Al Maaden Golf Course

The Al Maaden Golf Course, designed by the famous American architect Kyle Philips, has already established itself as one of the best golf courses in the Marrakech region despite only opening recently in 2010.  It boasts an invigorating challenge for its players with an assortment of hazards, yet with multiple tee options, all golfers can experience this fabulous course regardless of their skill set.

This par 72 course measures an impressive 6644 metres from the very back tees, which may appear daunting to those of a higher handicap. However, thankfully there are plenty of forward tee positions for the more amateur players. Undulating fairways, strategically placed bunkers and plenty of water hazards will make sure you stay focused and keep you on your toes. The varied terrain of the landscape here also emphasises the challenge the Al Maaden golf course bears.

This Al Maaden course has a distinct Scottish links feel, unusal for a Marrakech golf course, to it which creates interesting play. With rolling fairways and a relatively flat terrain, this course is easily walkable. Golfers are encouraged to bring their A game here with an impressive 104 bunkers strategically placed across the course. This course was designed to create the illusion to players that they are playing on an enlarged Moroccan garden, therefore the 5th, 6th, 12th and 18th holes are routed around several geometric water features.
