Detailed Itinerary
Marrakech
Day 1: Dive into vibrant Marrakech
Your 12-day Moroccan golfing adventure begins here! Arrive into Marrakech and transfer from the airport to your riad in the city centre.
After relaxing for a while, head out to explore the famed Jemaa El Fnaa Square, hustling with acrobats and storytellers as they perform alongside the vibrant souks. Meander along the food stalls in the square - though there is a strong influence from the French in popular dishes such as cooked garlic snails, there is also a lot of traditional food to be sampled. In the winter months, why not try a spiced coffee made with a secret recipe including cloves and cinnamon.

Day 2: A day of history & golf in Marrakech
Today, discover the delights of Marrakech on a guided city tour. First you'll stop at the Majorelle Gardens to admire the former home of French artist Jacques Majorelle, filled with cobalt-blue paintwork and unique flora. Next, head inside the rose-coloured medina to explore the tangle of winding streets and alleys, opening onto verdant gardens and bustling souks. A whirlwhind of emotions is guaranteed!
In the afternoon, you'll take a 15-20-minute transfer to the Atlas Golf Course for a leisurely round. The nine-hole course was beautifully designed by Alain Prat to stay in harmony with the colours and styles of southern Morocco, and offers perfect respite from the city buzz.

Spend the day savouring the landscape of the Royal Golf Marrakech, a fantastic course with manicured gardens and more than 15,000 trees, located about 10-15 minutes away from your accommodation.
You'll feel deeply immersed in nature as you relax and challenge yourself to this 27-hole course, one of the oldest in Morocco and visited by King Hassan II and Winston Churchill. Top the day off with a special, traditional Berber dinner, before returning to your accommodation for an overnight stay.

Day 4: Journey to the coast!
Leave Marrakech behind today as you journey to the city of Casablanca, across the mountains that surround Marrakech and past the plains near the coast. Visit the great Hassan II Mosque, one of the biggest mosques in the world that was partially built over the sea. Casablanca itself offers a lovely blend of tradition and modernity, and is a hub of architectural delight.
You'll then travel down the coast to explore the city of El Jadida - home to an impressive Portuguese fortress and beachfront. Spend the evening at leisure here, finding your bearings or simply relaxing at your accommodation.
El Jadida
Day 5: Tee off in Mazagan
You'll have the day to enjoy the golf course of Mazagan, designed by Gary Player and located 25-30 minutes from your accommodation. It's the longest course in North Africa, and offers great views over the coast.
In the afternoon, you could either play another round or visit El Jadida's UNESCO-listed Portuguese Cistern, alongside the city's historic fortifications.
El Jadida - Essaouira
Day 6: A day of exploring in Essaouira
Your golf adventure continues as you travel for around four hours to the scenic city of Essaouira, well-known for its photogenic harbour and fortifications.

With the sound of the ocean and the tranquillity of nature all around you, you're sure to enjoy an unforgettable experience here.
Return to Essaouira afterwards for a laid-back evening, perhaps spent tucking into seafood before returning to your accommodation.
Essaouira - Agadir
Day 8: En-route to Agadir!
Leave Essaouira behind today as you travel for about three hours to your next port of call: Agadir. Located at the end of the High Atlas Mountains, it's a grand place to enjoy and lose yourself in, whether you're deep-diving into its expansive Souk El Had, touring the medina, or trying your hand at a range of water sports on the beach. Along the way, you'll also stop at Imouzzer, the Moroccan capital of honey production, from where you'll take a short walk to scenic waterfalls.
Agadir
Day 9: Paradise golfing in Agadir

A delight for beginners and experienced golfers alike, it benefits from a coastal climate and is plasant for year-round play.
