Best Time to Play Golf in Morocco, 2026
Morocco runs from the Atlantic coast at Agadir and Casablanca to the inland royal cities of Marrakech and Rabat, so its golf weather swings with both season and setting. With a long, dry season and warm winters, the country is one of the most reliable cool weather escapes in reach of Europe. Here is when to go in 2026.

A long season built around the shoulders
Morocco enjoys a long golf season anchored by warm, dry shoulder months. The coast, with Agadir, Casablanca and the Atlantic courses, stays mild and breezy year round, the daily high in Agadir moving only from the low twenties Celsius in winter to the mid twenties in summer. Inland, Marrakech and Rabat are hotter in summer and pleasantly warm in winter, so the calendar bends with where you choose to play.
For most travellers the sweet spots are spring and autumn, when mild, sunny days in the low to mid twenties suit long rounds the length of the country. High summer turns hot inland around Marrakech, best handled with early tee times, while the coast stays cooler. Winter is one of Morocco's strongest cards, with warm, sunny days, the lowest prices of the year and uncrowded fairways across the royal cities and the coast.
Spring, March to May
Among the finest golf of the year. Mild, sunny days in the low to mid twenties, courses lush after the winter, and long settled hours suit the whole country, from Marrakech and Rabat to the Atlantic coast. A natural choice for a relaxed golf trip with comfortable weather everywhere.
Summer, June to August
Hot inland, cooler on the coast. Marrakech and the interior can be intense in midsummer, so play is most comfortable early or late in the day, while the Atlantic breezes keep Agadir and Casablanca far more bearable. For warm weather golf without the inland heat, stay by the sea.
Autumn, September to November
Spring's equal. As the summer heat eases, September into November brings mild, light filled days and courses in fine condition the length of the country. Comfortable temperatures and quieter resorts after the peak make it one of the best value windows of the year.
Winter, December to February
One of Morocco's strongest seasons. Marrakech and Agadir stay warm and sunny by day, with cooler evenings, while prices fall to their lowest and fairways empty out. For a reliable winter sun and golf escape close to Europe, the royal cities and the coast are hard to beat.
