At 7,184 yards and par 73, Al Maaden Golf gives the driver plenty to think about before the approach game takes over. Kyle Phillips has shaped the 18 holes across 72 hectares of rolling ground, drawing on the open, firm visual character of links golf while setting it within a distinctly Moroccan landscape. Fairways move through palms, cypresses and almond trees, with 104 bunkers placed to influence both line and length. The rectangular water features are a defining sight, modelled on the pools of Marrakech’s Menara gardens, and the Atlas summits often sit beyond the course. There are 12 monumental sculptures around the layout too, adding an unexpected sense of scale as the round progresses. Generous landing areas make it a sensible choice for groups with different handicaps, but the smooth greens, water and well positioned sand mean a casual swing is rarely enough.
Back at the clubhouse, La Table d’Al Maaden serves Mediterranean à la carte lunches from noon until 4pm, apart from Sundays, when the format changes to a buffet brunch with sushi, paella cooked to order, tapas, tagines, wok dishes, grilled food and house made desserts. The bar remains open until 8pm, giving the day an easy finish after a round played under the Marrakech sun.
