The Montgomerie Marrakech: Championship Golf in the Red City
Set close to the centre of Marrakech, The Montgomerie brings a championship-style layout into the heart of the Red City. Designed by Colin Montgomerie with European Golf Design, the 18-hole course looks towards both the Atlas Mountains and the Koutoubia skyline, placing a distinctly Marrakchi panorama alongside a serious test of golf.
A city course with a view of the Atlas
The Royal Moroccan Golf Federation places The Montgomerie just minutes from the main hotels and Jemaa el-Fnaa. Its 75-hectare site gives the course room to combine broad playing corridors with water features and framed views across the city.
The panorama is part of the course’s identity. On clear days, the Atlas Mountains form a dramatic backdrop, while the Koutoubia minaret anchors the view towards the old city. The course is listed as 18 holes and Par 71, with a published length of 6,207 metres in the national tourism directory. The architectural brief is credited to European Golf Design and Colin Montgomerie, the eight-time European Tour Order of Merit winner.
Strategic choices across a championship layout
The FRMG highlights the varied green architecture, structured playing areas and alternative pin positions. That combination creates scope for different angles and approaches rather than a single repeated style of hole.
Use angles, not just distance
The variety of green shapes and flag positions makes placement important. A good tee shot should leave a sensible angle into the green, not simply the shortest distance.
Read the full hole
The course’s water features and structured playing areas encourage a plan from tee to green. Choose a conservative line when the next shot would otherwise be compromised.
Golf framed by two unmistakable landmarks
Few courses place the Atlas range and the Koutoubia so clearly within the same golfing panorama. It is this connection to Marrakech—rather than a generic resort setting—that gives The Montgomerie its distinctive sense of place.
