The Marrakesh Royale Golf Club

Built in the 20's by the pasha of Marrakesh, the Royal Golf Club is one of the longest-established in Morocco. Constantly renovated and improved, it is also one of His Majesty King Hassan ll's favourite courses. 

With good reason. How magical for a golfer to play on this par 72 course at the feet of the snow-covered Atlas mountains! And what a delight to stride the length of its 6,200 metres where grow such a profusion of cypress, eucalyptus, palm, olive, orange and apricot trees! 

But don't let the extreme beauty of the course put you off your game. Be doubly vigilant at hole number 15. The green is hidden behind two grassy mounds separated by a bunker. Plus an additional hazard: the angles are blocked by high palm trees. 

Once the game is over, seasoned players often remember some of the eminent men who have played on this world-famous course; men like Winston Churchill, David Lloyd George and Ike Eisenhower... 

The Palmeraies Golf Club, Marrakesh

When the international master Robert Trent Jones was presented with a perpetually limpid sky, the celebrated Palmeraic (Palm Grove) at Marrakesh, the majestic Atlas mountains and a horizon dotted with white medinas, he created an 18 hole masterpiece: the Palmeraie Golf Club. 

He designed a spacious valley, its broad form broken by thousands of palm trees and embellished with seven lakes. Numerous sand hazards add the pearly whiteness of the Atlantic beaches to this lush scene, with the ochre walls and green tiles of the magnificent Moorish styled club house forming a striking centre piece to the whole design.
