Opened in 1923 by the Pasha of Marrakesh,
transformed into a paradise in 1933 by Arnaud
Massy, 1907 British Open champion, Bouchaib
Stitou, 1940 course recordholder and Gustave Golias.
The Marrakech Royal Golf Club is the oldest golf
club in Morocco, it is constantly being renovated
and improved. It is situated at the feet of the
snow-covered Atlas mountains and is embellished by
a profusion of cypress, eucalyptus, palm, olive,
orange and apricot trees.
It is an "English style" course with strategically
placed bunkers protecting its greens and testing
tall trees and palms. Winston Churchill, David
Lloyd George and Ike Eisenhower have enjoyed
playing here.
