Morocco’s Atlantic coastline offers a captivating alternative to the desert heat of Marrakech, providing stunning seaside resort golf that can be enjoyed year round. The resort town of Agadir is a fantastic, purpose built destination for leisure travelers. Here, you find the Tazegzout Golf Course, a Kyle Phillips design perched 250 feet above the Atlantic Ocean, guaranteeing spectacular ocean views from every hole on the course. Further north, near Casablanca, the Mazagan Beach & Golf Resort offers a challenging, true links style course designed by Gary Player that stretches along the coastline. These coastal resorts are generally more relaxed, often operating on an all inclusive basis, and provide the cooling influence of the Atlantic breeze, making them highly desirable, low stress options.

Ideal Timing in the Imperial Cities

The key to a successful golf vacation in Morocco is to avoid the extreme heat of the deep summer. The best times to visit are the spring (March to May) and the fall (September to November). During these months, the weather is warm and dry, with comfortable daytime temperatures, ideal for a full round on the desert courses without being overwhelmed by the heat. Traveling during the peak summer months, especially July and August, means temperatures often exceed 100 degrees inland, making very early morning or late afternoon tee times mandatory. The coastal areas, like Agadir, remain much milder year round, offering a reliable choice even in the height of summer.

Luxury Riad and Desert Resort Stays

Moroccan hospitality is globally renowned, and its golf resorts beautifully integrate modern luxury with traditional, stunning Moroccan architecture. In Marrakech, you can choose between staying at a sprawling resort like the Fairmont Royal Palm, featuring villas, an award winning spa, and multiple dining venues, or experiencing the intimate luxury of a Riad in the city center, offering beautiful interior courtyards and personalized service. The coastal resorts, like the Riu Palace Tikida Agadir, often utilize a premium all inclusive format, providing seamless dining and entertainment options after your round. These luxurious accommodations serve as a serene sanctuary, a welcome contrast to the vibrant, stimulating atmosphere of the nearby cities.

The non-golf appeal of Morocco is deeply rooted in its ancient culture, offering a sensory overload that no traveler should miss. For visitors based in Marrakech, exploring the UNESCO World Heritage site Djemaa el Fna square and the labyrinthine alleyways of the Souks is essential for shopping and experiencing the local life. A mandatory relaxation activity is the traditional Moroccan Hammam and Spa experience. For adventure, booking a Desert Safari is a must, where you can ride camels or quad bikes through the golden sand dunes of the nearby Agafay Desert, an easy day trip from Marrakech. The coastal areas offer surfing lessons, deep sea fishing, and relaxing catamaran trips, ensuring plenty of activity for everyone in your group.
