A few minutes from the airport and at the foot of the majestic Atlas Mountains, Noria Golf Club is one of the most distinctive courses in Marrakech. Opened in 2014, this 75-hectare estate features an 18-hole, par 73 layout, 6,489 metres long, where a technical game meets architecture deeply inspired by Moroccan culture.
Designed by Steve Forrest, the course stands out for its originality and for a design that places as much value on sporting performance as on immersion in an authentic setting.
The natural hazards, including a 4-hectare lake and no fewer than 85 bunkers, give the game a rare intensity. Every hole calls for strategy, precision and contemplation, in surroundings where the light and the terrain enhance the experience. The clubhouse, inspired by nomadic tents and filled with numerous works of art, continues this cultural immersion, offering visitors a friendly and refined space.
