About this course

Royal Golf & Resort El Menzeh de Benslimane sits in the Chaouia-Ouardigha region of Morocco, approximately forty kilometers inland from Casablanca. The course was designed by Robert von Hagge in collaboration with David Cohen, bringing von Hagge's characteristic bold styling to the Moroccan landscape. The property occupies gently rolling terrain typical of this agricultural region, where the routing takes advantage of natural elevation changes and the prevailing climate of the Atlantic coastal plain. Von Hagge's design philosophy, evident in his work across multiple continents, typically emphasizes dramatic bunkering, strategic water features, and generous landing areas balanced by demanding approach shots. At Benslimane, the layout reflects these principles within the context of Moroccan golf, where courses often contend with seasonal weather patterns and the challenge of maintaining playing surfaces in a semi-arid climate. The course serves both resort guests and members, functioning as a regional facility in an area where golf infrastructure remains less developed than in the coastal resort zones of Agadir or Marrakech. The Royal designation indicates patronage or recognition within Morocco's golf establishment, though the club operates primarily as a resort amenity. The setting provides views across the surrounding countryside, and the design incorporates native vegetation and landscaping appropriate to the region's water resources and growing conditions.

Getting there

The journey to Royal Golf & Resort El Menzeh de Benslimane begins at Mohammed V International Airport in Casablanca (CMN), Morocco's primary gateway, positioned roughly 50 kilometers to the southwest. From the terminal, the route traces northeast through the coastal plains of Chaouia-Ouardigha, a drive of under an hour that gradually transitions from the sprawl of greater Casablanca into quieter agricultural country dotted with eucalyptus and olive groves. As you approach Benslimane, the landscape opens into rolling terrain, and the resort emerges as a verdant oasis of manicured fairways and royal palms - a serene counterpoint to the energy of the Atlantic coast left behind.
