Assoufid Golf Club Marrakech , Marrakech - Book Golf Holidays, Flights & Breaks

Assoufid Golf Club

Winner of Morocco’s Best Golf Course 2016 & Africa’s Best Golf Course 2016 at the World Golf Awards, Assoufid offers the premier golf experience in Marrakech, and with no less than 5 sets of tees that can change the total length of the course by almost 2000 yards; a thoroughly enjoyable and challenging game of golf is on the cards here for golfers with a great variety of handicaps.

With the spectacular backdrop of the Atlas Mountains, Assoufid was designed by former European Tour player Niall Cameron, and features generous fairways that cut their way through the desert wasteland, giant bunkers which should be avoided at all costs, subtle slopes, and the odd dramatic elevation change, most notably at the par 3 17th; all of which will test a golfers skillset.

For lower handicappers, the course can stretch to well over 7,000 yards, so Assoufid is very much in the “championship golf” mold, with other courses in the Marrakech area offering a more friendly test of golf. That’s not to say higher handicappers can’t take their games to Assoufid and test their skills. From the forward tees, the golf course plays to a much more manageable 5,500 yards.

Ranked as the 5th best golf course in all of Morocco and located less than half an hour from the heart of Marrakech itself, Assoufid is an ideal inclusion on any Morocco Golf Holiday.

The first time we played this they asked us to start off the 10th so we wouldn’t have to wait. When we came round to play the front 9 there was a massive back up which resulted in us playing 2 holes in one hour. So we walked off the course and complained. The course Marshall had told us that 2 sets of players had turned up without a reservation and they had let them play. It was awful. We spoke with the manager of the club and he tried to ensure our second round would be better by putting us earlier. Our second round was much better although we found the slopes on the course resulted in balls rolling, often into rubble areas on the edges of the course. So not as enjoyable as the other courses. The bar/restaurant was pleasant

Our favourite course of the week. It has the advantage of not being flat and there are interesting altitude changes. The dry water courses mean they are small canyons to go over as well as waste areas. The course is very challenging off the white tees with a number of long par 4s. All the par 3s are good holes as well. The greens were a little slower than some of the other courses but quite difficult to read. Again this is a relatively open driving course but you need to drive it straight and long to reach the green in regulation.

The nice layout and a good golfing test. Some of the tees, greens and fairway were a bit sandy in place, maybe due to maintenance. Although many of the holes had desert round and on some you needed a decent carry to get to the fairway. There were also areas where you had bolders or large stone, admitting if you went in these areas it was a poor shot, but you risked damaging you clubs to get your ball back on the fairway. But by and large we enjoyed playing Assoufid

This report broadly is the same for our overall holiday experience on the courses booked by YGT. We may have been unlucky but the course was blocked up by a large group of French, who appeared to be playing a tournament moving from one course to another and we in tow! We witnessed 8, 6 and 5 people in the groups ahead moving very slowly ignoring normal golf etiquette. The course encouraged caddies and the group in front used their caddy as a teacher, naturally slowing things up. We reported our feelings and the Manager (a scot) took our concerns on board, and said he needed to brief the marshalls more firmly.

Assoufid was our least favourite to play but only because the fairways had recently been holotined and we had to play clean and place the course was visually spectacular and really difficult if your not the longest driver of the ball. I would say if your a low handicapper this course will be a real challenge for you!! The practice facilities were great and at no extra cost!! The 19 hole was a nice place to be and like all the other courses the drinks were expensive at £30 for 4 beers!! Over all this is a really nice course it was just lacking a little condition and was a little to tough for our party but would definitely play it again if the fairways were back to there best.
