Amelkis is a 27-hole course at kilometre 12 of the Ouarzazate road, which the club puts about ten minutes from central Marrakech. American architect Cabell B. Robinson designed it, and its trademark is bunkers of red earth rather than white sand. Wide, American-style fairways bend between mounds and seven lakes, with palms and the High Atlas behind. Three nines give you a choice of combinations, and its published visitor rate is lower than Royal Golf Marrakech, Assoufid or Al Maaden in high season.
Amelkis Golf Club green fees and tee times.
Amelkis has an online booking page with a separate route for visitors, reached from the “Book a Tee Time” button on the club’s site. You can also book by phone on +212 524 40 44 14 or email amelkis@marogolf.ma. The club is run by Marogolf, which also manages Bahia Golf Beach near Rabat. Its rate card shows a standard visitor fee, a lower rate for Moroccan federation (FRMG) licence holders and junior prices, but no seasons or handicap rules. Take your handicap certificate anyway; Assoufid, for example, insists on one.

The courses at Amelkis Golf Club.
Rouge, Vert and Bleu nines
Amelkis is three nine-hole loops rather than a fixed 18. The club lists all 27 holes together at more than 10,000 metres, with each nine sharing the same palette of wide fairways, red-earth bunkers and lakes. Which two nines you play depends on the day’s draw, so ask at booking if you want a particular combination. On a longer stay, playing all three across two days lets you cover the full course.
The round, in perspective.
The club calls its course one of the most technical in Morocco. The three nines, Rouge, Vert and Bleu, can be combined into different 18-hole rounds; the club gives a combined length of more than 10,000 metres and says it could host major professional events. Fairways are generous, but dog-legs wind between grassed mounds, and seven lakes are placed where a careless drive or a long approach finds them. The red-earth bunkers are the detail that sets Amelkis apart from the white-sand courses nearby. The club’s English pages give the full 27 as 11,655 yards, and the Atlas fills the view to the south. A scorecard PDF on the club’s site gives hole-by-hole distances for each nine.

Make the trip work.
The clubhouse sits at the start of the course near the driving range, with a restaurant and a flowered terrace facing the course and the Atlas; it is open every day, so lunch after a morning round is easy. The practice area includes a driving range, an approach green and a putting green. The pro shop sells equipment and rents clubs; the rate card lists a bag at MAD 350 for 18 holes. A buggy costs MAD 400 for 18 holes and is sensible on a warm afternoon, since the estate is large.
Marrakech Menara Airport (RAK) is about 9 km west of the course in a straight line. Head for the Ouarzazate road (N9) south-east out of the city; the entrance is at kilometre 12. The club’s contact page gives the GPS position as 31°36′55″N, 7°56′35″W, which is useful for taxi drivers. Allow extra time at the city-centre roundabouts at rush hour.
The golf club itself has no hotel, so stay in town. The Palmeraie to the north and the Hivernage district both have large hotels within a short drive. A riad in the Medina is the more atmospheric option, about ten to fifteen minutes away outside rush hour.
Make a trip of it.
Al Maaden and Royal Golf Marrakech are both on Route du Golf Royal, a short drive back towards town, so all three can be played from one hotel. Assoufid, on the Guemassa road to the south-west, adds a desert-style round. The Ouarzazate road continues over the High Atlas by the Tizi n’Tichka pass, a popular day trip from this side of the city.
Find your season.
Play between October and May. Winter brings cool, clear mornings and snow on the Atlas, the backdrop the club highlights. From June to September the heat on the plain makes early tee times essential, and the lakes and red earth can make long afternoons feel even hotter.
The club’s rate card lists MAD 950 for 18 holes and MAD 550 for nine for standard visitors, MAD 600 for holders of a Moroccan federation licence, and MAD 350 for juniors. Buggies cost MAD 400 for 18 holes.
