Former Masters champion Vijay Singh has teamed-up with Graham Marsh Golf Design to create a new ourse for the Al Houara Resort in Tangier.
Situated on the Moroccan coast, the 18-hole course will be a signature component of Qatari Diar’s luxury development. This marks the first collaboration between these two celebrated golfers.
The Al Houara Golf Course has been designed as two returning nines with the 9th and 18th greens located below the clubhouse. The majority of the holes are situated on the eastern part of the site on a slightly undulating plain.
Five holes are located on the higher land that will play down to and then back from the sea, providing a majestic setting for players. Among those are the 12th, 13th and 14th holes, which will become the “signature” holes. Golfers will play down to the dunes behind the beach while taking in breathtaking views of the sea.
“We are very excited to have two of the world’s most successful golfers, Vijay Singh and Graham Marsh, designing such a beautiful golf course for us in Morocco,” said Qatari Diar Deputy CEO Mr. Ahmed Al Mazroei.
“Al Houara is very special to Qatari Diar and this new international golf course is just one of many attractions being created within this magnificent development to create a unique and glamorous travel experience for business travelers and tourists alike.”
In addition to the 18-hole golf course, there will be a large driving range with adjacent practice green and chipping area. A short 9 hole par three course is also envisaged on the southern side of the main entrance road.
Al Houara will be a $660 million luxury tourist resort, spanning 234 hectares of coastal land.
In addition to the Al Houara golf course, the development will include the five-star Kempinski Al Houara Beach Resort and Spa, another five star hotel, a public beach club, residential apartments and villas, retail and entertainment as well as a residential club.
