plus, the Club House with views of the Atlas and its Sunday brunch.

Le Fairmont Royal Palm Golf & Country Club

Located on the Amizmiz road, at the heart of Fairmont Royal Palm Marrakech and its 75-hectare estate, the Fairmont Royal Palm Golf Country Club features an 18-hole course designed by Cabell B. Robinson. Across its 6608 meters, this par 72 offers high-quality play, mainly due to its impeccable grass and well-maintained hazards. The incredible beauty of the course and its myriad colors also stand out, with ancient olive trees blending with blooming bougainvillea, hibiscus, and oleander, creating a striking contrast with the Atlas snow seen on distant mountains in winter. The plus: The Country Club and its 1500 square meters dedicated to golfer’s well-being. A sports center, the Sabra restaurant, and the Legend’s bar provide plentiful options for relaxation and recovery after a game.

Samanah Golf Club by Nicklaus

Amizmiz Road

+ de 500 MAD

Designed by Nicklaus Design, the course at Samanah is desert-style. This 6800-meter, par 72 course is dotted with cacti and palm trees but beware of the bunkers, doglegs, and water hazards that promise a few surprises, good and bad, for players. A technical course where strategic play is key to scoring well. For several years, Samanah Country Club has hosted numerous international competitions, and in winter, it’s not uncommon to see professional players training under the mild heat of the ochre city. This year, it will also host the PGA Tour Seniors. The plus: The speed of the greens meets the rigorous standards of international competitions, along with its numerous training zones.
