A significant feature of the La Noria course is the stunning ‘’basin’’ which divides the front and back nine, and stretches back to the clubhouse. The landscape here at the La Noria is widely considered to be unique due to the authentic blend of an orchard, lavender field and desert landscape. These landscapes characterise the holes of the course, and create a fantastically varied round. Furthermore, other authentic Moroccan features include reflective pools, and bell towers. Laden with beautiful and intriguing holes, the par 3 8th features a unique square water hazard in homage to the reflective pools of a traditional Moroccan village.
With the rapid growth of golf tourism in Morocco, each and every course must have something to make it stand out, and include an original and innovative landscape. This is exactly the thought Steve Forrest had in mind when designing this course, and it is fair to say that he most definitely succeeded in creating a truly unique experience in a beautiful setting. A challenging course requiring planning and accuracy, La Noria features 85 strategically placed bunkers and many unique holes you are sure not to forget.
