Green Fees in Marrakesh: What It Costs to Play in 2026
No golf city pairs snow capped mountains and 70 dollar green fees quite like Marrakesh. In 2026, 700 dirhams plays you all day at Amelkis under the Atlas, 1,100 buys the desert theater of Assoufid, and even the Fairmont Royal Palm's high season rate of 1,400, about 140 dollars, would barely cover a cart fee at the equivalent course in Arizona. Here is the dirham by dirham table.

How Marrakesh pricing works
Marrakesh golf splits into three tiers. The estate courses around the Palmeraie and the Route de l'Ourika, led by Amelkis and Al Maaden, sell rounds from roughly 700 to 950 dirhams and compete hard for tee times, which keeps prices honest. The destination courses, Assoufid in the desert to the southwest and the Fairmont Royal Palm on the Amizmiz road, charge 1,100 to 1,400 and earn it with conditioning and setting. And the Royal Golf Marrakech, founded in 1923 and once played by Churchill and Eisenhower, sits in its own category: 1,200 dirhams to walk the city's history under ancient olives.
Two cost quirks matter. First, caddies: cheap, excellent and in places mandatory, with the Royal Palm requiring a 200 dirham forecaddie per group, cash, paid directly. Second, seasons run opposite to Europe's: high season spans October to June, and the low season cards of July to early October cut headline fees by 40 percent in exchange for serious heat. Every fee includes Morocco's polish, range balls at the Royal Palm, mint tea on arrival more often than not.

Fees are indicative, per player, including Moroccan VAT where applicable. Samanah, Noria, the Montgomerie and PalmGolf Ourika round out the city's tee sheets at broadly similar mid market rates. We do not quote our own pricing; always confirm directly before booking. Check tee time availability.
Where the value hides
Build a three course city break
Marrakesh is the rare destination where the whole golf week costs less than one trophy round elsewhere. The smart sequence is Assoufid for the golf, Amelkis or Al Maaden for the value day, and the Royal Palm or Royal Golf Marrakech for the occasion, a lineup that totals around 3,200 to 3,700 dirhams in green fees, under 400 dollars. Stay in a riad in the medina or at a golf estate hotel; our Morocco destination guide maps the neighborhoods and the Morocco golf holidays page costs the full week to the head.
Chase the shoulder months, tip in cash
March to May and late September to November are the sweet spots: high season conditioning without midsummer's furnace or the Christmas and Easter room rates. If you do come in summer, book the 7am slots and the low season card makes Marrakesh almost free by resort golf standards. Carry small notes everywhere; caddies, cart staff and bag handlers work on cash, and 100 to 150 dirhams a round is a fair tip. Marrakesh also pairs naturally with the coast: compare the fee math against Mauritius if you are weighing a winter sun shortlist, browse our best courses in Morocco ranking, and our recommended Marrakesh stays cover where to sleep.

Marrakesh green fee questions
How much does golf cost in Marrakesh?
Between roughly 700 and 1,400 Moroccan dirhams for 18 holes in 2026, about 70 to 140 dollars. Amelkis publishes a 700 dirham day rate, the historic Royal Golf Marrakech lists 1,200, desert built Assoufid charges 1,100 on its card valid to September 2026, and the Fairmont Royal Palm tops the market at 1,400 in high season, dropping to 850 in summer. All rates indicative; always confirm directly before booking.
Do I need a caddie in Marrakesh?
Often, and it is part of the experience. The Fairmont Royal Palm requires at least one forecaddie per group at 200 dirhams a round, paid in cash to the caddie. Elsewhere caddies are optional and cheap by global standards, around 150 dirhams at Amelkis and 250 at Assoufid for 18 holes, plus tip. Carts run about 400 to 450 dirhams and are worth reserving ahead in summer heat.
When is the cheapest time to play golf in Marrakesh?
July to early October, when courses publish low season cards. The Fairmont Royal Palm drops from 1,400 dirhams to 850 for a prime morning 18, and twilight rates fall further. The catch is heat, regularly above 100 Fahrenheit in midsummer, so play at first light. The premium windows are October to May, when the weather is the reason Marrakesh exists as a golf city: 70s, dry, with snow on the Atlas behind every green.
Which Marrakesh course is best for a first visit?
For pure golf, Assoufid: a Niall Cameron desert design from 2014 that plays firm and fast with the Atlas Mountains filling the horizon, at 1,100 dirhams. For atmosphere, Royal Golf Marrakech, founded 1923, where you play under olive and eucalyptus on the city's oldest course. For a one resort trip, the Fairmont Royal Palm pairs Cabell Robinson's 75 hectare course with the best golf hotel in the region. Confirm access and rates before you travel.
