Morocco's Atlantic Coast is where the golf comes with a sea breeze and a low winter sun. The run of seaboard from Agadir up to Casablanca gives you links-flavoured fairways above the surf, parkland resort courses set back from the dunes, and the kind of reliable warmth that makes a December tee time feel like a small act of escape. Agadir is the heart of it — a long sweep of beach, palm-lined boulevards and resorts a short transfer from the first tee — while Casablanca, further north, adds the polish of a grand coastal resort. It is unhurried, sunlit and very easy to like.
We have arranged Morocco golf since 1981. Every itinerary is hand-built and hand-priced around your dates, your group and the courses you want to play.
Why play golf in Atlantic Coast
Winter-sun golf that actually delivers — playable warmth right through our winter, when courses at home are closed or sodden.
Atlantic settings — clifftop and oceanside holes at Golf Tazegzout in Agadir, with the surf as your backdrop.
Variety in a short transfer — Agadir alone gives you Golf Tazegzout and Golf du Soleil, with the resort and first tee minutes apart.
A genuine resort course up north — Mazagan Golf Course near Casablanca, paired with a full beach-and-golf resort.
Hand-picked stays — we know these hotels and pair them to the golf, the group and the budget.
The courses you’ll play
Agadir is the obvious base. Golf Tazegzout is the headline — a course that rides the Atlantic shoreline north of the city, with elevated holes, ocean views and a true sense of place; it sits alongside the Hyatt Place at Taghazout Bay. Closer to town, Golf du Soleil offers a more sheltered, parkland-style round, well suited to a relaxed second or third day and to mixed-ability groups. Up the coast at Casablanca, Mazagan Golf Course anchors the Mazagan Beach & Golf Resort with a sweeping links-influenced layout running through the dunes. Between them you have ocean drama, easy resort golf and a grand coastal finish — we build the rotation around the courses you most want to play.
Where you’ll stay
In Agadir, the Hyatt Place Taghazout Bay puts you on the developing Taghazout strip, close to Golf Tazegzout and the surf beaches north of the city. The Tikida Golf Palace is a long-established Agadir favourite, set in gardens with the city's beach and golf within easy reach — a comfortable, classic base. Up the coast near Casablanca, the Mazagan Beach & Golf Resort is the all-in option: a full beachfront resort wrapped around its own course, ideal if you'd rather not move once you've arrived. We match the hotel to your group — golf-first and central, gardens and calm, or one address that does everything.
Best time to play golf in Atlantic Coast
This is a true winter-sun destination. From November through March, the Atlantic Coast stays mild and largely dry — daytime warmth for comfortable golf when courses back home are out of action, with the ocean keeping the worst of any chill at bay. Spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) are the sweet spots: warm, settled and very pleasant for 18 holes. High summer (July–August) turns genuinely hot inland, though the Atlantic breeze around Agadir and Casablanca tempers the coast more than you'd expect; early tee times are the move. If you want guaranteed sun on a winter break, this stretch of Morocco is hard to beat.
A sense of Atlantic Coast
History & heritage
Morocco wears its history openly. Agadir is the modern face — rebuilt after the 1960 earthquake into a relaxed, low-rise resort city, with the old Kasbah hill looking down over the bay. Casablanca, to the north, is the country's cosmopolitan heart, home to the vast Hassan II Mosque rising straight from the Atlantic. Between rounds you'll feel the layers: Berber roots, Arab and Andalusian influence, and a French colonial overlay in the architecture and the café culture. Mint tea is a ritual, hospitality is sincere, and the souks reward an afternoon's wandering. It is a culture that makes a golf trip feel like a proper journey, not just a fixture list.
Food & wine
The table here is generous and aromatic. Expect tagines slow-cooked with preserved lemon and olives, couscous on a Friday, and — on the coast especially — superb grilled fish and seafood straight off the Atlantic boats. Agadir's port and beachfront restaurants do simple, excellent grilled prawns and sea bream; Casablanca leans more cosmopolitan, with smart dining alongside the classics. Morocco does produce wine, much of it from the regions inland, and you'll find local reds and rosés on most resort lists. Mint tea bookends every meal. Whether you want a long resort dinner or a plate of fresh fish by the harbour, the eating is part of the pleasure.
Beyond the fairways
There's plenty to fill a non-golf day. In Agadir, the beach itself is the headline — a vast crescent of sand for walking, surfing or simply doing nothing — with the Kasbah viewpoint and the marina close by. The Souss-Massa countryside and the famous argan groves lie just inland, and Taghazout, just north, is Morocco's surf-and-yoga village. Up the coast, Casablanca rewards a day's sightseeing around the Hassan II Mosque and the Art Deco centre, while the resorts themselves offer spas, pools and plenty of space to unwind. Couples and mixed groups travel happily here — the golf can be the spine of the trip without being all of it.
Getting around & exploring
Distances are easy once you're settled in one area. Within Agadir, taxis and short hotel transfers handle everything — the courses are minutes from the resorts, and you rarely need your own car. The same is true at the Mazagan resort near Casablanca, which is essentially self-contained. If you want to combine Agadir and the Casablanca coast in one trip, it's a longer drive up the Atlantic seaboard, so most guests treat them as two distinct bases. We arrange private transfers throughout — airport to hotel, hotel to first tee — so you can step off the plane and let the logistics look after themselves.
Getting there
The Atlantic Coast is reached via Agadir (Al Massira) airport for the southern resorts and Casablanca (Mohammed V) for Mazagan, both well served from the UK and Europe. Flights are not included in our prices — Golf Planet Holidays is a ground-only operator — but we can arrange them for you as a separate, ATOL-protected add-on, or you're welcome to book your own. Either way, we handle the private transfers from the moment you land. Tell us your preferred airport and dates and we'll build the trip around the most convenient routing.
Good to know
Currency is the Moroccan dirham (MAD); cards are widely accepted at resorts, cash is handy in souks and smaller spots.
Time zone is close to the UK's, so there's little to no jet lag.
Visas — UK and most European visitors don't need one for short stays; check current requirements before you travel.
Dress is relaxed at the resorts; a little modesty is appreciated away from the beach and golf.
Flights are an ATOL-protected add-on, not included — we're a ground-only operator and arrange every transfer.
We've arranged Morocco golf since 1981 — every itinerary is hand-built and hand-priced around your dates and group.
Golf holidays in Atlantic Coast — answers to the questions our golfers ask most.
Where should I go in Morocco? Agadir or Marrakech?
Marrakech is a great option if you want to explore the Arabic culture of this colourful city. Agadir has wonderful beaches and is the warmer of the two in winter. They are only three hours apart so if you want to explore both destinations in one trip, just let us know.
Do I need a hirecar in Morocco?
A hire car is not essential for most Morocco golf holidays. In Marrakech, all our packages include transfers between Marrakech Menara Airport and your hotel, and private transfers to golf courses. The main courses — Amelkis, Samanah and The Royal Golf Club — are all accessed via arranged transfers. Agadir's golf courses are similarly accessible without your own vehicle. If you want to explore Morocco more independently — visiting the Atlas Mountains, souks or coastal towns — a hire car gives you much more freedom.
Is Morocco good for golf groups?
With a private driver for your duration of your holiday, Morocco is a great destination to enjoy with your golfing friends.
How many golf courses are there in Morocco?
There are more than 20 golf courses in Morocco from the historic Royal Marrakech to the extravagant recent designer courses. Caddies and buggies are readily available.
Is it safe in Morocco?
Morocco is generally very safe for tourists and is one of the most visited countries in Africa. Golf resorts in Marrakech and Agadir are luxury, well-secured properties where guests experience no safety concerns. Exercise normal awareness in busy medina (market) areas as you would in any city, but the vast majority of visitors have entirely trouble-free trips. The UK Foreign Office advises normal precautions. Golf Planet Holidays has been sending clients to Morocco for many years and the destination has an excellent track record.
Are flights included?
Our golf holidays are arranged ground-only — hotel, golf and transfers. You can add flights through us, and those flights are ATOL protected as part of your booking.
