From a DP World Tour host in Rabat to the five star resort courses of Marrakech, ranked with our verdicts and what each delivers for a company event.
01
Rabat · Robert Trent Jones Sr, 1971 · DP World Tour host
The most prestigious golf in Morocco and the obvious flagship for a corporate day. The Red Course, a Robert Trent Jones Senior design from 1971, plays through a magnificent cork oak forest in the capital and hosts the Hassan II Trophy on the DP World Tour. A long, stately par 73 with the history, the conditioning and the clubhouse to make a company event feel grand. A short transfer from Rabat's hotels, and the round the group will talk about.
02
Marrakech · Cabell Robinson · five star resort
The luxury Marrakech choice, a Cabell Robinson course set within a Fairmont resort against the backdrop of the snow capped Atlas Mountains, with the hotel, spa, dining and meeting space all on site. An immaculate, generous layout that flatters a mixed ability group, wrapped in the kind of five star hospitality a high end incentive or client day calls for. The on property hotel turns a single day into an effortless overnight stay.
03
Marrakech · Cabell Robinson · twenty seven holes
A long established Marrakech favorite and a regular tournament venue, twenty seven Cabell Robinson holes among olive groves and villas a short drive from the city, with Atlas views from many tees. The three nine hole loops flex to a group's size and ability, and the club is well used to hosting events. A reliable, well conditioned and centrally located pick that makes the logistics of a corporate day simple.
04
Marrakech · Niall Cameron, 2014 · desert layout
The most modern and dramatic round near Marrakech, a Niall Cameron desert design opened in 2014 that uses the natural dunes and arid landscape with uninterrupted views of the Atlas Mountains and not a building in sight. Stylish, peaceful and a genuine design talking point, it gives a corporate day a contemporary, exclusive feel. The standout when the brief is a memorable, photogenic course away from the resort crowds.
05
Marrakech · Kyle Phillips · design led resort
A Kyle Phillips design on the edge of Marrakech, known for its lakes, contemporary art dotted around the property and big, strategic greens against the Atlas backdrop. The work of the architect behind Kingsbarns brings real pedigree, and the resort setting supplies the clubhouse and hospitality a group needs. A smart, design led venue that plays well for company days of mixed standards and looks the part for the photographs.
06
El Jadida · Gary Player · beach resort, conference
The choice for a large conference led event, a Gary Player links style course on the Atlantic coast at El Jadida, around ninety minutes from Casablanca, within a vast beach resort with a hotel, casino, spa and convention facilities. The seaside setting cools the summer heat that bothers the inland courses, and everything the group needs is on one property. When the trip is built around meetings and a big field, Mazagan handles it with room to spare.
07
Marrakech · Nicklaus Design · resort, country club
A Nicklaus Design course at a private country club and resort on the road out of Marrakech toward the Atlas, with a relaxed, exclusive members' club feel and the mountains filling the horizon. Spacious, well kept and quieter than the city courses, it suits a corporate group that wants a calm, polished day with privacy. A refined alternative when the brief favors exclusivity and space over a tournament name.
