Moroccan caddies: a necessary luxury

Please note that caddies are compulsory at all courses. They are in abundant supply and the fee is 100 Dirhams per round (roughly £5 - including tip!).

Royal Marrakech (1923) Architect: H. T. El Glaoui Mezouari 27 holes: 5,888m: par 72
The "Old Course" of Marrakech. Golf has been played here since the 1930's and was a frequent haunt of King Mohammed IV - one of Morocco's keenest golfers. Tightly knit through avenues of palm and fruit trees in a little oasis of calm just outside Marrakech. Level terrain, so easily walked.
A lovely outdoor Clubhouse under the shady palms completes the picture.

La Palmeraie Architect: R. Trent Jones Snr. 18 holes: 6,214m: par 72
Out of town, bordered on one side by the desert and on the other by the expanding La Palmeraie residential plantation.
A modern style course with water featuring on many holes where, in typical Trent Jones fashion, your golf ball's (intended) route must be plotted with some care.

Amelkis Architect: C. Robinson 27 holes: 6,297m: par 72
A superb test of golf by one of the great current course designers. The expanding Amelkis development is a walled enclave just outside the city (and opposite Royal Marrakech G.C.). US in style, there are some visually stunning holes amongst the luxurious Riads that surround the course.
A further 9 holes opened in 2009 with another 9 to follow.
