Mazagan Golf Course

Furthermore, the Mazagan golf course opens its arms to players of all abilities, and disregards their handicap as there are multiple tee off options on offer. Amateur players are further benefitted as many holes on this course boast wide fairways, therefore any wayward shots can be somewhat forgiven.

A signature hole of the Mazagan golf course includes the par 4 440-yard-long 6th hole, which requires uphill play and your full concentration. Here the course’s coastal location comes into play; despite offering stunning views of the ocean, the prevailing winds can be somewhat threatening, especially when trying to carry your tee shot over sand dunes to a fairway containing four strategically placed bunkers. The challenge is then intensified with a long approach shot to be played onto a raised green lined with three deep bunkers. If you fall into these bunkers, you must not be too reliant on any sand saves! Yet the challenge is all made worth it with the breath-taking panoramic views of the coast and course on the putting green.

Caddies are compulsory in Morocco and on some courses, that applies even if you hire a buggy. Fees are paid locally with the minimum amount being 100 Dirhams (£8.00) however if your caddy has done a good job then you are expected to pay 150 – 200 Dirhams. Please allow for this extra cost when you’re planning your golf holiday to Morocco.
