Golf Akenza
Just a few minutes from central Marrakech, Akenza Golf offers a distinctive world that takes players well beyond the usual conventions. Designed by the internationally renowned architect Kyle Phillips, this 18-hole course draws directly on the desert landscapes of Arizona, recreating a setting where canyons, arid areas and dry wadis become the real stars of the game.
Every hole is an adventure in itself, winding between palm trees and landforms sculpted by nature, with striking views of the Atlas Mountains. Here strategy and boldness are essential: the natural hazards demand precision and thought, turning every swing into an intense challenge. The experience is spectacular, both for seasoned golfers looking for performance and for enthusiasts keen to find new sensations in a setting far from the everyday.
The spirit of the desert facing the Atlas
Akenza Golf Marrakech adds to the city’s golf offering with a course unlike any other, where technical play meets the raw beauty of the desert. Accessible yet selective, it tests the toughest players while remaining open to those who want to improve their game in a unique atmosphere.
More than a course, it is total immersion in an extraordinary setting, where the breath of the desert meets the majesty of the Atlas, giving golfers a memorable experience in the heart of Marrakech.

Opened in 2025 on the southern side of Marrakech, Akenza is an 18-hole par 72 stretching to 7,150 yards from the furthest-back tees. Its layout, by Kyle Phillips, draws on the landscapes of Arizona: on eight holes you must carry the ball over natural wadis and rocky canyons. The 18th, a dogleg par 5, runs along water down its entire right side.
The estate, developed by the Moroccan group Alliances Créations, is a quarter of an hour from the city centre, on the extension of Boulevard Mohammed VI.
