5 Day Marrakech Golf Itinerary
Few cities pair golf and culture as well as Marrakech, where nearly a dozen courses sit within half an hour of the medina, played against the snow capped Atlas Mountains and followed by an evening in the souks. This five day route works through the best of them, from the historic Royal Golf to the dramatic desert holes of Assoufid, all from a single city base and at green fees that shame most of Europe. Here is the plan, with indicative 2026 fees and drive times.

Who this trip suits
This is the golf and culture trip, ideal for a group or a couple who want excellent, varied courses by day and one of the world's great cities by night. Marrakech clusters its golf so tightly that every transfer is short, leaving the afternoons free for the medina, the riads and the rooftop terraces, and the standard of the courses, several of them genuinely strategic championship layouts, surprises first time visitors. The setting is the star: palm groves, red earth, desert scrub and, on a clear winter morning, the white wall of the High Atlas filling the horizon.
It suits players of all levels and most budgets, with green fees a fraction of comparable European golf and packages cutting the cost further. The main decisions are the season, with the cool half of the year far the most comfortable, and how much culture to weave in around the golf. Set up in one riad or resort and the whole week falls into place.
The 5 day plan
Royal Golf de Marrakech
Open with the grand old course of the city, Royal Golf de Marrakech, founded in 1923 and the oldest in Morocco, later extended to twenty seven holes by Cabell Robinson. A mature parkland of towering palms, olive and eucalyptus where Churchill and Eisenhower once played, it is gentle, atmospheric and steeped in history, the perfect, unhurried start to the week. Indicative 2026 green fees are around 60 to 90 euros.
Amelkis Golf Club
On to Amelkis, a mature and well regarded Cabell Robinson layout of twenty seven holes set among olive groves and ochre kasbah style clubhouses, long a favourite of touring professionals wintering in the city. Generous off the tee but demanding around its firm greens, with the Atlas as a constant backdrop, it is a proper championship test in a beautiful setting. Indicative 2026 green fees are around 60 to 90 euros.
Al Maaden Golf Resort
To the most strategic course on the route, Al Maaden, a modern Kyle Phillips design, the architect of Kingsbarns, that uses water, contemporary sculpture and bold contouring to frame a thinking player's round. Spacious and beautifully presented with the Koutoubia minaret and the Atlas in view, it is many visitors' favourite in Marrakech. Indicative 2026 green fees are around 60 to 90 euros.
Assoufid Golf Club
The most dramatic day of the trip, Assoufid, a striking desert course of green fairways cut through natural scrub and red dunes with uninterrupted views to the snow capped Atlas. Quiet, wild and superbly conditioned, it feels a world away from the city just minutes down the road, and is regularly rated among the best courses in the country. Indicative 2026 green fees are around 70 to 110 euros.
PalmGolf Marrakech, Palmeraie
Close the week in the famous Palmeraie, the palm grove on the city's edge, at PalmGolf Marrakech, a relaxed resort course winding among thousands of palms with water in play and the mountains beyond. After four firmer tests it is a pleasant, scenic finish, and the surrounding resort makes an easy base for the trip. At an indicative 55 to 85 euros it underlines how much golf value Marrakech offers. Always confirm current rates before booking.

When to go and where to stay
Play between October and April for the prime season, when the days are warm and dry, the mornings cool and the Atlas often white with snow, accepting peak rates over the winter holidays, and avoid high summer unless you tee off at dawn, when it is far cheaper but very hot. Marrakech rewards a choice between two styles of base: a traditional riad inside the medina for the full cultural immersion, a short transfer from every course, or a golf resort such as those in the Palmeraie or near Amelkis for golf on the doorstep. Either way the drives are short, leaving long afternoons for the souks, the gardens and the rooftop dinners. Always confirm current rates and availability before booking.

Marrakech itinerary questions
What is the best 5 day Marrakech golf itinerary?
Marrakech packs nearly a dozen courses within thirty minutes of the medina, so one city base covers the lot. Open at the historic Royal Golf de Marrakech, then play Amelkis, Al Maaden, Assoufid and PalmGolf Marrakech, a mix of palm grove parkland, Kyle Phillips strategy and dramatic desert golf against the snow capped Atlas Mountains. Short transfers leave the afternoons for the souks. Always confirm current tee times and fees directly before booking.
How much does a 5 day Marrakech golf trip cost in green fees?
Marrakech is excellent value, with indicative 2026 green fees mostly in a 50 to 90 euro band and a ceiling around 120 euros at the marquee courses, so five rounds add up to roughly 350 to 500 euros per golfer, a fraction of a comparable European trip. Most visitors play on a package that bundles the rounds with a riad or resort and transfers for less again. These are indicative figures, so always confirm current fees directly before booking.
When is the best time to play golf in Marrakech?
Autumn to spring, roughly October to April, is the prime golf season in Marrakech, with warm, dry days, cool mornings and the Atlas often snow capped on the skyline, which is also the peak season for rates. High summer is very hot, best played at dawn and far cheaper. The courses stay green and well kept year round thanks to careful irrigation. Always confirm current seasonal rates and availability directly before booking.
Which is the best golf course in Marrakech?
Opinion divides between Assoufid, a dramatic desert course set against the Atlas Mountains, Al Maaden, a modern and strategic Kyle Phillips design dotted with contemporary art and water, and Amelkis, a mature 27 hole layout by Cabell Robinson. Royal Golf de Marrakech, dating from 1923 and Morocco's oldest, carries the history. A five day trip is the ideal way to play all of them and judge for yourself. Always confirm current access before booking.
