Golf du Soleil – Championship Course

Located in Agadir, the Championship Course is the flagship layout at Golf du Soleil. Designed by Gérard Courbin and Fernando Muela, it first opened in 1999 before undergoing an extensive renovation in 2019, enhancing the greens, bunkering and overall playing conditions.

While the Championship Course rewards confident driving and strategic course management, the neighbouring Tikida Course offers a different challenge with a shorter, more technical layout that places greater emphasis on accuracy. Together, the two courses create one of Agadir’s best 36-hole golf experiences.

When to Visit

With over 300 days of sunshine each year, Agadir is an excellent year-round golf destination. Spring and autumn offer particularly comfortable temperatures, while the mild winter climate makes it a favourite escape for golfers looking to enjoy sunshine when courses elsewhere in Europe are at their wettest.

What to Do Off the Golf Course

When you’re not on the fairways, unwind on Agadir’s wide sandy beach, explore the bustling Souk El Had, enjoy fresh seafood at the marina or take in the panoramic views from Agadir Oufella. A traditional Moroccan hammam is also the perfect way to relax after your round.
