Al Maaden Golf Resort Marrakech

The results are spectacular, as Phillips has used his undeniable gift to manipulate the varied terrain, in so creating a course that assimilates perfectly with its surrounding environment. The indigenous foliage punctuates the landscape, where Phillips course is a measured challenge that can be enjoyed by golfers of all abilities.

Unlike the great architects other projects, notably Kingsbarns, Al Maaden has not been created with the aim of becoming an international tournament venue. Rather, it is a gem that is sure to be enjoyed by generations of golfers for years to come.

Excellent

Bearing in mind that I'm a beginner, I found this one harder as there was more desert. There was a tournament on too and we were asked to hurry along which I thought was a tad unfair as we had group of two ladies using different tees to the chaps and the group of two following had a buggy, whereas we were walking. We had a glass of hot mint tea half way round and there were looes that were very welcome. First class course and the infinity pools on the terrace were stunning. Staff were a bit off when we declined food though

We paired with a local couple who were members and they were very welcoming. The course was suffering from the lack of rain here this year, (in comparison to the better watered other courses we played) but was still very worthwhile visiting. Lovely clubhouse and interesting artworks dotted about the course.

Did not disappoint second time too. Long well maintained course with fast greens. Excellent Club house with a superb 19th hole with dining along infinity pools. Outstanding customer relations from the Club manager and rest of the staff. Will play again

nice course to play, a good length off the yellow tees (about 6,500 yards) and it was quite open and with a fair amount of water. Holes are different and challenging (but not overly so). Course felt quite new and not completely finished in parts. Course and greens were in good condition. Caddy was very helpful and friendly.

The holes with water are a challenge. The course is long off the white tees which we used. It is relatively flat but there is lots of interest and many good holes. It was in good condition.

The greens were not cut and you could tell that maintenance work had been carried out. Not knowing where the water hazards were made this course quite challenging. Use of GPS buggys would help.

A fairly flat modern layout, with the occasional water tanks acting as obstacles as well as for irrigation. Some may like the idea of driving around on a mini Harley Davidson with a golf bag holder on the back - yes, it's true but we didn't try them.

Firstly the club house here is the most luxurious fantastic club house you will ever come across. The staff were friendly and the views of the Atlas Mountains were breathtaking. The course it’s self was testing and again we played off the back tees. The fairways were decent and the greens were good if not a little slow. I would play this course again if I returned but it was well beaten into second place by Royal Palm (fairmont) which was one of the best courses I have played in the world....outstanding!!!

This was our 2nd fav course it was in great condition and a pleasure to play visually great with plenty of water and bunkers and the rough was fairly forgiving the fairways were well presented and the greens straight and true!! There was some confusion from our party as to where the next hole was at times as there didn't seem to be any numbers on the tees but we were enjoying the course so much it didn't really bother us!! We didn't use the practice facilities but I'm sure they were fine!! The 19th hole was well presented with a particularly nice patio area but as wit the other courses the drinks were expensive at £30 for 4 beers!!
