Sure, there’s Scotland, Ireland, Portugal … but there’s a new golf destination quietly emerging somewhere even the most seasoned golf travelers may not expect: Morocco!

With more than 40 championship-caliber golf courses, year-round sunshine and luxury resorts, Morocco offers greens, greens and more greens. Spend the morning on courses designed by some of the world’s leading architects, wander through an ancient medina in the afternoon and end the day at a traditional hammam or feasting on fresh food overlooking the Atlantic.

Morocco has spent years investing in golf tourism, seeking out internationally respected designers and creating courses that both challenge experienced players and make for enjoyable days for golfers of all skill levels.

Expect everything from the palm-lined fairways of Marrakech, Atlantic Ocean views in Agadir, and elegant courses surrounding Rabat and Casablanca. Most courses are located on or near luxury hotels and resorts, allowing guests to combine golf and a relaxing vacation.

Earlier this year, Morocco hosted both the Hassan II Trophy and the Lalla Meryem Cup in the same week at Royal Golf Dar Es Salam in Rabat, highlighting the destination’s commitment to the sport.

Even better, Morocco allows golfers to experience world-class golf courses without some of the premium price tags you’d typically find at some of the world’s best-known courses and destinations. Across many Moroccan courses, tee times are often priced lower than comparable courses in Europe and North America.
