Amelkis Golf Course
A fairly easy golf course with well maintained but wide fairways. No major difficulties to access the greens which do not have significant slopes. Caddy mandatory, his name is Abdul and he drags one of his legs a lot. It is not an easy job for him. He’s a real golfer, he says he’s ranked 26. He has a good eye and analyzes my missed shots. However, he made 4 mistakes by advising me to use the wrong clubs. I trust him the first 3 times because he knows the course, but the 4th time, I follow my instinct and I am right. He is very nice this Abdul, I give him a small tip. I would have liked to give him more but my budget is a bit limited.
Noria Golf
I didn’t like this golf course very much. The first 9 holes are not very interesting as far as fairways are concerned. Easy golf except numerous bunkers and narrow greens. Second part much more interesting and hilly. I played with Fouad, a Moroccan from Casablanca, who told me that he had a very interesting membership valid on 9 different golf courses.
Atlas Golf
Very nice 9 holes, unfortunately not extendable because there are constructions all around.
Fast greens with slopes, hole 9 in the peninsula very difficult.
This golf course is beautifully landscaped. The clubhouse terrace is very pleasant and the restaurant is quite good at a reasonable price.Very nice 9 holes, unfortunately not extendable because there are constructions all around.Fast greens with slopes, hole 9 in the peninsula very difficult.This golf course is beautifully landscaped.

Al Maaden
Game shared with a young Swiss and 2 Welsh ex-rugby players very nice but not very good, although handicap 19 like me.
Very wide fairways, no great difficulties except around the water obstacle. A club-house and villas all around the golf particularly aesthetic.
Beautiful terrace around a water feature. The course will not leave me an imperishable memory.
Our Swiss friend is smiling and friendly but a real caricature of the Swiss, probably the slowest player I have ever met.Game shared with a young Swiss and 2 Welsh ex-rugby players very nice but not very good, although handicap 19 like me.Very wide fairways, no great difficulties except around the water obstacle.

Samanah Golf by Nicklaus
Very expensive, far from the city. I ask the charming young woman at the reception desk about the price. She answers me with a lot of conviction that I will understand the price difference after playing, that it is a course designed by Nicklaus and that it makes all the difference, and that the quality of the course has nothing to do with the other golf courses of the city.
Game shared with a couple of young Irish people very nice with whom I will discuss a lot and a Welsh incomprehensible very nice but with incomprehensible English for me.
The game is really nice but I remain on my hunger concerning the course, although my playing partners share the enthusiasm of the young woman of the reception concerning the course. I don’t find anything exceptional about it, the fairways are wide and without difficulties (no vegetation, no water in play (very little), only the greens show a little more interest than in the other golf courses. Although not as fast as those of Noria, they have slopes a little more delicate to read. But my putting was good that day.
Conclusion : interesting golf without more, very nice club house but greenfee too expensive.Very expensive, far from the city. I ask the charming young woman at the reception desk about the price.
