MOROCCO —a land fabled and full of magic!
On the northwest brink of the African continent is a land of intrigue. Your mind conjures up images of bazaars filled with treasures and a babble of tongues, veiled belly dancers, and mosaic mosques. You’ll wonder at cities with scenes straight out of “Tales of the Arabian Nights”. A once-in-a-lifetime adventure, this is Morocco, ancient and timeless.
MAGICAL MOROCCO
(7 Nights)
Day 1 — Arrive in Casablanca. Just an hour’ s drive along the coast you will come to Rabat, the cosmopolitan, capital city of Morocco. Rabat is a city of trees, flowers, sweeping esplanades, parks, gardens, AND a golf complex of 45 holes you will have difficulty in bettering anywhere in the world!
Day 2 — Play your first round of golf on the Royal Dar Es Salam GC, with its Red, Blue and Green Courses, designed by Robert Trent Jones. He was asked to design a course fit for a king — Hassan II of Morocco — and he certainly came up with the goods!
Day 3 — A round on the Royal Mohammedia GC, one of the finest in Morocco. It overlooks the harbor, located between the river and ocean, it is well established and fairly level. Trees line the fairway near the palm-fringed clubhouse, contrasting with the links-type holes farther out on the course. It is a delight for all golfers. After golf make the short drive south to the coastal resort town of El Jadida.
Day 4 — Today one of the newest links courses in Morocco — El Jadida GC. Designed by Cabell Robinson this course will not only challenge but surround you with stunning natural beauty. From the pine and eucalyptus trees to the unspoiled beaches and dunes, a game you will enjoy.
Day 5 — Depart this golfer’ s haven and drive to Marrakesh, the ‘Pearl of the South’ , a magnificent oasis enclosed in rose-colored walls. Stroll the streets of the 1,000-year-old mystical town on the southern borders of Morocco’ s fiery mountainous desert.
Day 6 — Golf today on the Royal Marrakesh GC, in full view of the Atlas Mountains. Although flat, it is not easy. Orange, olive and palm trees and flowers line and divide the fairways.
Day 7 — Your round will be on one of the newest courses in Morocco, Amelkis GC.
Designed by Cabell Robinson it is located in the heart of a magnificent olive grove — a real treat. Also available to play in Marrakesh is the new and exciting Palmeraie GC, designed by Robert Trent Jones, Sr. The unique panorama, seven lakes and much more challenges you to a round you won’ t soon forget!
Day 8 — Sadly, time to depart this mystical country!
FEZ – Jewel of Imperial Cities
(2 Nights)
Mysterious Fez, the oldest of the Imperial Cities, is the spiritual, cultural and educational center, as well as the artistic center of Morocco. You will find the souks with narrow streets full of merchants and craftsmen going about their business. Great buys are leather, carpets, silver and gold jewelry and much more.
Day 1 — Depart for Fez, enroute you will want to visit Moulay Idriss, the Roman ruins at Volubilis and make a stop in Meknes, second of the Imperial Cities. Here you can see the 25 miles of triple walls with bastions, ramparts and monumental gates before arriving at your destination.
Day 2 — The Royal Fez GC is set in the countryside looking out towards the High Atlas Mountains. Designed by Cabell Robinson it accentuates the natural contours of the terrain to produce undulating fairways and treacherous sloping greens! This is definitely a challenge and although currently only 9 holes it is projected to soon become 18 holes.
Day 3 — Depart for your next venue.
