Oued Fès Golf: A Wooded Waterway Course in Morocco’s Imperial City
Within Fez, Oued Fès Golf offers a green corridor shaped by woodland and water. Designed by Scottish architect Jonathan Gaunt, the 18-hole Par 72 course follows a wadi through wooded fairways, lagoons and water features, creating a natural contrast with the dense urban fabric of the imperial city.
A green waterway through the heart of Fez
Madaëf Golfs describes Oued Fès as an environmentally minded course where lakes serve as rainwater reservoirs, eucalyptus trees line the public promenade, and palms and Aleppo pines are distributed across the grounds.
The 18-hole course was designed by Jonathan Gaunt and is listed as Par 72. The operator’s course information gives a length of 6,344 metres, while a later descriptive section on the same official page gives 6,243 metres; Visit Morocco and the federation profile also publish 6,243 metres or omit distance. Because official sources do not agree, this guide does not select one yardage as definitive. The operator lists a 55-hectare site and an opening date of 2012. Fairways follow the wadi and pass between wooded and wet areas, with lagoons and water features arranged alongside the canal.
A natural corridor with academy-level practice facilities
Oued Fès combines water, woodland and open fairway corridors. The design invites strategic positioning around the wadi and lagoons, while the club’s training infrastructure makes it a useful stop for players looking to practise as well as play.
Manage the canal and lagoons
The course follows the wadi, with water features and lagoons on either side. Plan landing areas carefully and consider how the water changes the angle available for the next shot.
Build time for practice
The operator lists a golf academy, a large driving range, approach greens and a putting green. Club and buggy hire are also listed, making it possible to combine a round with a warm-up or focused practice session.
A golf course designed around a living waterway
Oued Fès is notable for how its fairways follow the wadi instead of treating water as an isolated hazard. The wooded promenade, rainwater lakes and lagoons give the site an ecological and visual identity that sits unusually close to the centre of Fez.
Planning a round at Oued Fès Golf
Madaëf Golfs provides an online visitor tee-time system and publishes course information and contact details. Confirm the scorecard and tee-specific length with the club because its official pages show two different course-length figures.
- Use the official visitor booking system to check available tee times.
- Ask the club to confirm the current scorecard and length from your selected tees.
- Check green fees, club and buggy hire, academy sessions and access to the driving range or putting areas.
