Morocco has become one of the most appealing golf destinations in the Mediterranean and North Africa region, with dozens of courses set against palm groves, ocean cliffs and the snow-capped Atlas. Sunshine for most of the year and reasonable green fees make it easy to combine golf with sightseeing.
Here is a look at the main golf regions and how to plan a trip around them.
Marrakech is the most popular base for golfers. Royal Golf de Marrakech, founded in 1923, is among the oldest courses in the country, with tree-lined fairways and mountain views. Amelkis and Al Maaden offer modern layouts in resort settings, and the Palmeraie area has several courses close to luxury hotels and riads.
Royal Golf Dar Es Salam near Rabat is one of Morocco's most prestigious venues, home to the Hassan II Trophy and the Lalla Meryem Cup, with multiple championship courses set in cork-oak forest.

Agadir has a cluster of resort courses within a short drive, and the Atlantic coast climate keeps it mild through winter. Further north, Mazagan Golf Course near El Jadida is a links-style design by Gary Player beside the ocean.
Autumn to spring is ideal for most of the country. In summer, Marrakech can be too hot for comfortable play in the afternoon, so early tee times matter. Agadir and the coast remain more temperate.
Golfers often pair rounds with a visit to the medina, a night in the Agafay desert or the Sahara, and a day in the Atlas. A private driver handles transfers with your clubs, books tee times and plans non-golfing days for companions.
Marrakech is the most popular base because of its concentration of courses and luxury accommodation, while Agadir is excellent for winter sun.
