Tucked into the foothills of the Atlas Mountains, Fairmont Royal Palm Golf & Country Club sits across 75 hectares of natural landscape just outside Marrakech. The 18-hole course is next to the six-star Fairmont Royal Palm Marrakech Hotel, making it one of the stronger all-round golf-and-resort options in Morocco, particularly if you want everything on one site.
Out on the course, you'll play in full view of the mountains and, when the breeze gets up, it can feel a bit more demanding than the scorecard suggests. There are a few holes where water is a factor, and you'll generally score best by keeping it in play from the tee and leaving yourself sensible angles into the greens. Conditioning is typically very good, with smooth greens and fairways that tend to run in the warmer months.
The clubhouse opened in 2017 and brings a modern, relaxed feel without losing any of the polish you'd expect from Fairmont. You've got Sabra restaurant and Legends' Bar for post-round food and drinks, excellent locker rooms and a well-stocked pro shop. There's also a semi-Olympic pool and an exercise and yoga room, plus the hotel's spa and leisure facilities right next door.
Include Fairmont Royal Palm in your next Marrakech golf break if you want a high-end, all-in-one setup without feeling miles from the city. Play it as part of a Marrakech golf holiday and we can sort tee times and the stay next door at the Fairmont.
