Al Maaden Golf Marrakech: Kyle Phillips’ Oasis-Inspired Championship Course
At the foot of the Atlas Mountains, Al Maaden combines a full championship course with the geometry of a Moroccan oasis and a contemporary art landscape. Designed by Kyle Phillips, the 18-hole course occupies a landscaped 72-hectare site a short drive from central Marrakech.
An oasis landscape with a contemporary edge
Al Maaden sits in a broad landscaped setting south-east of the city, with Atlas Mountain views and an identity shaped by both golf and art. The course’s design draws on the idea of a Moroccan oasis while introducing a more modern, open landscape.
The club’s own current course page describes an 18-hole championship layout over 72 hectares and credits Kyle Phillips with the design. It lists a total length of 6,569 metres and Par 73. The FRMG profile, however, still lists Par 72. Because the two official sources differ, golfers should use the current scorecard supplied by the club for the definitive par and tee-by-tee yardage. The resort also highlights its sculpture park, where large-scale artworks are placed around the golf landscape.
A complete training set-up beyond the 18 holes
Al Maaden is notable for the breadth of its practice facilities. The club lists a 300-metre driving range, grass practice area, putting and chipping greens, and practice bunkers.
Warm up with purpose
The practice set-up allows golfers to work on long-game, short-game and bunker play before a round. Use the facilities to calibrate distances and green speed rather than rushing directly to the first tee.
Look beyond the scorecard
The sculpture park adds an artistic layer to the landscape. It gives the course a different atmosphere from a purely resort-oriented design and makes the setting part of the visit.
Where championship golf meets a sculpture landscape
The defining feature of Al Maaden is the way golf, Moroccan landscape references and contemporary art sit together. The course is not simply a set of holes around a resort; the surrounding sculpture park gives the setting a distinct cultural dimension.
Planning a round at Al Maaden Golf
The official course page publishes seasonal green fees and describes the practice facilities. Rates vary by season and service, so check the live page and confirm the chosen tee time, caddie or buggy requirements, and the current scorecard before arrival.
- Use the official booking page for current seasonal rates and availability.
- Confirm whether the round is priced for 9 or 18 holes and which equipment services are required.
- Ask the club for the current scorecard: its website and the federation profile differ on par.
