If you think that life in Marrakech only revolves around souks, museums, and mosques, then you are absolutely wrong. Take it from this self-proclaimed persistent explorer who is always on the look out for new things to try. So, once again, I head out of my hotel room to discover what’s waiting for me in Marrakech city.

The activity I tried just recently was golfing. Do you know that Marrakech houses first-class golf courses that are famous around the world? Avid fans of Marrakech golf courses include big names such as former US president Dwight D. Eisenhower and Sir Winston Churchill. Well, you don’t have to be a world leader to feel the different kinds of pleasure playing golf can bring. Just take with you some friends or if you’re alone, some guts, and enjoy some tee time at one of the many golf clubs in Marrakech.

Located just 10 kilometers away from the city proper, La Palmeraie Golf Club served as the host to my first attempt at golfing. The place was highly recommended by many of my friends whose first love is sports. This prestigious 77-hectare Marrakech golf club has a breathtaking view of the Atlas mountains and other scenic places. At first, I wasn’t sure if I will really enjoy playing golf at that place because I watched golf tournaments in cable channels before, and I did not find it entertaining. However, La Palmeraie Golf Club provided the equipment, refreshing ambiance, and friendly crew to make my first golf experience really unforgettable. The people playing there who must have identified me as a newbie even offered basic golf lessons for free! Beware, Tiger Woods, this budding golfer will be the one to outshine your world records in the future!
