Still burgeoning from a raft of investment in its golfing facilities, Morocco now packs a serious punch in attracting the avid golf traveller. Marrakech is the focus, courtesy of having the greatest concentration of courses, but it’s by no means your only option.
Casablanca, thanks to the extraordinary Mazagan development, is an intriguing choice, while Agadir and Fes have not been spared in the pursuit of golfing excellence.
Located along the Atlantic coast, Mazagan Beach & Golf Resort is a stunning is a genuine oasis, featuring luxurious facilities, elegant surroundings and a superb golf course. Tee off to the sound of the waves and bask in the Moroccan sunshine as you enjoy the longest course in North Africa.
Designed by Kyle Phillips, Al Maaden occupies a fairly flat patch of land but the various water hazards and patches of rocky desert between the fairways make for an interesting test of golf.
Situated less than 20 minutes North of central Marrakech and framed by an incredible palm grove that dates back to the 11th century, Hotel Du Golf Rotana Palmeraie is a popular destination for a Morocco golf holiday.
Situated only 8km from Marrakech Menara International Airport and 10km from Marrakech itself, Assoufid Golf Club provides a top quality desert layout which will be sure to test golfers of all standards.
Measuring over 7,300 yards from the tips, Ourika is no joke from the back tees so if you're a low handicapper who likes a challenge, you'll be right at home here. The fairways are generous but the water hazards and desert scrubland can be punishing.
Designed by Kyle Phillips, Tazegzout is one of Morocco's most spectacular golf courses, with undulating fairways that weave through rocky desert scrublands through the early stages of the course, before finishing with spectacular panoramic views of the bay and out over the Atlantic Ocean.
Designed by 8-time European Tour Order of Merit winner Colin Montgomerie, Montgomerie Marrakech is one of a handful in the country designed by the leading names in golf, including the likes of Kyle Phillips, Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player.
Jack Nicklaus' first course in Morocco is a desert-style resort course which offers the visiting golfer a relaxing round of golf subject to tee choice. Play from the back tees and any flights of fancy about playing to your handicap might go out of the window after a few holes, but with no less than 5 tee positions on every hole, all golfers will be able to find their comfort zone and enjoy views of the Atlas Mountains along the way.
With narrow, tree-lined fairways and a mixture of flat holes and those featuring dramatic elevation changes near the green complexes, Golf du Soleil offers a different test to that which you'll find at many courses in Morocco.
The Sofitel Marrakech Lounge & Spa still is a magnificent Moorish palace that maintains its traditional regional character while offering all the furnishings and amenities of a top-end hotel. The Sofitel is perfectly situated for exploring the city while affording views to the snow-covered peaks of the Atlas Mountains.
Mazagan Beach Resort, situated 60 miles south of Casablanca on the Atlantic coast, is perfect for those seeking luxury by the seaside. The hotel is a sight to behold, bordered by an amazing swimming pool and palm trees and overlooking the ocean and golf course.
The rooms at the Tikida Golf Palace in Agadir are particularly lavish and guests have easy access to the hotel’s own private beach as well as the three distinct courses at Golf du Soleil.
Golfers of all abilities can enjoy the course at Mazagan Beach, which is designed by nine-time major winner Gary Player. The immaculately conditioned course is challenging enough for good players while still being forgiving enough off the tee for the higher handicappers.
Away from the course, there’s loads of choice for eating (the resort boasts eight restaurants!) plus an on-site nightclub and casino. Hotel du Golf at Palmeraie is another good quality 4* resort with an on-site course, plus it’s only 15 minutes from central Marrakech.
If you fancy making the most of an all-inclusive package, then the Riu Palace Tikida is a terrific option, particularly with three golf courses to experience.
Ksar Anika Riad is a beautifully decorated hotel that offers guests supremely peaceful surroundings while being situated close to the souk and other local attractions. Terrific value for a traditional Moroccan stay.
Sofitel Essouira Mogador Golf & Spa is home to a brilliant Gary Player-designed course that is never too busy, so a great course for beginner partners. Located just south of the town itself, you can also explore the ancient city on a day off. Riu Palace Tikida represents the best value in Agadir - which is probably the most expensive Moroccan resort - with all-inclusive packages to enjoy from its beachfront location.
One of the real drawcards for golf tourists visiting Morocco is the fact there is so much to take in away from the course. There are few more pleasurable ways to spend time in Marrakech than wandering around the seemingly endless maze of markets in the Medina, with its souks and snake charmers.
Essaouira, located about a 90 minute drive west of Marrakech, is a vibrant seaside town that has been occupied since prehistoric times. There is plenty of history worth checking out in the town, not to mention the popular leisure activities of wind and kite surfing if you’re up for it. The Sofitel Essouira makes a great base to take it all in.
Morocco is great for All Inclusive golf holidays, Marrakech is the focus, courtesy of having the greatest concentration of courses, but it’s by no means your only option.

Rory plays golf at Assoufid in Marrakech, Morocco. Teeing off from the 10th Hole, Rory talks about the difference between “Championship Golf” playing from the back tees, and “Resort Golf” playing from tees more suited to your handicap.
After 26 holes over 2 courses the previous day in Marrakech, Rory was a combined 3 over par, with 23 pars on the card. Can he keep up his form on what, in theory, should be a much more demanding golf course?
