A Buddies’ Golf Getaway to Marrakech

The whole appeal of Marrakech for a group is choice without the driving. Five championship courses sit within a short transfer of the city, so you can chase a different test every morning and still be back for a long lunch.

The Montgomerie Marrakech carries Colin Montgomerie’s name and his thinking: smart, strategic, the kind of round that gets argued over at dinner. Amelkis Golf Club is the long-standing favourite, mature and well-conditioned, a course that’s hosted tour pros and still rewards a tidy short game. Al Maaden Golf Club brings sculpted bunkering, water and Atlas Mountain backdrops that make even a d￭ approach feel cinematic. Royal Palm Golf threads through olive groves and palm with the High Atlas on the horizon, and Noria Golf Club rounds out the set with a relaxed, playable layout that’s perfect for the day the legs are tired and the banter needs to do the heavy lifting.

For a four-to-eight group, two to four rounds across these five is the sweet spot. We’ll sequence the tee times so the harder tests land when you’re fresh and the social rounds when you’re not.

A buddies’ trip lives and dies on the hotel: somewhere with room to spread out, a bar that doesn’t shut early, and a breakfast that can cope with eight men in golf shoes at 7am. We use hotels we know and trust around Marrakech.

Pickalbatros Hotel du Golf Marrakech puts you close to the action with the easy, all-in feel that suits a group counting rounds not receipts. Mövenpick Hotel Mansour Eddahbi sits centrally with the polish and the pool to match, ideal if the crew wants a city base with somewhere proper to gather after golf. Iberostar Club Palmeraie Marrakech leans into the resort experience out in the palm groves, space to breathe between rounds and plenty going on when you’re not on the tee.

Tell us the vibe, lively and central or relaxed and resort-style, and we’ll match the hotel to the group rather than the other way round.

Here’s the part that makes the annual trip actually feel like a holiday: you enquire, we build it. One quote, one itinerary, one person to ring if something needs changing. No spreadsheet, no chasing deposits round the group, no surprises at the airport.

Golf Planet Holidays is ATOL Protected, and your money is held in trust with PTS until you’ve travelled, so every penny your group pays in is safeguarded right up to the day you fly home. We bill in GBP, and trips are enquiry-based and tailor-made, priced to your group from that £537 per person starting point.

If your crew would rather not lift a finger on the ground, we can arrange a hosted or escorted group trip too, with tee times, transfers and the running order handled for you. Less logistics, more golf.

Marrakech isn’t only a European bolt-hole. For US groups it’s a genuinely rewarding long-weekend-plus: connect through London, Paris, Madrid or Lisbon and you land in a city where the green fees, the food and the hotels go a long way against the dollar, often well below comparable golf at home. Five championship courses, a strong dollar and a base that feels a world away from the usual Florida or Arizona buddies’ trip.

We arrange the ground side, hotels, golf, transfers and the schedule, billed in GBP, and can add ATOL-protected flights from the UK as part of the package; US groups typically book their own transatlantic legs to the connecting hub and we take it from there. Tell us where you’re flying from and how long you’ve got, and we’ll shape the itinerary around it.
