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
18 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 amd 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.

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
18 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 18 holes are currently under construction.
