One of Morocco's most storied golfing venues, Royal Golf Marrakech first opened in 1927 and was redesigned into its present form in 1933 by Gustave Golias and the great Arnaud Massy, the first Frenchman to win The Open Championship. The par-72 Old Course is set on flat, easily walkable terrain amid tree-lined fairways and lush botanical gardens, many of the century-old trees having been planted by Golias himself, all played out against wonderful views of the snow-capped Atlas Mountains. A 9-hole New Course, designed by Gert Watine and Thierry Sprecher, was added in 2008, bringing the club to 27 holes in total.
Royal Golf Marrakech's history reads like a who's who of the twentieth century, having welcomed the likes of Winston Churchill, David Lloyd George and President Eisenhower, and it remained a favourite retreat of the late King Hassan II, who is said to have named the signature par-3 15th, "Brigitte Bardot," himself. Though relatively short by modern standards, the course demands genuine accuracy from tee to green thanks to its narrow, tightly tree-lined fairways. With such deep royal and sporting heritage combined with its beautiful setting, a round at Royal Golf Marrakech offers golfers a rare taste of living history alongside a thoroughly enjoyable game.
