Royal Golf Benslimane: 27 Holes Across Two Distinct Parkland Courses
Between Rabat and Casablanca, Royal Golf Benslimane is presented by the Royal Moroccan Golf Federation as a 27-hole golf destination in a lush countryside setting known for its microclimate. The complex combines two layouts: a nine-hole Par 36 course by David Cohen and an 18-hole Par 72 course designed by Robert Von Hagge.
A parkland oasis between Rabat and Casablanca
The federation describes Royal Golf Benslimane as a green countryside setting around 30 minutes from the road corridor between Rabat and Casablanca, with a microclimate that gives the property a different feel from the nearby coastal and urban courses.
The site contains 27 holes in two separate layouts. The FRMG lists a nine-hole course designed by David Cohen with Par 36, and a separate 18-hole course designed by Robert Von Hagge with Par 72. The tourism brochure describes the first nine as containing several water-focused holes and singles out the eighth hole of the 18-hole course, where a Par 3 green sits on an island among papyrus. It also mentions the course’s snail emblem and a wooded final hole. One published detail differs: the older Visit Morocco brochure lists the 18-hole layout at Par 71 and 6,846 metres, whereas the current federation profile lists Par 72 and does not publish a length. This guide uses the current FRMG par listing and recommends confirming the scorecard before play.
A nine-hole course and a full 18-hole design
The 27-hole format should not be mistaken for three interchangeable nine-hole loops. The federation lists a distinct nine-hole Par 36 course and a separate 18-hole Par 72 course, each with a different architect and playing character.
The David Cohen nine
The nine-hole course is listed at Par 36. It gives players a shorter round option within the broader Benslimane property and offers a different way to experience the wooded and water-oriented environment.
The Robert Von Hagge eighteen
The 18-hole layout is listed by the FRMG at Par 72. The tourism brochure highlights an island green at the eighth hole and describes a wooded finish, details that can make the closing section memorable.
Two designers and two course formats within one 27-hole property
Royal Golf Benslimane is unusual because its 27 holes are divided between a separate nine-hole course and a full 18-hole layout. Knowing which course is included in the booking is essential when checking par, length, green fees and tee-time availability.
Planning a round at Royal Golf Benslimane
The federation publishes the course layouts and a club telephone number, but a direct visitor booking engine and current public tariff were not verified for this draft. Contact the club before travelling and specify whether you want the nine-hole or 18-hole course.
- Ask which layout is currently open and available for visitors: the nine-hole or 18-hole course.
- Request the relevant scorecard and confirm the current par and tee-specific distance; older sources differ on the 18-hole par.
- Confirm visitor fees, tee times, buggy and club hire, caddie arrangements and practice access.
