Golf du Soleil – Tikida Course

Located in Agadir, the Tikida Course was designed by Fernando Muela and first opened as a nine-hole course in 1999 before being extended to 18 holes in 2006.

Together with the neighbouring Championship Course, it forms the 36-hole Golf du Soleil complex, giving golfers two contrasting layouts to enjoy during the same holiday.

While the Championship Course is longer and more open, the Tikida Course is shorter, narrower and more technical.

Known as ‘The Little Garden’ after being nicknamed by golfers themselves, it winds through the surrounding forest of eucalyptus and tamarisk trees, creating a peaceful setting that’s ideal for golfers who enjoy plotting their way around the course.

It’s often described as the perfect course to sharpen your iron play, with tighter fairways, well-protected greens and strategic bunkering placing accuracy ahead of distance.

Discover the Layout

The Tikida Course offers a completely different experience to the Championship Course.

The front nine weave through natural valleys and woodland, with narrower fairways demanding careful placement from the tee.

The back nine become slightly more open, but well-positioned bunkers and protected greens continue to reward golfers who think their way around the course rather than simply relying on power.

Nearby Hotels

Tikida Golf Palace sits within the Golf du Soleil estate, offering direct access to both the Tikida and Championship courses. With boutique-style accommodation overlooking the fairways, it’s the perfect base for golfers looking to experience both layouts during the same stay.

Iberostar Waves Founty Beach is another popular option, combining comfortable beachfront accommodation with convenient golf transfers.

Best Time to Play

Agadir enjoys a warm climate and more than 300 days of sunshine each year, making the Tikida Course an excellent choice throughout the seasons.

Spring and autumn offer particularly comfortable temperatures, while the mild winter climate attracts golfers looking to escape colder weather elsewhere in Europe.
