Golf Breaks & Holidays in Morocco

Morocco is a brilliant choice if you want your golf holiday to feel like a real getaway. The courses are excellent, but there is also plenty to enjoy once you have finished your round, from Marrakech’s rooftop restaurants to long, sunny afternoons on the Atlantic coast.

While the golf is a huge part of the appeal, Morocco offers much more than great courses. Between rounds, you can explore Marrakech’s colourful souks, enjoy dinner on a rooftop terrace, relax in a traditional hammam or spend an afternoon by the ocean.

It is this blend of golf, culture and relaxation that continues to make Morocco one of the most popular golf holiday destinations for UK golfers.

Which Part of Morocco Is Right for You?

One of the great things about Morocco is the variety of experiences available within a relatively small area.

Marrakech is usually our recommendation for first-time visitors. It offers the widest choice of golf courses, luxury hotels, restaurants and nightlife, making it ideal for golfers who want plenty to do away from the fairways.

Agadir and Taghazout sit along the same stretch of Atlantic coastline, with Taghazout located around 20 minutes north of Agadir. Together they offer sunshine, beaches and a more relaxed pace, making them particularly popular for winter golf holidays.

Essaouira appeals to golfers looking for a quieter coastal destination with plenty of character, while El Jadida is perfect for those seeking a luxury resort experience where everything is conveniently located in one place.

Why Golfers Love Marrakech

Marrakech is Morocco’s main golf destination and the best choice if you want variety in one trip. With the Atlas Mountains as a backdrop, it offers a strong mix of championship golf, luxury hotels, lively evenings and plenty to enjoy away from the course.

Some of the most popular Marrakech golf courses include:

Al Maaden Golf Course
A stylish modern course with strong design and memorable views.

Royal Golf de Marrakech
One of Morocco’s classic courses, known for its history and character.

Samanah Golf & Country Club
A Nicklaus Design course with a championship feel and Atlas Mountain views.

Fairmont Royal Palm Golf & Country Club
A luxury golf experience with excellent conditioning and a scenic setting.

For hotels, Kenzi Menara Palace and Mövenpick Hotel Mansour Eddahbi Marrakech are strong city-based options with easy access to several Marrakech courses. Pickalbatros Hotel du Golf is a good choice if you prefer a resort-style stay close to Golf Club Palmeraie.

Why Golfers Love Agadir & Taghazout

Agadir and Taghazout are ideal if you want winter sunshine, beachside relaxation and easy golf. The two resorts sit close together on Morocco’s Atlantic coast, with Taghazout around 20 minutes north of Agadir.

Some of the most popular Agadir and Taghazout golf courses include:

Golf du Soleil
A well-known Agadir golf venue and a natural pairing with Tikida Golf Palace.

Golf Tazegzout
A standout coastal course with superb Atlantic views near Taghazout.

Golf Les Dunes
A long-standing Agadir favourite with a relaxed resort feel.

Golf de L’Ocean
A scenic and enjoyable course close to Agadir’s main resort hotels.

For hotels, Tikida Golf Palace is one of the best golf-focused options in Agadir, especially for Golf du Soleil. Hyatt Place Taghazout Bay is ideal for golfers who want to stay close to Golf Tazegzout, while Iberostar Founty Beach is a strong beachfront choice.

Why Golfers Love Essaouira

Essaouira offers a quieter and more relaxed side of Morocco. The coastline is beautiful, the pace is slower than Marrakech and the destination works especially well for couples.

The highlight here is Golf de Mogador, one of Morocco’s most highly regarded golf courses. Combined with a stay at Sofitel Essaouira Mogador Golf & Spa, it creates an excellent option for golfers looking for a stylish coastal escape.

Why Golfers Love El Jadida

El Jadida is all about effortless luxury. It is ideal for golfers who want everything conveniently located within a single resort.

The combination of Mazagan Beach Resort and Mazagan Golf Course creates one of Morocco’s premier golf holiday experiences. With five-star facilities, ocean views and championship golf on your doorstep, it is easy to see why it remains one of the country’s flagship golf resorts.

Beyond the Golf Course

Golf may be the reason you first consider Morocco, but it is often everything else that brings golfers back.

In Marrakech, you can lose yourself in the medina, browse artisan markets, sample traditional Moroccan cuisine or enjoy dinner overlooking the city skyline.

Along the coast, Agadir and Taghazout offer long sandy beaches, ocean views and a laid-back atmosphere that makes it easy to switch off and relax.

Essaouira combines a charming old town with a working harbour and Atlantic scenery, while El Jadida offers an effortless luxury resort experience.

Whether you are travelling as a couple, with friends or as part of a larger golf group, Morocco delivers far more than great golf. It is a destination that combines memorable courses with sunshine, culture, relaxation and experiences that stay with you long after the final round.
