Who this trip suits
A luxury golf tour of Morocco works because the golf comes wrapped in one of the great sensory destinations on earth, and all of it sits a short flight from Europe. Marrakech alone holds more than ten courses against the backdrop of the snow capped High Atlas, and Rabat adds Royal Golf Dar Es Salam, a Robert Trent Jones design that has hosted professional golf since 1971. The hotels are the other half of the appeal: La Mamounia, the Royal Mansour and a collection of the finest riads in the world turn a few rounds of winter sun golf into a genuinely opulent week.
This page is written for travellers who want the best of Morocco's golf and its hospitality in one trip. It covers the courses to build around, the hotels that define a luxury stay, a sample structure, indicative costs, the best time to travel and how to get it organised through a single point of contact.
- Golfers who want a winter sun escape from Europe with five star hotels and short, reliable flights.
- Couples and small groups who value the culture, the food and the spas as much as the golf.
- Players chasing the marquee names, from Royal Golf Dar Es Salam to the desert drama of Assoufid.
- Travellers who want the very top hotels, the Royal Mansour and La Mamounia, folded into the itinerary.
- Anyone who prefers a hand built tour with a driver, guaranteed tee times and a single concierge over self drive.

The courses and hotels to build around
Morocco's luxury golf splits between Marrakech, the country's golf capital, and Rabat, home to its championship course, with the Atlantic coast as a stylish extension. Green fees below are indicative for the 2026 season; always confirm directly before booking.
Royal Golf Dar Es Salam
The country's championship course, a Robert Trent Jones design opened in 1971 and routed through a cork oak forest, with the famous par 3 played to an island green. The Red Course is the marquee round, supported by the Blue and Green. A host of professional tour golf for over half a century.
Assoufid, Marrakech
A striking desert course laid out across open sand with olive and palm planting, framed by uninterrupted views of the High Atlas. Voted the best new course in Africa on opening, it is Marrakech's most dramatic and most photographed round.
Amelkis, Marrakech
A Cabell Robinson design opened in 1995, 27 holes spread across three nine hole loops at the foot of the Atlas, with mature palms, water and a long pedigree of hosting events. A polished, established Marrakech round.
La Mamounia and the Royal Mansour
Two of the most celebrated hotels in the world anchor a luxury Marrakech stay: the storied La Mamounia with its legendary gardens, and the Royal Mansour, a palace of private riads built at the wish of the king. The defining five star bases for the trip.
Mazagan and the Atlantic coast
A Gary Player links on the Atlantic coast near El Jadida, with sweeping ocean dunes and a large beach resort, a cooler, breezier change of pace from the inland courses and an easy add on for a coastal finish.
The culture and the Atlas
Between rounds, Marrakech offers the medina and the souks, hammams and spas, rooftop dining and day trips into the Atlas valleys and Berber villages, the non golf programme that makes Morocco a tour rather than a golf break.
A sample structure: 7 nights of luxury
The structure below pairs the marquee golf around Marrakech with a Rabat excursion for Dar Es Salam and an optional coastal finish, all from five star bases. Every element can be tuned to your hotels, your pace and your group.
Arrive Marrakech, around three to four hours from most of Europe. Transfer to La Mamounia or the Royal Mansour, settle in, an evening in the medina and dinner on a rooftop terrace.
Golf at Assoufid, the most dramatic round in Marrakech, with the Atlas as a backdrop. Afternoon at the hotel spa or a guided walk through the souks.
A round at Amelkis or Al Maaden, followed by a long lunch and a hammam. Evening at leisure in the city.
A non golf day: a day trip into the High Atlas, the Ourika Valley and a Berber village, or the gardens and galleries of Marrakech, the Majorelle and the Yves Saint Laurent museum.
Travel to Rabat for the marquee round on the Red Course at Royal Golf Dar Es Salam, with an overnight in the capital, or a long day excursion with a return to Marrakech.
Optional Atlantic coast leg: a round on Gary Player's links at Mazagan and a night by the ocean, or a final relaxed round at the historic Royal Golf Marrakech.
A final morning of shopping, spa or a last nine, then depart Marrakech. Late checkout arranged where the flight allows.
Agadir variation: base the second half of the trip on the coast at Agadir for the Kyle Phillips links at Tazegzout and the warm Atlantic, a milder alternative to the inland heat.

Best time to go and to book
Morocco's inland golf is a winter sun destination, and the timing is the reverse of northern Europe's: the cool months are the prime months.
Peak season (October to April) is the window for Marrakech and Rabat, warm and dry by day, comfortable in the evenings, with the snow on the Atlas as a backdrop. December to February is glorious winter sun, and the busiest, so secure the top hotels and tee times well ahead.
Shoulder months (May and September) are warmer but still very playable, with fewer crowds and better value at the hotels, particularly for early starts before the midday heat builds.
Summer (June to August) is very hot inland, often well into the high 30s Celsius, so golf is a dawn activity and the Atlantic coast at Mazagan or Agadir becomes the smarter base for its cooling ocean breeze.
When to book: for a peak winter tour with the top hotels, request rooms and tee times three to six months ahead, as the Royal Mansour and La Mamounia sell out their best suites early. A concierge can lock the hotels and the golf together for your dates.

Morocco luxury golf tours, answered
Is Morocco a good destination for a luxury golf tour?
Morocco is one of the most rewarding luxury golf destinations within easy reach of Europe. Marrakech alone has more than ten courses, including Assoufid, Amelkis and Royal Golf Marrakech, set against the snow capped Atlas mountains, and Rabat is home to Royal Golf Dar Es Salam, a Robert Trent Jones design that has hosted tour golf since 1971. The golf pairs with some of the finest hotels in the world, from La Mamounia to the Royal Mansour, plus riads, spas and the culture of the souks, making it a true luxury trip rather than golf alone.
Which are the best golf courses in Morocco?
The Red Course at Royal Golf Dar Es Salam in Rabat, a Robert Trent Jones design from 1971, is the most celebrated tournament course in the country. Around Marrakech, Assoufid is a dramatic desert course with Atlas views that was named the best new course in Africa on opening, Amelkis is a Cabell Robinson design of 27 holes, and Al Maaden, Samanah and the historic Royal Golf Marrakech complete a deep field. On the Atlantic coast, Gary Player's links at Mazagan and the Kyle Phillips course at Tazegzout near Agadir add coastal variety.
When is the best time for a Morocco golf tour?
The prime season for golf in Morocco runs from October to April, when Marrakech and Rabat are warm and dry by day with comfortable evenings, a genuine winter sun escape from northern Europe. The Atlas mountains hold snow through this period, which makes for spectacular backdrops in Marrakech. Summer, from June to August, is very hot inland, often well into the high 30s Celsius, so golf is best played at dawn or on the cooler Atlantic coast. Spring and autumn are ideal.
How much does a luxury golf tour of Morocco cost?
Indicative 2026 green fees at the leading Marrakech and Rabat courses run from around €80 to €150 per round. The cost of a luxury tour is driven mainly by the hotels: a week at five star riads and resorts with several rounds, transfers and a driver typically lands from around €4,000 to €10,000 or more per person, rising sharply for stays at the very top properties such as the Royal Mansour. All figures are indicative and third party; always confirm directly before booking.
