The Resort

As soon as you set eyes on the grand entrance to the Sofitel Marrakech Lounge & Spa, you know this is no ordinary hotel. Framed by tall, swaying palms, this oasis of calm and tranquility sits amid the vibrancy of Morocco's magical city, Marrakech. Designed in a contemporary Andalusian style and situated in lush, verdant gardens, this is one of the country's very finest hotels, and a superb base for a golfing break now that this city has five world class 18-hole championship courses to choose from.

Close by you can find fashionable luxury boutiques, casinos, nightclubs and restaurants. The hotel is also a short walk from Marrakech's famous Jema El Fna square and the walls of the historic Medina.

Golf

Marrakech has become the main golfing hub of Morocco with 5 championship-standard 18 hole courses.

Royal Marrakech

The oldest golf course in Morocco and constantly upgraded over the years by King Hassan II, it looks and feels very mature and is a pleasure for all ability levels to play.

Amelkis

Designed by the renowned American architect Cabell Robinson, this is an open course which has a superb layout enhanced by some strategic bunkering and water hazards.

Palmeraie

A true championship standard course designed by Robert Trent Jones, this is not a course for the beginner but all keen golfers will be well rewarded by good shotmaking.

Samanah

A superb desert-style course with fairways lined by palms and cacti that was designed by Jack Nicklaus no less.

Al Maaden

Another championship course and another signature designer in Kyle Phillips - and the result is another course that you'd be mad to miss out on during a golf trip to Marrackech.
