Samanah
This beautiful course is situated around eight miles from Marrakech airport near the foothills of the Atlas Mountains. Like many Marrakech courses, it is a visual treat with the Atlas Mountains framing fairways lined by indigenous trees such as olive and palm as well as cactus.
This is not only one of the most spectacular courses in Morocco it's also one of the very best. The 18 hole layout is both challenging and fun with typical Nicklaus risk-reward shots - often combined with water hazards - cropping up all through the round and wide rolling fairways leading to huge well protected greens. The course was also built to USGA standards, which ensures a consistent high standard of conditioning all year round,
Samanah has installed a modern watering system which uses minimal water by measuring the exact amount required by the vegetation, while a special variety of grass has been used here that is suitable for the Moroccan climate, needing less water and making it an ecologically sound resort.
Want to improve your game? The complex also includes a nine-hole practice putt area and David Leadbetter golf academy.
The clubhouse is a lovely place to retire to after your round, and lives up to the grandeur of the course with architecture inspired by the city walls of Marrakech. The interior features fountains, beautiful Moroccan mosaics and wood carvings and boasts an impressive bar, restaurant, bridge lounge, pro-shop and well-equipped changing rooms for men and women. There's also a large terrace overlooking the sweeping fairways and distant snow capped mountains.

Would have got a better rating except for the dirty conditions and mechanical state of the buggies. Whilst they changed the cart that had obvious steering problems, the staff hadn't checked it out and both our carts were dirty. The staff didn't seem to bother about it, which was sad because the course was in excellent condition and worth a return if things are managed better.

I'm a beginner and never played 18 holes, we were paired with a French chap who was patient. I played so well and am extremely pleased with myself at have got a par and some bogies on a Masters' course. It was breathtaking. The "rough" was a deep, green velvet lawn and the greens were running at a good pace

Greens were in great condition. The presentation of the whole course was excellent. Our round was slow because the couple we played with brought along their child who played most holes with us.

We had a great game here. We used a golf cart, but our Belgian playing partners had caddies who also helped us with course direction advice and green reading. The course was in immaculate condition and was a great test on ones chipping and putting especially.

Best of the lot. Lots of bunkers and dandy areas with water where the golfer least expects it The whole course was in immaculate condition, thanks to the recently concluded European Senior Tours. Will play again

Very nice course with stunning views of the mountains. From when you drive up it all looks very special. Good practice area, nice bar and golf shop. The course is really special with lush fairways and challenging greens. There are some long par 4s which make it difficult but that should not deter anyone playing this course.
