Amelkis Golf Club

Design – Cabbell B Robinson

 

Amelkis Golf Club is the more  established golf courses in Marrakech and boasts a splendid kasbah style clubhouse with a terrace overlooking the course and the Atlas Mountains.

The architect Cabell Robinson wanted to give players a difficult and very technical course. He has succeeded with a spectacular offering; hilly, bumpy, with mounds, blind departures, hazards at each hole, a sublime path strewn with pitfalls and huge bunkers defending each green.

The course has integrated the "khettaras", 11th century irrigation works built by Almoravides hydraulics experts.
The wide, undulating fairways are lined with luxurious villas, century old palm trees, groves of palms and giant papyrus reeds. Amelkis is a tough course with long Par 3s, large trodden red earth bunkers and "exotic" rough. The back 9 are dominated by water hazards but cheer up – the 18^th can be birdied if you hit a good drive!

A practice green is available as well as club and buggy hire. A caddy is not required at this course.
