Fairmont Royal Palm Golf & Country Club

Designed by Cabell B Robinson, the man responsible for many of Continental Europe’s best layouts, Fairmont Golf & Country Club offers preferred access to resort guests and is one of Morocco’s top ranked courses.

Extending to over 7,200 yards from the back tees, Fairmont Golf & Country Club can certainly offer a stiff test even to the best golfers, and with Bermuda fairways and tees, as well as A4 bent grass greens, the course stands out from the pack in terms of conditioning, making a round on Fairmont Golf & Country Club most enjoyable.

While more than three quarters of a million square metres of earth was moved during construction, the course appears very natural to the naked eye, blending seamlessly into the landscape which is awash with colour. A huge variety of shrubs, flowers and trees bloom at different times of the year all over the course, and with holes routed around 5 large lakes, it is one of the country’s most picturesque layouts.

Wide fairways allow for some margin for error from the tee which allows a great range of golfers to enjoy the course. Stray too far from the fairway though and you’ll find your way into great swathes of sand in the form of waste bunkers. Speaking of bunkers, this is one of the most eye catching features of the course and with countless years of experience, Robinson has the traps well placed, forcing the golfer to carefully consider their shot selection throughout the course.
