Jaal Riad Resort Marrakech

Golf holidays based at Jaal Riad Resort Marrakech put you on Boulevard Mohammed VI in Agdal, south of the medina, with Al Maaden Golf Resort Marrakech and Akenza Golf Course forming the core of the nearby golfing programme. Longer stays can add Samanah Country Club or Assoufid Golf Club Marrakech, giving a useful change of challenge through the week. The resort itself is adults-only and takes its character from the traditional riad, with contemporary Moroccan styling running through the rooms and suites. Balconies and views provide a welcome pause after an early tee time, while free parking is useful for groups using a hire car.

Al Maaden is the round for golfers who enjoy being asked to think from the tee onwards. Its 104 bunkers shape a varied layout beneath the Atlas Mountains, so good course management matters as much as a confident strike. At Samanah, Jack Nicklaus designed Morocco’s only course carrying his name, and the mountain backdrop is part of the experience throughout the round. Assoufid brings its own practical strengths, with a clubhouse, academy and pro shop on site. For another nearby option, Atlas Golf Marrakech is around 1 mile from the resort. Royal Golf Marrakech offers a different rhythm, beginning in more open surroundings before moving into a tighter latter stretch.

Between rounds, there are five places for food and drink, including a rooftop venue, while two pools and a garden solarium make unhurried afternoons easy. The Bowe Spa includes a sauna, steam rooms, jacuzzis and solariums, alongside a gym and fitness studio. An art gallery, library, concept store and creative workshops give the hotel a more thoughtful side than the usual pool and bar routine. Marrakech Menara Airport is about 2 miles away, with a drive of roughly 10 minutes, and Jemaâ el Fna Square and the principal historic sights are similarly close by car.
