A golden anniversary in Rabat, and steady value beyond
Morocco's headline in 2026 is a milestone. The Hassan II Golf Trophy, founded in 1971 by the late King Hassan II and now part of the PGA Tour Champions schedule, reaches its 50th edition at Royal Golf Dar Es Salam in Rabat from 18 to 24 May 2026, with the Lalla Meryem Cup running alongside. The Asian Tour backed International Series also returns to Rabat for a fourth edition in partnership with the national tourism office, ONMT. The throughline is a deliberate state strategy to position Morocco as a leading golf destination across the wider region, and that ambition shapes how the country prices its courses.
On the ground, Morocco remains one of the better value warm weather options for European golfers. Published visitor green fees broadly sit between about USD90 and USD180, with Assoufid in Marrakech around USD120 and the Gary Player designed course at Mazagan near El Jadida around USD100. Royal Golf Dar Es Salam, set across 440 hectares of cork oak forest and laid out by Robert Trent Jones Sr, offers 45 holes over its Red, Blue and Green courses and is the historic showpiece. Marrakech is the practical hub, with Assoufid, Amelkis and Al Maaden inside a short drive of the medina.

Our take
For the travelling golfer, Morocco in 2026 is a value play with one big calendar moment. If watching the game is the draw, the 50th Hassan II Trophy in late May puts the PGA Tour Champions field on the Robert Trent Jones forest at Royal Golf Dar Es Salam, a genuine occasion in a beautiful setting. If playing is the point, target the cool winter months from roughly October to April, when Marrakech delivers reliable sunshine and three or four strong courses within half an hour of a riad.
Marrakech remains the smartest base for a first Morocco trip. Assoufid gives the desert drama, Amelkis and Al Maaden round out an easy rotation, and the fees stay sensible by European standards while the city carries the evenings. Pair it with a coastal day at Mazagan if you want sea air, or build the whole week around Rabat in tournament season. The trend for 2026 is steady pricing and rising profile, which is exactly the moment to go before the rest of Europe catches on.
For the wider picture, our companion studies track green fee inflation across the great courses and rank the best value golf destinations for 2026.
