Moroccan Golf Courses

[forerightagain]

Hello peeps, off to morocco next month but not much detail going around on the golf courses.

Staying in Marakech, so any first hand information would be appreciated. Better still anyone going out there?

No-one answering so I'll offer a little advice, non golf mainly -

Dont make eye contact with anyone selling anything! When you're in that famous Place el f'na in the middle of Marrakech they'll throw a monkey at you and then demand £20 for a crappy photograph.
Also couldn't go further than 200 yards from the hotel as I had the obligatory 2 day screaming abdabs so pack some imodium as an essential.

Saw a golf course driving into Marrakech from the south - looked very nice with great views of the Atlas Mountains.

Fascinating country, can be a bit hassly in the cities.

Dont be like the Yank tourists - show some respect for the Islamic culture and don't wear shorts please.

Try and get out to the Sahara in eastern part of Morrocco, climb the enormous dunes and watch the sunset - fabulous.

I came in from the north and didn't see any golf courses.

However, again on a less golf note, you must:
- try the nuts and dried fruits
- try the orange juice (you can't miss the stalls)
- have some shisha
- watch the street fight, its on one night a week and it is great but don't get involved and watch from a distance
- finally haggle!!! they can spot tourists from a mile off so they always bump up their prices and never be bullied into a sale
