Fairmont Royal Palm Golf Club
With the splendour of the Atlas Mountains towering in the background and snowy peaks standing out like beacons, the 18-hole golf course provides an amazing sensory experience in a very unique setting. The Wadi river ands the whole natural environment has been tastefully incorporated in to the design.
The course itself is a true test, laid out by one of the modern greats Cabell Robinson.
Samanah Golf
Designed by Nicklaus Design, the Samanah Golf Course is an international championship course, the aim of probably the greatest player ever was to require the player to use their intelligence and tactics rather than simple pure power. I think he succeeded.
Assoufid Golf Club
Set against the backdrop of the snow-capped Atlas Mountains, Assoufid Golf Club’s 18-hole, par-72 golf course winds its way through a unique, naturally undulating desert landscape.
The course is set on a UNESCO World Heritage site.
The desert-style golf course feels extremely natural and uses the landscape to produce course of beauty with the Atlas Mountains to the south.
