Samanah Golf Club
Just a few minutes from the vibrant Red City, Samanah Golf Club is a leading name in golf in Morocco and well beyond. The first African course to host an event on the PGA Tour Champions (the Morocco Champions, 2020), it stands for excellence and international recognition.
Designed by Nicklaus Design, a firm with more than 400 courses around the world, the estate offers golfers a venue where sporting rigour meets beautiful scenery.
The 18-hole, par 72 course, 6,655 metres long, meets the USGA’s most demanding standards. Selective without being punishing, it suits beginners and experienced players alike, striking a subtle balance between accessibility and technical challenge. More than 100 hectares are given over to play, in surroundings where every fairway opens onto sweeping views of the Atlas Mountains. The light, the contours and the calm of the site give each round a rare intensity, turning the game into a real experience for the senses.
Sporting elegance on the doorstep of Marrakech
Samanah Country Club, which covers 300 hectares, is about more than the course. Its clubhouse, inspired by the ramparts of Marrakech and covering nearly 2,000 m², welcomes players in a refined atmosphere. A bar, restaurant, TV lounge, bridge room, high-end changing rooms, pro shop and caddie master create a setting where comfort and good company combine to extend the enjoyment of the game.
The Mulligan Restaurant, open every day, adds a culinary dimension to the experience, letting visitors enjoy a relaxing moment with majestic views.
Named best golf course designer in 2017 at the World Golf Awards, Nicklaus Design has given Marrakech a gem that combines prestige, technical challenge and refinement.
Samanah Golf Club is not just a championship course but a complete destination where sport, the good life and exceptional scenery come together to offer golfers a memorable experience.
