Oued Fes Golf Resort, Morocco

The design of this large golf course features three main characteristics: woodland, wetland and grassland (including some “desert-like” features). The result is a varied and memorable course for golfers of varying abilities, all within view from the golf villas, apartments and 5 hotels.

In order to keep the golf course in play throughout the year and prevent any risk of flooding, Gaunt Golf Design raised the level of the fairways, greens and tees, 300m driving range and practice greens to an elevation 1.5 metres above 100 year flood level.

These levels will be achieved by importing subsoil from other sites near Fes and by excavating subsoil during the creation of water features.

Those areas not built up are crossed by timber boardwalks, buggy tracks and bridges.

The grassland areas comprise bold, flowing and undulating features with some water channels that flood when levels rise in winter and become wetland/marshland during the drier seasons.

The result will be something golfers in Morocco or travelling there on holiday might not expect - a bit like a lush green oasis.

Construction work now underway - completion due summer/autumn 2008.
