Pickalbatros Golf Club

Situated less than 20 minutes North of central Marrakech within the Pickalbatros Golf Club is a 27 hole championship golfing destination which was put together by famed designer Robert Trent Jones Sr. As one of the world’s top golf course architects Trent Jones Sr has constructed many masterpieces including Ryder Cup venues Valderrama Golf Club and Hazeltine National Golf Club.

As Marrakech’s 2nd oldest golf course, Pickalbatros Golf Club has welcomed golfers since 1992. The course has become a popular destination as part of a Morocco golf holiday with golfers enjoying the excellent onsite accommodation and the challenge offered by this great resort golf course.

The incredible palm grove that frames the golf course dates back to the 11th century and was created by the soldiers of Almoravid Sultan Youssef ben Tachfine who returned from the Sahara with dates that made a 45-square mile palm grove that we can enjoy today.

Please note that a Golf Buggy or Caddy is compulsory for playing on the course.

Pickalbatros Golf Club

Measuring 6,835 yards against it’s par of 72, Pickalbatros Golf Club is a course that requires guile rather than distance that is the key to playing to your handicap here. It is popular with a range of players with many couples enjoying rounds here courtesy of it’s design.

Those who are playing Golfers can expect all of the hallmarks of Morocco golf course design with lush fairways framed by the Atlas Mountains as well as mature trees that provide a unique golfing experience.

The original 18 holes at Pickalbatros Golf Club were put together by Robert Trent Jones Sr, these nines (holes 1-9 - Jbilettes, 10-18 - Atlas) were added to in 2008 with a further nine holes (19-27 - Tensift) that were designed by Stephane Talbot who also contributed to the layout that is enjoyed just South of Marrakech at PalmGolf Marrakech Ourika. The newer nine are considered to be slightly more forgiving and perfect for anyone seeking a more leisurely golfing experience.

The fairways weren’t in great condition but there was lots of wildlife and we all enjoyed playing it. It’s been rebranded and looks like they will make improvements

Joined other golfers on the course and all had a good time around the course. Greens are on small side, lots of birds on water features. Free range balls on arrival before tee-time - you can hit as many as you like - groundstaff keep re-filling (other countries around the globe take note) Unfortunately no alcohol licence on 19th hole

This course is scattered with pine trees and large dark sand bunkers, very much a "desert" feel. In places you get a glimpse of the snow capped Atlas mountains. As a high handicapper I enjoyed this course.

Disappointing first nine holes were satisfactory but they have changed two holes on the back nine which is not an improvement and the course is scruffy. Will not go back again.

Nice course - quite wide fairways so forgiving but still challenging. You need a buggy or to pay cash to a caddie - you cannot hire a trolley without a caddie. We struggled to get cash out as the resort cash machines were all faulty so had to buggy every day. Considering there are so many caddies around the bunkers are not raked and there are lots of pitch marks on the greens. However we had a great time and really enjoyed the course.

Lovely course with good greens and a good mixture of holes. Plenty of exotic trees lined the fairways to make it interesting. A little scruffy off the the greens and fairways but nothing to stop me going back

It is not possible to hire a trolley - one has to hire a caddie instead (and he brings his own trolley. This limits one to carrying, or to hiring a buggy, if a caddie is not a personal preference. Tee times are not strictly adhered to, and caddies tend to press forward at a speed which is somewhat faster than might be preferred on holiday and which puts pressure on their "clients" and those in front.

We played three course while here and this was a good course with a fair test playing off the back tees. The greens were fast and true and the fairway lovely to play off of. The only let down was the clay bunkers which were poor and hard to play out of. In the whole good course and would play it again.

One of the original three courses in Marrakech and still one of the best. Very friendly staff and a nice holiday type course. Whilst there is water on the course it is sensibly placed and is acceptable. A good golfing experience enhanced by friendly staff who remembered us from previous years

First round took well under 4 hours, 2nd round just over. Course was an excellent holiday golf course, interesting but not brutal.
