Golf Courses In Marrakech
Admittedly, there aren’t many golf courses to choose from. Today I’ve gathered up and reviewed all the best ones I can find in Marrakech. Some of these are world class golf courses and the weather is great. I guess you can go ahead and get your clubs ready!
1. Royal Golf Marrakech

⌚Hours: 8 AM–6 PM
⭐Rating: 4.6 out of 5
Established almost a century ago, this prestigious golf destination is renowned for stunning views and much more. The course on Royal Golf Marrakech has wide fairways and large greens, and it was also recently renovated to enhance playability.
The historic “Old Course” now has a “New Course” added, totalling a 27-hole championship layout. There’s a clubhouse with a refined atmosphere and the facilities on site are excellent. It’s a mere 15 km from the center of Marrakesh, just a short drive away.
2. Fairmont Royal Palm Golf & Country Club
📍Location: Km 12 Route D’Amizmiz, Marrakech 40000
⌚Hours: 7 AM–7 PM
⭐Rating: 4.0 out of 5
When looking for Marrakesh country club rentals, everyone I know suggests Fairmont Royal. The course was designed by a renowned architect (Cabell B. Robinson). It’s a challenging layout that spans 18 holes, with natural water hazards. Even better, there are strategically placed bunkers on the course.
I thoroughly enjoyed playing the meticulously maintained course. The lush fairways and fast greens made for an exceptional game.
3. Assoufid Golf Club

⌚Hours: 7:30 AM–6:55 PM

The course is praised for its excellent condition, with fast greens and well-maintained fairways that enhance the overall playing experience.
There are many undulating fairways, water hazards, and plenty of obstacles that add challenge to the game. I got the chance to visit the clubhouse as well, which provides a wide range of high-class amenities.
4. Golf Club Rotana Palmeraie

I love the Palmeraie area. So when I got invited to play golf at a luxurious resort in Palmeraie, I didn’t hesitate. Designed to cater to golfers of all levels, this 18-hole layout was a dream.
Although the site is pretty much flat, the strategically weaving fairways add a difficulty. I will say that there aren’t many bunkers here, but that makes the game slightly easier.
The resort also features other luxury facilities such as an indoor swimming pool and spa services. I recommend this club for a weekend getaway with your golf pals.
