Some golf trips are about the golf. This one is about everything else too, and that’s exactly the point.
Golf & Tours runs a fully escorted, small-group golf holiday through Morocco: 12 days, 11 nights, five rounds on courses ranked among the country’s best, and enough of Marrakech, Atlas Mountains and Atlantic coastline in between to make this feel less like a golf trip and more like a complete Moroccan adventure. Open to golfers of all skill levels, and to non-golfing partners who’d rather spend the day at the souks or the spa, the tour is a vehicle to reinvigorate your wonderust and spirit of adventure.
Why Morocco?
Most golfers who have ventured overseas have played Spain, Portugal, maybe Ireland, Scotland or New Zealand. Morocco is the one golfing destination still flying under the radar, and that’s part of its appeal. You get championship golf carved out of desert and mountain landscapes, hotels that blend French luxury with Moroccan design, and a culture that fuses Arabian, African and European all at once, and that’s unlike anywhere else you’ll swing a club.
Golf & Tours typically runs this tour in March or November, two of the best times of year to visit. Expect mild days in the 20–25°C range, snow still dusting the peaks of the Atlas Mountains in the distance, and coastal towns like Essaouira and Agadir catching a fresh Atlantic breeze. It’s shoulder season too, so the medinas are lively without the crowds of summer.
The route itself does a lot of the work: six nights based in Marrakech for the historic golf, the incredible Souk, the market on which all other markets around the world are judged and the city’s vibrant culture, then a transfer west to the coast for five nights of resort golf and beach time in Agadir. Two very different sides of Morocco, in one trip.
The Golf
Five rounds, five very different characters, all played with a shared motorised cart.
Royal Golf Marrakech (Old Course) opens the tour, the second-oldest course in Morocco, first played in 1927, and once a favourite of Winston Churchill and General Eisenhower. The cypress, eucalyptus, palm and olive-lined fairways look much as they did nearly a century ago, framed by the snow-capped Atlas Mountains.
Assoufid Golf Club, ranked #5 in Morocco, is a par-72 desert-style layout with real teeth, the par-four 5th is one of the toughest on the card, and the par-three 17th plays from the highest point on the course with panoramic views over the back nine.
Al Maaden Golf Club trades desert drama for something more sculptural: palm-lined fairways, geometric water basins and monumental sculptures set against the Atlas backdrop, built for golfers of every level.
After the transfer to the coast, Taghazout Golf Course (ranked #6) closes with three unforgettable holes that play over rocky ravines and along the edge of an 80-metre cliff above the Atlantic. And Golf du Soleil, a former Ladies European Tour venue, rounds things out with a beautifully bunkered layout through landscaped gardens and eucalyptus forest.
There’s a running golf competition throughout the tour with daily prizes, so the friendly rivalry doesn’t let up between rounds.
Beyond the Fairways
The non-golf days are where this tour earns the “cultural” in its billing. In Marrakech, a full-day guided city tour takes in the pink-walled medina, the Majorelle Garden, the Yves Saint Laurent and Berber Museums, and the medieval Medersa ben Youssef.
A full day in the Atlas Mountains includes a visit with a local Berber family and lunch with mountain views. On the way to the coast, there’s free time to wander Essaouira’s fortified medina and fishing port before continuing to Taghazout Bay.
Once on the coast, the pace eases: a day at leisure to enjoy the resort, and on the final full day, the option of a hammam ritual, a surf lesson, or simply time by the pool before the farewell dinner.
Hosted the Whole Way
This is a fully escorted tour, not a self-guided itinerary with a few extras bolted on. Your host is with the group from the Welcome Dinner on night one through to the Farewell Dinner on the last, and joins you for optional dinners along the way at local restaurants, a good excuse to try somewhere new most nights of the trip. All golf, sightseeing and airport transfers are arranged as a group, so there’s nothing to organise once you land in Marrakech beyond deciding how many of the optional extras you want to join.
It’s a format that suits couples and solo travellers equally well. Non-golfers are genuinely catered for too, between the guided city tours, the Atlas Mountains excursion, the free time in Essaouira and the resort days on the coast, there’s a full holiday happening alongside the golf, not just a program of waiting around at the clubhouse.
Where You’ll Stay
Six nights at Hôtel & Ryads Barrière Le Naoura Marrakech, a five-star property just steps from the Medina and Jemaa El-Fna square, with full-service spa, indoor and outdoor pools.
Then five nights at Fairmont Taghazout Bay, right on the sand near Taghazout Beach, with sea-facing rooms and fresh seafood dining after a day on the course.
