4 Day Morocco Imperial Cities Golf Itinerary
Morocco's imperial cities pair some of North Africa's best golf with the souks, palaces and medinas of Marrakech, Rabat and Fez. This four day plan plays two rounds around Marrakech, the championship Red Course at Royal Dar Es Salam in Rabat, and a gentler round in medieval Fez, traveling north by car or train. Here is the trip, with indicative 2026 green fees and drive times.

Who this trip suits
This is the golfer's grand tour of Morocco, four days that move from Marrakech up through Rabat to Fez, mixing serious championship golf with the history and theatre of three of the great imperial cities. It suits a couple or a group who want more than a single base, who like the idea of a round in the morning and a medina, a riad and a long dinner in the evening, and who are happy to travel between cities. The golf is warm and reliable from autumn to spring, the food and the culture are extraordinary, and a non golfing partner will never be short of things to do.
The two things that shape the trip are how you travel and the season. Morocco's cities are linked by good motorways and a modern rail network, but most golf groups take a private car and driver so the clubs travel with them and the tee times stay flexible. Play from October to April for warm, settled golf and comfortable sightseeing, avoiding the fierce inland heat of high summer. Get those right and four days here feel like a proper expedition rather than a quick hit.
The 4 day plan
Amelkis Golf, Marrakech
Open in Marrakech at Amelkis, a polished Cabell Robinson layout set at the foot of the Atlas Mountains with the snow capped peaks on the horizon. Mature, well watered and a regular tournament host, it is the smooth introduction to Moroccan golf at an indicative 60 to 85 euro, with the medina, the gardens and the rooftop restaurants of Marrakech for the evening.
PalmGolf Marrakech Palmeraie
A second Marrakech round on the Robert Trent Jones Senior course in the Palmeraie, threading lakes, palms and bunkering with the High Atlas as a backdrop. Generous and scenic, it is a fine second day at an indicative 55 to 80 euro before you travel north. Allow about three and a half hours by car or train to Rabat in the afternoon.
Royal Golf Dar Es Salam, Red Course
The centrepiece of the trip, the championship Red Course laid out by Robert Trent Jones Senior through a vast cork oak forest outside Rabat, host of the Hassan II Trophy since 1971. The par three over a lake to an island green ringed by ancient cork oaks is one of the world's great short holes. The premium round of the week at an indicative 80 to 110 euro.
Royal Golf de Fes
Finish in the medieval city of Fez, about two and a half hours from Rabat, with a relaxed round at Royal Golf de Fes, a parkland layout of olive groves and water set against the hills. Quieter and the best value of the trip at an indicative 40 to 60 euro, it leaves the afternoon for the great medieval medina, the oldest in the world, before you fly home from Fes Saiss.

When to go and how to travel
Play Morocco from October to April for warm, settled golf and comfortable sightseeing, with the inland cities of Marrakech and Fez fiercely hot in high summer and best played early if you go then. For this touring route, a private car and driver is the easy choice, keeping your clubs with you and the tee times flexible across the three cities, though the modern train network is a comfortable alternative on the Marrakech to Rabat leg. Base in a riad in each city to feel the place, leave the afternoons for the medinas and the food, and build in a rest day if you want to slow the pace. Always confirm rates and availability before booking.
