Our take

Strategy beats muscle at Al Maaden, a Kyle Phillips design where smallish greens and a surprising amount of water decide the score.

Frequently asked questions

Golf holidays in Morocco — 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.
