Royal Palm Golf Club & Country Club

In the south of Marrakech, Royal Palm Golf Club & Country Club offers an 18‑hole, par‑72 course inaugurated in 2014 and designed by Cabell B. Robinson. The course sits within a low‑density residential setting, with a layout that prioritizes smooth play and reading the terrain over raw power.

From the opening tee shot, there is a clear sense of balance. The fairways provide enough room to swing with confidence, but they don’t give away anything for free. The position of the tee shot determines the approach angles into the greens, which are usually well defended and demand precision rather than strength.

This is a course that invites you to think through every shot without rushing. Robinson’s signature is evident in the variety of holes and in the way he alternates attacking moments with more restrained ones. There are no repetitive sequences. Each loop maintains interest through subtle changes in the direction of play and how the hazards are presented. The average player will find the course fair; the expert player will discover enough nuances to attempt more ambitious lines.

Maintenance accompanies the design, with uniform playing surfaces and greens that reward good reading. The overall feel is calming, something uncommon in urban golf destinations, allowing players to enjoy their round without external distractions. Royal Palm does not seek to impress with exaggerated gestures. Its strength lies in the layout’s coherence and a solid offering, designed to bring players back. It’s a course that fits well into the Marrakech scene and relies on golf as the main focus of a peaceful life around the course.
