Morocco
The oldest and best of the three courses in the area. Opening in 1923 it's a lush oasis and is beautifully maintained by wonderful staff who are keen to offer advice and encouragement - and turn a blind eye to odd shanked tee shot. Winston Churchill and David Lloyd George played there and if it's good enough for them....
Marrakech Royal Golf Club, Ancienne route de Ouarzazate, BP 634, Marrakech
This is a fantastic little mountain biking company that leads independent trips through the high Atlas Mountains.
The main guide has spent years running trips in this area and as such introduces you to little-known single tracks and beautiful vistas - plus, because it's pretty free and easy you may find yourself on a unique little adventure!
They work with independent local tour companies and accommodation consists of traditional Berber-style village houses, meaning that you get a real slice of local life.
The trails are beautiful, the life simple and the experience of breaking away from all the other big-style travel companies is quite irreplaceable.
