| Description |
Amelkis Golf Club - the most recent golf course in Marrakech
- has a splendid kasbah style clubhouse with a terrace overlooking
the course and the Atlas.
The course has integrated the "khettaras", 11th
century irrigation works built by Almoravides hydraulics experts.
Its fairways are lined with luxurious villas, century old
palm trees, groves of palms and giant papyrus reeds.
The back nine are dominated by water hazards (for ex. the
447 m Par 5 15)
Hole 5 is a difficult Par 4
Hole 18 can be birdied provided you hit a good drive.
It is a tough, subtle course with long Par 3s, large trodden
red earth bunkers and "exotic" rough.
You need to be long & put well to hand in a good card
here.
