Samanah

This beautiful course is situated around eight miles from Marrakech airport near the foothills of the Atlas Mountains. Like many Marrakech courses, it is a visual treat with the Atlas Mountains framing fairways lined by indigenous trees such as olive and palm as well as cactus.

This is not only one of the most spectacular courses  in Morocco it's also one of the very best. The 18 hole layout is both challenging and fun with typical Nicklaus risk-reward shots - often combined with water hazards - cropping up all through the round and wide rolling fairways leading to huge well protected greens. The course was also built to USGA standards, which ensures a consistent high standard of conditioning all year round,

Samanah has installed a modern watering system which uses minimal water by measuring the exact amount required by the vegetation, while a special variety of grass has been used here that is suitable for the Moroccan climate, needing less water and making it an ecologically sound resort.

Want to improve your game? The complex also includes a nine-hole practice putt area and David Leadbetter golf academy.

The clubhouse is a lovely place to retire to after your round, and lives up to the grandeur of the course with architecture inspired by the city walls of Marrakech. The interior features fountains, beautiful Moroccan mosaics and wood carvings and boasts an impressive  bar, restaurant, bridge lounge, pro-shop and well-equipped changing rooms for men and women. There's also a large terrace overlooking the sweeping fairways and distant snow capped mountains.

We had a great day and as every Nicklaus course I've ever played this was the easiest but still challenging, thinking your way round is the name of the game. Yes all surfaces were in good condition, I should imagine in the summer in dry condition its a tad harder, we played in March and had a few storms. This will be a top resort in years to come. An American style layout with houses lining the course.

Lovely course. Great facilities. The range was included in the price and the staff were superb cleaning out clubs after the range session and the round. Very nice set up. Greens were good but slower than Akenza. Lovely couple house and views of the mountains were stunning.

Another course where the investment has gone into the clubhouse and surrounds including the villas and pools.Again really poor presentation of a good design and again terrible greens.Very patchy with different grasses evident. If Jack Nicklaus were to visit today he would withdraw his name from this course. Terrible experience.
