Golf in Morocco: The Best Courses to Play in 2026/27

Marrakech is Morocco’s golfing heart, and if you only play one course here, make it Assoufid Golf Club. It is a sculpted desert layout of rolling dunes and native scrub, with natural waste areas doing the work of formal bunkers and the snow-capped Atlas Mountains filling the horizon behind the greens. Position beats power. Assoufid rewards a thought-out line off the tee rather than brute length, and anyone who admires courses that feel grown from their landscape will fall for it.

It is far from the only course worth your time. Al Maaden Golf Club was laid out by Kyle Phillips, the architect behind Kingsbarns, and opened in 2010; the par 72 measures 7,184 yards and uses water across the property to good effect. The Montgomerie Marrakech, a Colin Montgomerie and European Golf Design course from 2014, is a more manicured, modern test than the desert layouts nearby. Amelkis Golf Club gives you 27 holes of Cabell B. Robinson design dating from 1995, playing to a par of 72. And for a sense of where it all began, Royal Golf de Marrakech dates to 1927, the oldest course in the city, 27 holes of mature woodland golf by Gustave Golias and Arnaud Massy. One honest word: the better-known Marrakech tee sheets fill fast in the autumn and spring peak, so it pays to book early and let us lock in the times you want.

The city makes an ideal base and the hotel choice is broad. For proper five-star polish we would send you to the Fairmont Royal Palm, from £660 (≈ €765) (≈ $895) (≈ CA$1,235) (≈ AU$1,255) (≈ NZ$1,515) (≈ CHF 715) (≈ kr 8,385) (≈ kr 8,485) (≈ kr 5,765) pp, our pick of the Marrakech hotels for golfers who want the full resort treatment. The Mövenpick Hotel Mansour Eddahbi, from £495 (≈ €575) (≈ $665) (≈ CA$925) (≈ AU$945) (≈ NZ$1,135) (≈ CHF 535) (≈ kr 6,285) (≈ kr 6,365) (≈ kr 4,315) pp, is the smart-value option, while the Hotel & Ryads Barriere Le Naoura puts you moments from the medina if the souks matter as much as the scorecard. For relaxed Palmeraie comfort there is the Pickalbatros Hotel du Golf Marrakech Palmeraie, from £560 (≈ €645) (≈ $755) (≈ CA$1,045) (≈ AU$1,065) (≈ NZ$1,285) (≈ CHF 605) (≈ kr 7,115) (≈ kr 7,195) (≈ kr 4,885) pp, the Iberostar Waves Club Palmeraie and the Kenzi Menara Palace, from £530 (≈ €615) (≈ $715) (≈ CA$995) (≈ AU$1,005) (≈ NZ$1,215) (≈ CHF 575) (≈ kr 6,735) (≈ kr 6,815) (≈ kr 4,625) pp. Whichever you choose, the gardens and rooftop terraces of Marrakech are part of the trip.

Drop down to the coast and the golf changes character entirely. Around Agadir the air is softer and the courses greener, with the Atlantic keeping the heat in check for most of the year. The course to build a trip around is Golf Tazegzout, which runs through groves of ancient argan trees to clifftop greens high above the ocean, with sea views that stand among the finest in Moroccan golf. Be warned, though. This coast is open and exposed, and an afternoon round can blow up considerably stiffer than the morning, which is part of the fun if you grew up on seaside golf and a shock if you did not.

For more golf without straying far, Golf du Soleil sits close to Agadir with 36 holes, a useful second venue for a longer stay or a group that wants variety across the week. If it comes down to one or the other, play Tazegzout.

For the stay itself, the contemporary Hyatt Place Taghazout Bay, from £495 (≈ €575) (≈ $665) (≈ CA$925) (≈ AU$945) (≈ NZ$1,135) (≈ CHF 535) (≈ kr 6,285) (≈ kr 6,365) (≈ kr 4,315) pp, sits on the surf coast north of Agadir, while the Tikida Golf Palace, from £645 (≈ €745) (≈ $875) (≈ CA$1,205) (≈ AU$1,225) (≈ NZ$1,475) (≈ CHF 695) (≈ kr 8,195) (≈ kr 8,295) (≈ kr 5,625) pp, offers established resort comfort closer to the city. Agadir suits golfers who want their rounds wrapped in ocean air and long beaches, at an easy, unhurried pace.

North along the coast towards Casablanca lies the Mazagan Golf Course, a Gary Player design laid out among the dunes and sea grasses of the El Jadida shoreline. It is the closest thing Morocco has to a true links. The wind is real, the ground rumples, and the course asks you to flight the ball rather than launch it high and hope. Golfers raised on British and Irish coastal golf will feel at home within three holes.

The natural base is the Mazagan Beach & Golf Resort, from £345 (≈ €395) (≈ $465) (≈ CA$645) (≈ AU$655) (≈ NZ$785) (≈ CHF 375) (≈ kr 4,385) (≈ kr 4,435) (≈ kr 3,005) pp, set right on the beach with the course on its doorstep and an easy add-on to a Marrakech itinerary. One thing to plan for: El Jadida is a fair drive from Marrakech, so we would treat it as a proper leg of the trip rather than a day out.

The appeal of Morocco is how readily its regions combine. A classic itinerary opens with the desert golf of Assoufid Golf Club and the riads of Marrakech, then moves to the Atlantic for clifftop rounds at Golf Tazegzout or the dune-land of the Mazagan Golf Course. Three distinct styles of golf, one trip.

Everything is built around your dates: the courses you want to play, the standard of hotel you prefer, tee times, transfers and the pace that suits your group. Hand-built Morocco golf holidays start from £345 (≈ €395) (≈ $465) (≈ CA$645) (≈ AU$655) (≈ NZ$785) (≈ CHF 375) (≈ kr 4,385) (≈ kr 4,435) (≈ kr 3,005) pp at Mazagan, and from there the trip is yours to shape.

Every course in the table below is one we book, and one our specialists have played, so the notes come from the fairway rather than a brochure. Here is how Morocco’s courses compare on architect, vintage and scorecard, from the desert layouts around Marrakech to the Atlantic golf above Agadir and the dune-land of the Casablanca coast. It is the detail behind every Morocco golf holiday we plan.

Green fees at every course above are built into the price of your break, along with your airport and golf transfers. The one thing we cannot conjure is a peak-season tee time at short notice, so the earlier we lock yours in, the more say you have over the running order of the week.
