Stunning golf destination in Morocco seeks Troon Golf expertise.
Troon Golf®, the leader in upscale golf course management, development and marketing is pleased to announce it has been selected to manage the Golf operations for Mediterrania Saidia Golf. Mediterrania Saidia, the resort in which the golf course will sit is a magical tourist destination in North East Morocco, facing the shores of Almeria, Spain. Built adjacent to 6km of breathtaking coastline in the province of Berkane just a few miles from Oujda airport, the resort has committed to creating one of the finest destinations in Morocco’s burgeoning tourism plans. On the doorstep of Europe, The Palmeral golf course will be one of the finest in the region and the first to be completed in the resort. The quality of the first 18 holes has been subject to much praise from those fortunate to have seen it. Future plans for the region would suggest Mediterrania Saidia will become the new Mecca for golf in the Mediterranean.
“Morocco has set some impressive targets of becoming one of the top new golf destinations. With plans for resorts such as Mediterrania Saidia and the vision of H.M. King Mohammed VI to wisely promote such a stunning region, should see Morocco and Mediterrania Saidia prosper,” stated Bruce Glasco, Troon Golf’s managing director, Europe, Middle East and Africa. “We have worked closely with the development team and are committed to partnering with Mediterrania Saidia to create what will be one of the most stunning pieces of land in Morocco and the rest of the world.”
The golf course itself will measure 6,800 yards, par 72. Designed by Spanish designer Francisco Segales, the ideally located course meanders through a pristine natural environment and offers some spectacular views of indigenous plant life and an impressive lake, all adding to the tranquility of the experience. Set to open in the coming weeks, the latest addition to the Moroccan golf portfolio will no doubt catch the imagination of all who play. With all the latest state-of-the-art amenities, including the very best in practice facility, The Palmeral course will cater to the needs of all golfers.
