The Best Golf for Couples in Morocco

Morocco is one of the most romantic golf escapes within easy reach of Europe: lush courses framed by the snow capped Atlas, five star riads and resorts, hammam spas and the colour of Marrakech, with the Atlantic coast at Agadir for beach days. Here are the seven resorts we rate most highly for two, ranked.

How we chose them

A couples golf trip is judged on the whole experience, not just the card. We looked for Moroccan courses where the golf is genuinely good but the setting and the stay are special: Atlas Mountain backdrops, a destination spa or hammam, dining and culture worth a day off the fairways, and a course playable enough that a higher handicap partner enjoys the round. Most of the best sit beside, or close to, a luxury resort.

Every designer and opening year here was checked at the time of writing, and all seven welcome visitors, several with stay and play packages built for two. The verdicts and the order are ours, weighted toward romance and the whole escape as much as championship difficulty. If you want a Moroccan golf and culture trip built and costed for a couple, that is exactly what our concierge does.

The ranking

01

Fairmont Royal Palm Marrakech

Cabell Robinson · Marrakech · five star spa resort, Atlas views

The benchmark couples golf resort in Morocco, a five star Fairmont set in olive groves and palm gardens twenty minutes from the Marrakech medina, with a polished Cabell Robinson course running toward the snow capped Atlas. A vast spa, several restaurants and beautiful grounds give a non golfing partner every reason to stay, while the golf is scenic, generous and immaculately kept. For a romantic stay where the golf is the bonus rather than the whole point, nothing in the country does it better.

02

Amelkis Golf Club

Cabell Robinson · Marrakech · 27 holes near luxury hotels

One of Marrakech's most established courses, Amelkis is a 27 hole Cabell Robinson layout of palms, water and red earth bunkering with the Atlas filling the horizon. It sits among some of the city's finest villas and hotels, so a couple can pair a morning round with an afternoon at a luxury riad or pool. Mature, well conditioned and varied across its three nines, it is a reliably enjoyable round and an easy centrepiece for a Marrakech golf and culture break.

03

Tazegzout Golf, Agadir

Kyle Phillips, 2014 · Taghazout, Agadir · clifftop resort by the Atlantic

The standout course on the Atlantic coast, Kyle Phillips routed Tazegzout along the cliffs above Taghazout Bay through native argan trees, with the ocean in view from almost every hole. It belongs to a Fairmont resort, so beach, surf, spa and golf come in one stay, and the milder coastal climate makes it the best summer option in Morocco. For a couple who want sea air and a top class modern course alongside it, Agadir's clifftop gem is the pick.

04

Royal Golf Dar Es Salam, Red Course

Robert Trent Jones Sr, 1971 · Rabat · cork forest championship course

The grand old tournament course of Morocco, the Red at Royal Golf Dar Es Salam is a Robert Trent Jones Senior design carved through a mature cork oak forest in the royal capital, host of the Trophee Hassan II since it opened. It is the most prestigious round in the country and a serious test of golf, set in a calm, leafy parkland a world away from the desert courses. Pair it with the history and coast of Rabat for a more cultured, grown up couples trip.

05

Al Maaden Golf

Kyle Phillips, 2010 · Marrakech · design led course by the Park Hyatt

A striking, modern Kyle Phillips design on the edge of Marrakech, Al Maaden marries the spirit of a Moroccan oasis with a links sensibility, all big lakes, bold bunkering and uninterrupted Atlas views, with contemporary art dotted around the estate. The neighbouring Park Hyatt makes it a slick, design led base for a couple who appreciate architecture and style. The golf is strong and the whole place feels current, calm and beautifully put together.

06

The Tony Jacklin Marrakech

Tony Jacklin, 2016 · Marrakech · 27 hole desert style complex

The major champion and Ryder Cup captain Tony Jacklin lent his name and eye to this 27 hole complex on the outskirts of Marrakech, a modern desert style layout of sand, water and generous fairways that opened in 2016. It is forgiving enough for a mixed ability couple to enjoy, with the Atlas as a constant backdrop and a relaxed, contemporary clubhouse. A good value, good fun round that slots neatly into a Marrakech week.

07

Assoufid Golf Club

Niall Cameron, 2014 · Marrakech · eco desert course, Atlas views

The most natural and arguably the most beautiful course in Marrakech, Assoufid was laid out by Niall Cameron across rolling desert with only a fraction of it planted, so native dunes and scrub frame the holes and the Atlas dominates the views. The stylish clubhouse and restaurant make it a lovely spot to linger after the round. Quiet, scenic and a little wild, it is the connoisseur's pick for a couple who want golf and a sense of place.

Morocco couples golf questions

What is the best golf resort for couples in Morocco?

Fairmont Royal Palm near Marrakech is widely rated the best golf resort for couples in Morocco, a five star hotel with a Cabell Robinson course, a destination spa and Atlas Mountain views. Amelkis in Marrakech and the clifftop Tazegzout near Agadir are the other standout romantic golf bases.

Is Marrakech or Agadir better for a couples golf trip to Morocco?

Marrakech has the greatest concentration of courses and the romance of riads, the medina and Atlas views, making it the classic couples base. Agadir, on the Atlantic coast, adds beaches and milder summer weather, with the clifftop Tazegzout the standout course. Many couples combine a few nights in each.

When is the best time for a couples golf trip to Morocco?

Spring, from March to May, and autumn, from October to November, are ideal in Marrakech, with warm, dry days and cooler evenings. Marrakech summers are very hot, so coastal Agadir is the better summer choice. Winter is mild and a popular escape, with the occasional cold morning inland.
