Amelkis Golf Club is a recent addition to golf in Marrakech – boasting a splendid kasbah-style clubhouse with a terrace overlooking the course and the Atlas mountains.

The course has integrated the "khettaras", 11th century irrigation works built by Almoravides hydraulics experts. Its fairways are lined with luxurious villas, century old palm trees, groves of palms and giant papyrus reeds. The back nine are dominated by water hazards.

It is a tough, subtle course with long Par 3s, large trodden red earth bunkers and "exotic" rough.
