The Tony Jacklin Marrakech: 27 Holes and a Distinctive Short-Game Course
Named after one of Britain’s most recognisable Ryder Cup figures, The Tony Jacklin Marrakech brings together a championship course and a dedicated nine-hole Par 3 layout. The 70-hectare setting near the Atlas foothills features olive trees, lakes and broad fairways, with a separate academy for golfers who want to work on their game.
A landscaped course at the foot of the Atlas
The course occupies a 70-hectare site in Marrakech, with views towards the Atlas Mountains and a landscape shaped by olive trees, ornamental planting and water features. It is part of the Prestigia Golf portfolio and takes its name from British golfer Tony Jacklin. The operator’s course page describes the design as Jacklin’s work, while the Royal Moroccan Golf Federation credits Stirling & Martin; this guide leaves that difference explicit rather than treating either attribution as settled.
The official operator describes two distinct playing experiences. The main championship course has 18 holes, Par 72 The operator’s page lists 6,550 metres, while Visit Morocco lists 6,175 metres for the 9 + 18-hole offer. As the official figures differ, ask the club for the current scorecard and tee-specific distance. Alongside it is a nine-hole Par 3 course, with holes ranging from 90 to 180 metres. Together they make 27 holes, but the two layouts serve different purposes: the main course is the full test, while the shorter course provides a focused way to work on iron play, distance control and scoring shots.
Championship golf and a dedicated Par 3 test
The combination is one of the venue’s defining features. Players can arrange a full round on the 18-hole championship course, or use the Par 3 loop to sharpen the scoring part of their game.
The championship course
Wide fairways offer room from the tee, while strategically placed bunkers and the green complexes shape the approach challenge. Six teeing options give players a way to adjust the course to their ability.
The Par 3 course and academy
The nine-hole Par 3 layout provides a practical environment for short-iron practice, pitching distance and putting under more realistic course conditions. The Prestigia Golf Academy adds structured coaching and a larger practice area.
A rare nine-hole Par 3 course alongside the championship layout
The Par 3 course is more than an extra nine holes on the scorecard. It gives beginners a manageable first experience and gives experienced players a focused place to rehearse the shots that determine scoring around the green.
