Overview

From the Strait of Gibraltar to the Sahara and back to the Atlantic, the 15 Days Golf Tour From Casablanca traces the whole country in a single circle, with golf in six cities along the way. After rounds in Casablanca and at the royal Dar Es Salam course in Rabat, the road heads north to Tangier, then through Tetouan and blue Chefchaouen to the Roman ruins of Volubilis, imperial Meknes and Fes.

The second half of this grand golf tour of Morocco plays the mountain course of Ifrane, descends to a night in the dunes of Erg Chebbi, follows the gorges and kasbahs of the south to Ait Ben Haddou, and finishes with golf in Marrakech before the return to Casablanca. Complete and unhurried, it is the definitive two week golf holiday in Morocco.

The round trip lets you fly in and out of Mohammed V International Airport, often at a lower fare than an open-jaw ticket, and avoids an early drive on departure day.

Your clubs stay in the private vehicle with the driver while you ride to the desert camp with a small overnight bag.

Do I need a handicap certificate?

Several royal courses ask for a handicap card or certificate. We recommend bringing proof of your handicap for all rounds.

What is the best season for this tour?

October to May is ideal across all regions. In winter, Ifrane can be cold or snowy and desert nights are chilly, so warm layers are essential.
