Who this trip suits
Marrakech is the most atmospheric value golf trip within easy reach of Europe. A handful of genuinely good modern courses sit beneath the High Atlas, the green fees are a fraction of the Algarve or Dubai, and the city itself, with its riads, souks and dining, gives non golfers a reason to come too.
- Value seekers who want strong courses and a luxury feel without Dubai or Algarve prices.
- Mixed groups where some play and some prefer the souks, the spa and the food.
- Winter golfers chasing a short haul sun trip from October to April.
- Couples after a riad and a round, with the city as the real headline.
The courses to build around
Every fact below was checked at the time of writing. Green fees are indicative and seasonal, so treat them as a guide rather than a quote.
Amelkis
A mature Cabell Robinson design east of the city, all water hazards and big bunkers, long a favorite of touring pros wintering in Morocco.
Al Maaden
A modern Kyle Phillips layout woven through olive groves and water, with the Atlas as a constant backdrop and notable contemporary art on site.
Assoufid
A desert style course in the foothills with some of the finest mountain views of any round in the city, peaceful and beautifully routed.
Royal Golf Marrakech
The oldest club in Morocco, opened in 1923 and once played by Churchill and Eisenhower, lined with cypress, palm and orange trees.
Samanah
A Jack Nicklaus design across a large private estate west of the city, generous and immaculately kept with full resort facilities.
PalmGolf Palmeraie
A classic Trent Jones layout among thousands of palms in the Palmeraie, the course that first put Marrakech golf on the map.
A sample structure
One way to shape the week. We tune the order to your tee times, hotel and handicaps, never the other way around.
Arrive and settle into a riad or resort. An easy first round at PalmGolf Palmeraie or Royal Golf Marrakech to ease in, then a first evening in the medina.
Al Maaden in the morning for its art, water and mountain views, followed by a long lunch and an afternoon in the souks.
Assoufid for the best Atlas panoramas of the trip, then a spa afternoon or a hammam before dinner.
Amelkis for the headline round, with a rest day for a day trip to the mountains or the coast at Essaouira, and a final evening over Moroccan food.

Best time to go and to book
Play from October to April, when daytime temperatures are warm rather than fierce and the Atlas often still wears snow. Spring, roughly March to May, and autumn, September to November, are the prettiest and most comfortable. Summer is very hot and best avoided for golf. Courses are rarely as crowded as the Algarve, so two to four weeks ahead is usually enough for tee times, though premium riads over Christmas, New Year and Easter book up early.
