GOLF COURSES

DAR SALAM GOLF COURSE IN RABAT :

It is one of the 10 finest golf-courses in the world designed by Cabell Robinson. He slipped this course in amongst the dunes which he modelled for the sake of the game but nature has regained its nightful place: abundant vegetation line the fairways, a few water obstacles punctuate the 18 holes. The splendour of this golf course is the combination of the very essence of original golf with obstacles and fairways, a typical Moroccan environment. Furthermore, the architect has managed to profit the course to adapt it to modern golf.
