Not only is Marrakech one of Morocco’s most sought-after tourist destinations but it boasts some of the country’s best golf courses. Backed by the (often) snow-capped peaks of the Atlas Mountains, the scenery in the city’s surroundings is nothing short of spectacular - perfect for leisurely hours spent strolling the fairways and greens.
While you could stay at a riad in the medina and commute to Marrakech’s golf courses each day, there’s also the option to stay right on their doorstep. Whether you want to tee off at the Royal Golf Marrakech or experience the Kyle Phillips-designed course at Al Maaden, there are some incredibly comfortable (dare I say indulgent) accommodation options overlooking the greens.
In this article, I’ll introduce 5 of the best golf hotels and resorts in Marrakech, including family-friendly options with kids’ clubs and luxurious retreats where absolutely no detail has been overlooked.
