Royal Palm Golf & Country Club

Royal Palm Golf & Country Club sits within the private estate of the Royal Palm Marrakech, a development of luxury villas and a five-star hotel south of the city. The 18-hole championship layout was designed around the shapes and tones of a generous nature, and the planting makes that intention visible: bougainvillea, laurel roses, and hibiscus shrubs line the fairways, their colours shifting through the seasons against the silver tones of centuries-old olive trees. Eleven lakes are integrated throughout, creating water hazards that demand careful club selection on multiple holes. The course spans 75 hectares and extends to 7,200 yards from the back tees with a par of 72. Significant earthworks shaped what was originally flat terrain into a layout of rolling fairways and varied elevation, giving the round a quality that reads more like a private park than a competition track. The approach to water conservation here is a point of distinction: the course was conceived with close attention to irrigation efficiency and local vegetation, among Morocco's more considered golf developments. The Atlas Mountains form the backdrop to the southern end of the course, their snow-capped peaks visible from multiple fairways in the cooler months. The country club extends beyond the 18th green: a fitness room, yoga centre, and pool complete a facility calibrated for extended stays within the estate. For residents and visiting golfers alike, Royal Palm Golf offers a round insulated from the city, its manicured grounds pressing gently back against the surrounding palm groves.
