About this course
The Executive Course at Royal Golf & Resort El Menzeh de Benslimane represents a collaboration between David Cohen and Robert von Hagge, designed to complement the resort's championship layout in the Chaouia-Ouardigha region of Morocco. Located approximately 40 kilometers south of Casablanca near the town of Benslimane, the property occupies rolling terrain characteristic of Morocco's Atlantic coastal plain, where eucalyptus groves and native vegetation frame the playing corridors. As an executive-length layout, the course serves both as a practice facility for members preparing for the longer championship course and as an accessible option for those seeking a quicker round. Von Hagge's design philosophy typically emphasizes strategic bunkering and water features even on shorter layouts, and the routing here takes advantage of the property's natural elevation changes to create variety despite the abbreviated yardages. The holes move through a landscape that transitions between open, wind-exposed stretches and more sheltered areas where trees define the playing lines. The Royal Golf & Resort El Menzeh de Benslimane functions as a semi-private facility serving both members and resort guests, with the executive course providing an important training ground and alternative to the championship test. The setting offers views across agricultural lands toward the Middle Atlas foothills in the distance, and the course benefits from the region's Mediterranean climate, which allows for year-round play with cooler conditions during the winter months.
