GOLF ALARAB · DESTINATION PROFILE / MOROCCO
27 holes. Two courses. One Marrakech original.
Almost a century of golf history meets a garden landscape at Royal Golf Marrakech. Explore its landmark Old Course, the nine-hole New Course and the official route to booking your visit.
A garden course with a story to tell
Royal Golf Marrakech is one of Morocco’s landmark golf destinations. The Old Course began in 1927 and grew from an opening four-hole layout into an 18-hole course. Today, the club brings together two distinct routes through its established gardens: a traditional championship-length round and a shorter nine-hole alternative.
The property’s mature planting is part of its identity. The club highlights century-old tree species and a landscape that gives the course its distinctive garden character. This is not simply a place to fit in a round; it is a historic part of Marrakech’s sporting landscape.
Two courses, two ways to play
THE ORIGINAL · OPENED 1927
The Old Course
18 holes · Par 72 · 5,871 metres
The Old Course is the club’s historic centrepiece. The first four holes opened in 1927. In 1928, Gustave Golias completed the first nine and laid out the next nine; Golias and Arnaud Massy remodelled the course in 1933. Its signature-hole entry identifies holes 3 and 9 with the celebrated “Brigitte Bardot” name, associated by the club with a par-three hole.
THE NINE-HOLE ROUTE · OPENED 2008
The New Course
9 holes · Par 36 · 3,072 metres
Opened in May 2008, the New Course extends the club with a different nine-hole challenge. The layout works with the existing vegetation and incorporates water features, creating a more technical character. Its signature hole is listed as the seventh. It is the natural option to explore when a shorter format suits your day, subject to the club’s available tee times.
