PalmGolf Marrakech Ourika

Since opening in 2015, PalmGolf Marrakech Ourika has quickly become a recognised layout in Morocco achieving a ranking of 8th by Top 100 Golf Courses for Morocco, quite a feat considering the many fantastic courses that it has to offer.

Designed by the Canadian pairing of Neil Haworth and Stephane Talbot, PalmGolf Marrakech Ourika is a course that has utilised the natural flora to create a fantastic golfing experience. Golfers can enjoy fairways lined by Olive, Palm and Cypress trees as well as numerous water hazards ensuring that those keeping it on the straight and narrow are the ones sure to play to their handicap.

Whilst the course can be extended to over 7,300 yards, most golfers won’t opt for the Black Tees but enjoy a more manageable test off the Yellow Tees at 6,542 yards. Many will look to the par-3 17th hole as one of the best on the course with it’s island green surrounded by contrasting sand but it will be holes like the par-5 7th, par-4 9th and par-5 18th that will shape your score with approaches and greens guarded closed by water with any shot straying offline sure to be punished.

As one of the best golf in the sun destinations, Marrakech is quickly becoming a must visit golfing destination with many heading here to take advantage of the superb winter sun on offer. Whilst PalmGolf Marrakech Ourika is one of the newer courses on offer in this region it is sure to be a popular choice with anyone seeking a playable layout that will challenge and reward during the course of your round.

Tips for visiting PalmGolf Marrakech Ourika

A great course, with a very interesting layout. It is not your average golf course with many signature square greens, it is a challenging but scoreable course, that is very rewarding.

A great modern clubhouse with a rooftop terrace nearing completion, great for a post-match pint while watching the remainder of your group avoid the water on a tricky 18th hole. The course is definitely worth a visit on your next Marrakech golf trip.

Another extremely slow round 2.5 hours for 8 holes, we then tried to dodge around the group in front but had to miss out holes, then got stuck behind another very slow group. Again no course marshalls, affected overall experience. The course itself is quite a tricky course, but the course is a little unkempt, lacking TLC.

Joined other golfer on the course and had a good time around the course with his caddie helping to find my balls! Greens are fast and true, lots of massive bunkers. Works taking place on apartment builds around the course. Free range balls on arrival before tee-time - you can hit as many as you like - groundstaff keep re-filling (other countries around the globe take note)

Great course to finish our trip. Fantastic staff. Couldn't do enough for you. Great course, but long. Definitely our favorite club. We made the decision to play midday for all 5 rounds which meant we played millionaire golf. Virtually no one else playing that time due to the heat, which was hot, but 4 hour rounds each day made it enjoyable.

The course remains a must play when in Marrakech. Probably the best greens that we played on. The design is superb with some challenging tee shots across sandy wastes when deciding how much of the line/distance to chew off. It’s a great course if you can drive well. Some fiddly second shots to some tight pin positions and decent par 5’s especially 10th and 18th. The Clubhouse is small but functional.

The course has a lot of 'brown' areas and consistencies of these 'browns' differed from one to another. A difficult for someone playing for the first time on this course and there was long carries to avoid the 'browns'.

We really enjoyed our round. Didn’t realize we would be required to either take cart or have a caddie. We took both and really enjoyed our caddie (Mohamed). He was very helpful on all aspects. Players ahead were slow and Marshall was called who got them moving. Food and wine at clubhouse was very good. Will definitely play there again next time we are back.

Wow another great course . There was a lot of landscaped hard sand areas on the fairways which caused problems if you couldn't drive 180 metres. This is not a criticism because they enhanced each fairway and added a degree of difficulty but once again the grass areas were fantastic . The greens were located in awkward positions at times and were of a more common speed . There was also a large reservoir which came into play on 3 or 4 of the holes . A good challenging course that I would love to play again .We did have thunder and lightning which caused all the British golfers to retire to the club house but most of the Europeans kept playing with their caddies .

Enjoyed the course. Spoilt by slow play and numbers on the course. Again due to large parties not able to get off on 1st tee box but moved to the 10th. Caddie Master did try to help but had to cope with shear large party numbers. First round very slow - five and a quarter hours (four ball). Second round four hours(three ball). The problem seemed to stem from two of the players walked each with a caddie.

Should note that we played off the whites (handicaps of 8). There are some significant carries off the tee and long irons required into table-top greens which make this course a challenge. Only negative is that you have to take a buggy or a caddy rather than being able to walk it yourself.

Again this was the 3rd year in a row that we had played Palm Golf Marrakesh Ourika and it is a question as to whether this is even better than our favourite, Assoufid. There are some very challenging holes some with fairly long carries to reach fairways. It is a risk & reward course needing some serious course management decisions.
