Oued Fès Golf is an 18 hole par 72 course on the Meknes road northwest of Fez, opened in 2012 and designed by the Scottish architect Jonathan Gaunt. Its fairways wind between woodland and the oued, with lagoons and water features set on both sides of the canal. The lakes double as rainwater reservoirs, which is the point of the club's eco design.
Warum hier spielen
Oued Fès Golf in Fez is an 18 hole par 72 laid along the oued on the Meknes road, the newer of the city's two courses.
It was designed by the Scottish architect Jonathan Gaunt and opened in 2012.
Fairways run between wooded and wet ground, with lagoons and water features placed on both sides of the canal.
The lakes hold rainwater rather than mains water, which is how the club runs its eco design.
Eucalyptus line a public promenade through the site, with palms and Aleppo pines scattered across the course.

Beste Zeit
Spring and autumn give the most comfortable playing weather in Fez.
An early tee time is the sensible choice in July and August, when the plain around Fez gets very hot.
The course sits lower than Royal Golf de Fès, so it warms up faster in summer.
Praktische Tipps
The course is on the Meknes road, the N6, northwest of Fez, about 20 to 30 minutes by taxi from the medina.
Tee times go through the operator Madaef Golfs, which handles member and visitor bookings separately.

Water is in play on many holes, so pack a few spare balls.
