Royal Golf Marrakech (New)

Royal Golf Marrakech (New) is a 9-hole extension of the historic Royal Golf de Marrakech, inaugurated in May 2008 under the name Parcours Ménara. The layout was designed by two French designers: Gery Watine, a golf professional born in Morocco, and Thierry Sprecher, an architect with an extensive portfolio of courses in France. Playing to a par of 36 over 3,072 metres, the course was designed to complement the existing layout rather than compete with it. The routing makes full use of the mature vegetation already on site and incorporates water features, resulting in a more technical and longer challenge than the original course. The overall character remains in keeping with the atmosphere that has long defined Royal Golf de Marrakech.
