PalmGolf Ourika
Designed by the Canadian duo of Neil Haworth and Stéphane Talbot, the course at PalmGolf Ourika is situated to the south of Marrakech, close to the snowy peaks of the Atlas Mountains, and it first opened for public play in the late summer of 2015.
The course measures a mammoth 6,692 metres from the back tees, with holes routed around a 180-acre residential site. Wide, generously proportioned fairways are bounded mainly by large, sandy waste areas, affording the layout a desert ambience – though six lakes also come into play during the round.
Constructed by the Palmeraie Development Group and operated by Troon Golf, this plush new 18-hole operation is the perfect complement to the 27-hole Robert Trent Jones Snr-designed sister venue at Palmeraie on the other side of Marrakech.
The greens were built with Penn A-1 Bent grass and Riviera Bermuda was used for tees and fairways. There are full concrete paths throughout as it’s the first cart-only golf club in Morocco, and each buggy is equipped with a global positioning system to assist golfers with their club selection and strategy.
“We are extremely honoured to welcome this new course to the PalmGolf Morocco family,” said Stéphane Talbot. “It is our goal to create an extraordinary experience for our members and guests by offering them excellent service, facilities and superior playing surfaces."
