Golf de l'Ocean
Belt Collins laid Golf de l'Ocean out on the edge of the Bensergao forest just south of Agadir, opening in December 2009. It runs 27 holes across three contrasting nines, the Dunes, the Garden and the Desert, that combine into par 72 eighteens over roughly 90 hectares of sand, water and eucalyptus, and welcomes visitors every day at a green fee around MAD 650 in 2026.

The verdict
Golf de l'Ocean is the most varied golf in Agadir, a 27 hole Belt Collins layout that opened in December 2009 on the sandy ground between the city and the Atlantic. Three distinct nines, the Dunes, the Garden and the Desert, let you build a different eighteen each time you tee it up, and the rotation keeps a week of play here interesting in a way the single resort courses nearby cannot.
It is not the longest or the most championship of the Agadir trio, but it is the most characterful. The Dunes runs over rolling, links style sand, the Garden is gentler and threaded with water, and the Desert delivers the sternest test with an uphill par 4 to remember. Conditioning is reliable, the setting among eucalyptus, tamarisk and palm is quiet, and access is easy, which makes it a natural anchor for a Souss valley golf week paired with Tazegzout and Golf du Soleil.

The holes worth the trip
The pleasure of Golf de l'Ocean is the contrast between its three loops. The Dunes nine is the one most golfers remember, tumbling over undulating sandy terrain with the ball running on firm turf and the breeze off the Atlantic asking you to flight your irons. It plays like a softened links and rewards a low, controlled ball into the small targets.
The Garden nine is the calmest of the three, laid more evenly across the property and built around a large water hazard that gathers a loose tee shot and frames several approaches. It is the place to make a score, provided you respect the carries and keep dry. Belt Collins routed it to give the higher handicapper a fair passage while still asking the better player to commit.
The Desert nine is the sternest, drier and more exposed, with an uphill par 4 that bites into the round and greens that repel anything short. Combine any two of the loops and you get a balanced par 72 of real variety, which is exactly why a stay and play here rarely feels repetitive. Plot your way around, manage the wind, and the three nines give back some of the most enjoyable golf on the Souss coast.

Where to stay nearby
Most visiting golfers base themselves along the Agadir beachfront and the marina, a wide sweep of sand backed by four and five star hotels within fifteen minutes of the first tee. The mild Atlantic climate makes Agadir a winter sun favorite, and the city is geared to travelers who want golf by day and easy dining by night.
It is a strong region to build a multi course week around, pairing Golf de l'Ocean with the cliff top drama of Tazegzout up the coast and the established Golf du Soleil nearby. An Agadir base keeps all three within an easy drive and leaves the rest of the Souss valley open for a longer tour.
