Royal Marrakech Golf Club

Opened in 1923, Royal Marrakech was subsequently reworked by Open Champion Arnaud Massy in 1933, and is a real gem. The course design has a distinct British accent, yet its surroundings are far removed from home shores; banks of cypress, eucalyptus, palm, olive, orange and apricot trees ensure that your round will be enjoyed in the most spectacular environment.

The tall trees are supported by a procession of strategically positioned bunkers, ensuring that the fair but challenging test is assured. Easily reached from the hub of the city centre, Royal Marrakech comes highly recommended for as part of any golf escape to sunny Morocco.

Famous names to have enjoyed Royal Marrakech include Winston Churchill, Ike Eisenhower and David Lloyd George.

Tips for visiting Royal Marrakech Golf Club

Jonathan Mooney

Handicap: 2
Visited: June

Royal Marrakech is as the name suggests fits for a King. Tree lined fairways make up the majority of holes with manicured greens and newly renovated bunkers offering a fine defence. The signature 9th hole on the old course named after "Brigitte Bardot" requires you to thread a laser teeshot through the mounds, over the bunker and round the tree to find the playing surface.

Truly an unbelievable, unique and picturesque hole unlike any other I have come across. The relaxed setting of the grounds without a whisper of residential development leaves you feeling miles away from frantic Red City. A must visit on any trip here and the perfect opener to what this wonderful region has to offer.

It would have been better if we could have played 18 holes on the "Old Course", but the back 9 was closed. We, therefore played 9 on the new course and 9 on the old. Overall good condition and would like to play full 18 on the OLD Course

We couldn't fault the condition or speed of the greens, and in general the course was in better condition than when I played it in 2018. My group felt a lot of the holes were similar to play and the service in the clubhouse was slow, which is my reason for a 3* rating overall.

This is a very different course from the others with lots of trees bordering the fairways. It is one of the older and more established courses with a local membership. The new clubhouse Is very impressive and provides a very nice atmosphere. The course is not long and was very busy when we played. One of the three nines was closed so everyone played the old course. The tees were even more forward than normal making a lot of wedges into par 4s.

We had to play 9 holes of the New course as the front 9 of the Old was under maintenance. We didn't know this prior to the trip otherwise we would have played elsewhere as the New is not a great 9 holes. The staff were not friendly and the caddies were extremely poor. Very disappointed as this is the one of the oldest courses in Morocco and we expected better.

From the outset the course looked stunning but as we progressed through the round all the holes were very much the same and not very challenging . The landscape was tree lined fairways straight up and down , not very exciting .The clubhouse was old colonial style and was excellent . The big annoying problem on all 3 courses we played was holliday makers with caddies coaching at every hole .

A fascinating experience to return to a course I played some twenty five years ago when Marrakesh only had this one track. Twenty five years ago it was in brilliant condition. Clearly with much more competition the course has suffered. However, there was clear evidence that the management are doing all they can to bring this course up to an acceptable standard, having spent a large amount of money upgrading the off course facilities. We found the course tight but fair! Not easy for long and wayward drivers! Similar to many of our parkland courses in Kent, and very different to any other Marrakesh courses. Easy walking course compared to most others. We would love to play the "Old Course 18 holes" again another year! Not sure about the "new nine" we didn't play though, which we viewed from a distance and seemingly presented like most other Marrakesh courses.

Was not able to tee off at 1st Tee at allotted times due to large groups gathered at the 1st and 10th on New Course and !st on Old Course on first occasion the only on the 4th of the Old Course on second occasion. Both occasions there were about twenty golfers gathered on each of the 1st and 10TH tee boxes of both courses.

A little disappointed. This is the oldest course in Marrakech and it can be seen by poor tee boxes (currently being replaced) and a few tired looking fairways. The course plays like a mature parkland in England which makes it a test with its tree lined fairways.

We were allocated to play the front nine on the new course and back nine on the old - as it transpired, we also played the front nine of the old. The new course was definitely more interesting and in better condition, the old rather boring up and down alley ways of trees around 350 - 390 yards long. They had heavily watered it and the greens were marked. Not one to play if you have alternatives, we didn't have time to visit the bar area which did look smart.

We particularly wanted to play this course again this year as it the closest you will get to a traditional English golf course being over 90 years old. The course was generally in good condition but maybe too much water had ben used around the greens meaning that the said areas were a bit wet underfoot.

We had been looking forward to playing this course which by reputation is the best and oldest in Marrakesh. However, whilst OK, the staff were not as helpful as we were used to and the whole place felt tired and in need of some updating. Worst clubhouse and changing facilities (felt like a public park). Looked as though there was a much plusher clubhouse for members situated on the other side of the course. Signs were poor and many of the holes felt the same. Greens were true but quite pitted with repaired pitch marks due to their wetness. Disappointing!

As all courses played we had early tee times which we found beneficial so as to avoid the heat of the day. At this time of year we found the course quiet and hence under no pressure from other players. We were not matched up with others and in buggy the round took us 3.5 hours only.it was like millionaires golf! Lovely tree lined ,established course. Drinks at bar expensive.

The golf course consisted of 3 x 9 hole courses blue was a great track both visually and very well set out and quite challenging all our group really enjoyed it! Green was ok but a lot of the holes felt and looked the same but did require a straight drive as all holes are tree lined with bunkers in the right places to keep you on your toes! Red was closed so I can't comment on that!! We played royal Marrakech twice and enjoyed both times!! We had a choice of buggies or caddies the buggies are around £37 and caddies are £13 paid to the caddy although most give £20 because they are so much help and would 100% recommend! The 19th hole was rather expensive we brought 4 beers which cost around £30 but they were cold and needed after 18 holes in 35 degree heat!!
