Por qué jugar aquí
Royal Golf de Fès in Fez is the city's royal course, an 18 hole par 72 laid out inside a large olive grove on Route Imouzzer, a few minutes from the centre.
It was designed by the American architect Cabell B. Robinson, who has built courses across Morocco, Spain, Portugal and France.
The course sits at 700 metres above sea level and looks out towards the peaks of the Middle Atlas.
The ground is hilly and dotted with lakes, which makes it a different proposition from the flat resort courses on the Moroccan coast.
