Golf Club Rotana
In the magnificent Palmeraie of Marrakech, Pickalbatros Golf Club, formerly Rotana Golf, is a must for golf lovers. This estate, a true haven of greenery, covers 60 hectares and offers a layout that combines technical challenge and natural beauty. The rolling fairways, dotted with seven sparkling lakes, create a spectacular setting where every shot is played facing the snow-capped peaks of the Atlas.
The art of the game in the heart of the Palmeraie
The original 9-hole, par 36 course, designed by Stéphane Talbot, paved the way for a refined golfing experience. Today the club offers an 18-hole, par 72 course of nearly 6,214 metres, designed by the undisputed master of golf course architecture, Robert Trent Jones Sr.
This championship layout, known for its balance and flow, is among the most beautiful in Marrakech. It appeals both to amateurs looking for enjoyment and to experienced players keen to take on a challenge worthy of their ability.
Beyond the course, Pickalbatros Golf Club stands out for the range of its facilities. Outdoor and indoor driving ranges, coaching workshops, a pro shop, caddies and modern equipment ensure golfers are well looked after. Buggies and trolleys, manual or electric, make getting round easy, while the resort’s warm welcome and the option to stay on site extend the experience in a friendly atmosphere. Even four-legged companions are welcome, a sign of the open, welcoming spirit of the place.
Playing at Pickalbatros Golf Club Marrakech means an immersion where a technical layout meets grand scenery, an experience that brings together sport, relaxation and refinement in the heart of the Palmeraie. Every round becomes a journey, shaped by the light of Marrakech and the majesty of the Atlas Mountains.
