New and Modern Golf in Morocco: 2026
Morocco has quietly built one of the strongest golf scenes in North Africa, around 40 courses clustered near Marrakech, Agadir, Rabat and Casablanca, with a new generation of clifftop and desert layouts leading the way. For 2026 the story is the modern courses worth crossing the water for. Here is what to know.

The headline: a maturing golf destination
Morocco is not a country of constant new openings, but its modern courses have transformed its standing. The newest generation, led by clifftop and desert designs near Agadir and Marrakech, sits alongside historic clubs to give a traveling golfer real range within a short drive. The clusters around Marrakech, Agadir, Rabat and Casablanca make it easy to play several courses in a single week without long transfers.
The appeal for 2026 is warm winter golf a short flight from Europe, with the High Atlas as a backdrop and a strong tourism infrastructure built around it. Morocco rewards the golfer looking for something a little different from the established Mediterranean destinations.
The courses that lead the way
The standout modern course is Tazegzout Golf near Agadir, opened in 2014 on a site 250 feet above the Atlantic, a par 72 of around 6,730 metres that winds through natural argan vegetation and builds to a dramatic finish along the edge of an 80 metre cliff. It is the most spectacular round in the country.
Around it sits a deep supporting cast. Royal Golf Dar Es Salam in Rabat, host of the long running Hassan II Trophy, is the historic championship venue, the Marrakech Royal Golf Club dates to 1927 with views of the Atlas, and modern Marrakech courses such as Assoufid add desert style golf near the city. Together they make Morocco a genuine multi course destination.
How to plan it for 2026
Agadir and Marrakech are the two natural bases, each with a cluster of courses and good flight links from Europe, and the two cities are an easy add to a single trip. A common 2026 plan splits a week between the Atlantic coast golf around Agadir, including Tazegzout, and the city and desert courses of Marrakech.
The prime season runs from autumn through spring, when the weather is warm but not fierce, while high summer inland can be very hot. Treat any quoted green fee as indicative for 2026, and always confirm directly before booking.
Our take
Our take is that Morocco is one of the most rewarding warm weather golf escapes within reach of Europe, with Tazegzout the spectacular modern centrepiece and a strong, varied supporting cast across Agadir, Marrakech and Rabat.
Go in the cooler half of the year, split a week between the coast and Marrakech, and treat Morocco as the under the radar alternative to the usual Mediterranean golf trip.
