The Best Golf Courses in Morocco

There is a particular thrill to teeing off in Morocco: the snow on the High Atlas catching the morning light, the scent of argan and orange blossom on the air, the call to prayer drifting across a fairway carved from red earth. This is golf with a profound sense of place — a country where the desert, the mountains and the Atlantic each shape a different kind of round.
Golf Planet Holidays has been crafting tailor-made golf journeys since 1981, and Morocco is among our most rewarding. The courses here are characterful and varied, the welcome warm, and the contrast — championship golf by day, the souks and riads of Marrakech by evening — quite unlike anywhere else. Here are the courses we love most, and the kind of test each one offers.
Marrakech: desert golf beneath the Atlas
Marrakech is Morocco’s golfing heart, and Assoufid Golf Club is its most distinctive course — a sculpted desert layout of rolling dunes, native scrub and bunkerless natural waste areas, all set against the dramatic backdrop of the snow-capped Atlas Mountains. It is a strategic, links-feeling test that rewards thoughtful position over brute length, and the sense of space is extraordinary. Golfers who admire courses that feel grown from their landscape will fall for it.
The city makes the perfect base. We pair Marrakech golf with stays to suit every mood: the grand Fairmont Royal Palm for those who want true five-star polish, the elegant Mövenpick Hotel Mansour Eddahbi beside the Palmeraie, the boutique Hotel & Ryads Barriere Le Naoura moments from the medina, or relaxed Palmeraie comfort at the Pickalbatros Hotel du Golf Marrakech Palmeraie, Iberostar Waves Club Palmeraie and Kenzi Menara Palace. Whichever you choose, the souks, gardens and rooftop terraces of Marrakech are part of the experience.
Agadir and Taghazout: golf on the Atlantic edge
Drop down to the coast and the golf changes character entirely. Around Agadir the air is softer, the light is gentler and the courses are greener — this is Morocco’s most relaxed golfing region, where the Atlantic tempers the heat year-round. The jewel here is Golf Tazegzout, which tumbles through groves of ancient argan trees to clifftop greens perched high above the ocean. The sea views are simply some of the finest in Moroccan golf, and the breeze adds just enough challenge to keep you honest.
For your stay, the contemporary Hyatt Place Taghazout Bay sits beautifully on the surf coast north of Agadir, while the Tikida Golf Palace offers established resort comfort closer to the city. Agadir is the choice for golfers who want their rounds wrapped in ocean air, long beaches and an easy, unhurried rhythm.
Where our specialists would stay in Morocco
Casablanca and El Jadida: seaside golf by the dunes
North along the coast towards Casablanca lies the Mazagan Golf Course — a genuine seaside test laid out among the dunes and sea grasses of the El Jadida shoreline. Exposed to the Atlantic wind and routed across rumpled, dune-backed terrain, it offers the closest thing in Morocco to a true links experience, and it is a course that asks you to flight the ball and read the breeze. Golfers raised on British and Irish coastal golf will feel instantly at home.
The natural base is the handsome Mazagan Beach & Golf Resort, set right on the beach with the course on its doorstep — an effortless pairing of golf, sand and Atlantic horizons, and an easy add-on to a Marrakech itinerary.
Building your Morocco golf trip
The beauty of Morocco is how easily its golfing regions combine. A classic Golf Planet Holidays itinerary might open with the desert drama of Assoufid Golf Club and the riads of Marrakech, then transfer to the Atlantic for ocean-edge rounds at Golf Tazegzout or the dune-land of Mazagan Golf Course — three distinct styles of golf in a single, seamless trip.
Everything is arranged around you: the courses you want to play, the standard of hotel you prefer, tee times, transfers and the pace that suits your group. Tailor-made Morocco golf holidays with us start from £378pp, and from there the trip is yours to shape.

Frequently asked questions
Which is the best golf course in Morocco?
Among Morocco’s courses, Assoufid Golf Club outside Marrakech is the most widely admired — a sculpted desert layout framed by the snow-capped Atlas Mountains, prized for its natural beauty and strategic, links-like challenge. On the coast, Golf Tazegzout above Agadir and the Mazagan Golf Course near Casablanca are its most compelling rivals. We can build any of them into your itinerary.
Can I play golf in both Marrakech and Agadir on one trip?
Yes, and we often recommend it. The two regions offer wonderfully different golf — desert and mountains around Marrakech at Assoufid Golf Club, ocean air and clifftop greens at Golf Tazegzout near Agadir. A specialist will arrange the transfer and sequence the courses and hotels so the journey flows naturally.
What kind of hotels do you offer in Morocco?
A full range, all hand-picked. In Marrakech that spans the five-star Fairmont Royal Palm, the elegant Mövenpick Hotel Mansour Eddahbi and the boutique Hotel & Ryads Barriere Le Naoura, through to comfortable Palmeraie resorts. On the coast we use the Hyatt Place Taghazout Bay and Tikida Golf Palace near Agadir, and the beachfront Mazagan Beach & Golf Resort near Casablanca. We match the hotel to your taste and your golf.
Is my Morocco golf holiday financially protected?
Yes. Golf Planet Holidays has arranged tailor-made golf travel since 1981 and your trip is fully protected: where flights are included your holiday is ATOL protected, and your money is held securely in trust with PTS until you travel. You book and play with complete peace of mind.
