Image: The courses of Morocco are extremely high standard
While in many ways one of the most traditional cities in Morocco, Fez doesn’t lag behind when it comes to golf. With two courses, one run by the prestigious Braemar Golf and the other by the equally esteemed Troon Company, this ancient city is an excellent destination for anyone looking to swing the clubs on their holiday.
The Fez Royal Golf Club has been around since 1994, and it has recently been the subject of a major renovation and making it once again fit for a king. It’s a taxing course: huge bunkers and sloping terrain lie in wait to raise your score, but it’s a fun eighteen holes nonetheless.
The modern Oued Fez Golf Course is in the north of the city by the river. A relaxing oasis, golfers will enjoy the views of the Atlas mountains and the wild birds in the water features as they play.
