Morocco Travel - The Royal Dar Es-Salam Golf Club, Rabat
Robert
Trent Jones' most notable Moroccan creation. Set in a 1,000 acre forest of
cork trees, this 45-hole complex is only 15-20 minutes from
Rabat and comprises three courses. Firstly,
the Red course (7,462 yards, par 73) - no lover of great golf courses (and I
mean great) should go to his grave without having first tested his skills
against this magnificent monster. Long, yes, but never, never boring and,
from the front tees, it's a perfectly fair, if strenuous test. The
shelf-like greens surrounded by daunting bunkers make every approach shot a
high test of nerve, the superb Bermuda grass fairways, true, fastish greens
and a finishing hole at No.18 that must rank as one of the toughest finales
in the world.
For the lesser mortals there is the Blue course (around 6,600 yards but
without the unforgiving Red courses plethora of fairway bunkers) which has a
number of excellent holes. And lastly, the little Green course with its 9
charming holes set in wooded surrounds with plenty of shade on a steamy day.
The clubhouse is splendid - you feel pampered from the moment you arrive.
There are excellent changing facilities, practice ground and putting green
of the highest class, a swimming pool and superb French-influenced cuisine.
