THE SWING Rugged mountains, large desert tracts and the lengthy coastlines of the Atlantic Ocean, plus the Straits of Gibraltar and the majestic Mediterranean Sea, are what characterise the Kingdom of Morocco. So, it comes as no wonder that one of its major cities, Marrakech is home to golf courses that don’t just make for a picturesque play but also a challenging one. Marrakech has rapidly become the new golfer’s destination and with 300-plus days of sunshine annually, why not? We present the top five golf courses in Marrakech that offer golf enthusiasts a good run for their money. THE ROYAL GOLF OF MARRAKECH Inaugurated in 1927, The Royal Golf of Marrakech is one of the most ancient golf courses of the Kingdom and is a frequent haunt of King Mohammad IV, one of Morocco’s keenest golfers. It is situated at the feet of the snow-covered Atlas Mountains. Level terrain provides for an easy walk through the 100-yearold vegetation, comprising more than 15,000 trees such as eucalyptus, palm trees, olive trees and orange trees. While each hole remains an unforgettable experience, its most famous is nicknamed Brigitte Bardot because of its beautiful shape. The Royal Golf Of Marrakech is a unique course made of a historical 18-hole “ Old Course” (par 72 of 5,937 metres) inaugurated in 1933 and a 9-hole “ Menara” (par 36 of 3,072 metres) opened in 2008, which was designed by French European Senior Tour player Gerry Watine. The original 18 is an “English style” course with strategically placed bunkers protecting its greens and tall testing trees and palms whilst the Menara features only lakes. A veritable Garden of Eden, the Royal Golf of Marrakech has been attracting players from all over the world for 80 years. Winston Churchill, David Lloyd George and Ike Eisenhower have enjoyed playing here. PALMGOLF MARRAKECH-OURIKA This 18-hole golf course is the newest and by far the toughest course in Marrakech. It combines performance and pleasure with stunning views of the Atlas Mountains’ snowy peaks and is surrounded by olive and palm trees. Managed by Troon Golf, PalmGolf offers fantastic practice facilities as well as exemplary service on a course designed by Canadians Neil Haworth and Stephane Talbot, who conducted extensive research on the best varieties of grass to use. The course is riddled with many holes that have long carries over extensive waste areas; adding to the challenge are narrow fairways running around deep lakes. It extends over 6,692 metres and is Par-72. This course is the first ‘buggy only’ course in Morocco, and each cart has a modern GPS system which helps golfers on their club selection and strategy as well as offers the ability to monitor speed of play for all. Full concrete paths were built throughout the course offering all-year round play. The course is well maintained, with somewhat dry fairways and six lakes to add variation to its desert concept. There are a lot of holes that make good use of the water element. The signature hole is the Par-3 17th, which is an elevated island green surrounded by a sea of sand which adds to the difficulty factor.
