Royal Golf

Royal Golf, Marrakech is a course steeped in history and utterly unlike anything you’ll find in the UK. Designed by Roland Jimeno and re-worked by Jack Nicklaus II, it’s a genuine oasis carved from a working citrus farm, meaning orange and lemon groves line many fairways – and occasionally demand a strategic shot *over* them. Don’t expect rolling links or manicured parkland; this is a desert course with a distinctly Moroccan flavour. Water comes into play frequently, not as pristine lakes, but as strategically placed canals and oases, adding a beautiful, yet demanding, element to your game. The layout is a fascinating mix of long, challenging holes and tighter, more tactical ones. While generous off the tee in places, accuracy is paramount, particularly on your approach shots. The greens are notoriously fast and undulating, demanding a deft touch and careful reading. Beyond the golf itself, the atmosphere is wonderfully relaxed. Caddies are knowledgeable and friendly, and the scent of orange blossom hangs in the air – a constant reminder you’re a long way from your usual Sunday round. Royal Golf isn’t about brute force; it’s about intelligent golf and embracing the unique environment. It’s a course that will test your skills, reward thoughtful play, and leave you with lasting memories of a truly different golfing experience. Expect a warm welcome, stunning scenery, and a round you won’t soon forget.
