Overview

Few countries let you play golf beneath the Atlas, inside the walls of an imperial city and above the Strait of Gibraltar in a single journey, and the 15 Days Golf Tour From Marrakech does all three. The route opens with golf and a guided tour in Marrakech, crosses the High Atlas to the kasbahs and gorges of the south, and spends two nights among the dunes of Erg Chebbi, with a full day to explore the Sahara.

From the desert, this grand golf tour of Morocco climbs through the Middle Atlas to Ifrane, plays the courses of Fes and Meknes, visits blue Chefchaouen, and reaches the Mediterranean at Tangier, before following the Atlantic south through Rabat and Casablanca. With up to eight rounds and every region of the country, it is the definitive Morocco golf holiday of two weeks.

Itinerary

Day 1

Arrival in Marrakech ⇢ Hotel Transfer

Two weeks across Morocco begin at Marrakech Menara Airport, where a private driver collects you and your clubs for the transfer to your hotel. The rest of the first day of the 15 Days Golf Tour From Marrakech is free.

In the evening, Jemaa el-Fnaa comes alive with storytellers, musicians and food stalls.

Day 2

Morning Golf ⇢ Marrakech City Tour

The first round begins in the cool morning air, among palm trees with the High Atlas on the horizon. In the afternoon, a licensed guide leads you to the Koutoubia Mosque, the Bahia Palace, the Saadian Tombs and the souks of the medina.

Day 3

Marrakech ⇢ Tizi n'Tichka ⇢ Ait Ben Haddou ⇢ Ouarzazate

The road climbs to the Tizi n’Tichka pass at 2,260 m, then descends to Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO-listed ksar of mud-brick towers. The day ends in Ouarzazate, the gateway to the Sahara.

Day 4

Ouarzazate ⇢ Skoura ⇢ Valley of Roses ⇢ Dades Gorges

The Road of a Thousand Kasbahs leads through the Skoura palm oasis and the Valley of Roses to the Dades Gorges, where red cliffs glow in the evening light.

Day 5

Dades ⇢ Todra Gorge ⇢ Merzouga ⇢ Desert Camp

Morning brings Todra Gorge, with limestone walls up to 300 m high. In the late afternoon, a camel caravan carries you into the dunes of Erg Chebbi for sunset, dinner and a night in a desert camp.

Day 6

Merzouga ⇢ Khamlia ⇢ Erg Chebbi Dunes ⇢ Desert Camp

A full day in the Sahara begins with sunrise over the dunes. A 4×4 circuit leads to the village of Khamlia, where Gnawa musicians perform a hypnotic tradition of drums and iron castanets, and to a nomad family’s tent for mint tea.

The afternoon is free to rest or sandboard before a second sunset over Erg Chebbi and another night in the desert camp, a rare pause in this grand golf tour of Morocco.

Day 7

Merzouga ⇢ Ziz Valley ⇢ Midelt

Day 8

Midelt ⇢ Ifrane ⇢ Afternoon Golf ⇢ Fes

The road climbs to Ifrane in the Middle Atlas, where an afternoon round at around 1,600 m, among cedars and oaks, offers cool mountain air. In the evening, you arrive in Fes for two nights.

Day 9

Morning Golf ⇢ Fes City Tour

A morning round in the hills around Fes is followed by a guided afternoon in Fes el-Bali, with the Bou Inania Madrasa, the Al Quaraouiyine, founded in 859, and the Chouara Tannery.

Day 10

Fes ⇢ Morning Golf in Meknes ⇢ Chefchaouen

In Meknes, the royal golf course is laid out inside the walls of Sultan Moulay Ismail’s imperial city, beside the royal palace, one of the most unusual settings for golf anywhere. After the round, the road climbs into the Rif Mountains to Chefchaouen, the blue city founded in 1471.

Day 11

Chefchaouen ⇢ Tetouan ⇢ Tangier ⇢ Afternoon Golf

After a morning walk in the blue lanes, the road passes Tetouan, a UNESCO-listed medina of white houses and Andalusian gateways, before reaching Tangier. In the afternoon, play one of the oldest golf clubs in Morocco, set among pines and eucalyptus near the city.

Day 12

Tangier City Tour ⇢ Cap Spartel ⇢ Rabat

A guided morning reveals the Kasbah, the Grand Socco and the American Legation, before a visit to Cap Spartel, where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean, and the Caves of Hercules. The coast road then leads south to Rabat for the night.

Day 13

Morning Golf ⇢ Rabat City Tour ⇢ Casablanca

The morning round is played at the Royal Golf Dar Es Salam, designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. in a forest of cork oaks and home of the Hassan II Trophy, the highlight of this Morocco golf holiday of two weeks. After lunch, visit the Hassan Tower, the Mausoleum of Mohammed V and the Kasbah of the Udayas, before the drive to Casablanca.

Day 14

Morning Golf ⇢ Hassan II Mosque

A morning round on a coastal course near Casablanca is followed by a guided visit of the Hassan II Mosque, built partly over the ocean with a 210 m minaret, one of the few mosques in Morocco open to non-Muslim visitors.

Day 15

Golf or Marrakech Transfer for Departure

The final day offers a last round in Casablanca or a private transfer to Marrakech, about 3 hours away, for your departure. The 15 Days Golf Tour From Marrakech ends at the airport of your choice.
