Overview
Atlas-view fairways, the medina and riad evenings in five nights.
Marrakech is under seven hours from Dubai and unlike anywhere else you will play golf: courses laid against the snow-line of the High Atlas, caddies who have worked the same fairways for decades, and a city behind the tee sheet that turns every non-golf hour into an event. Royal Golf Marrakech has hosted kings and Churchill since the 1920s; Assoufid brings modern desert-links design with the best Atlas views in golf; Al Maaden threads contemporary art into its water-lined layout.
Five nights makes a complete trip: three rounds, a full medina day, and an optional Atlas foothills excursion to Berber villages an hour out. Stay in a riad inside the walls for atmosphere or a palmeraie resort for space — we brief you honestly on the trade-offs. Caddies are customary in Morocco and add genuinely to the round; green fees here remain some of the best value in premium golf.
- Assoufid’s desert-links fairways facing the High Atlas snow line
- Royal Golf Marrakech — century-old golf under the olive trees
- Al Maaden’s water-lined modern layout dotted with sculpture
- A full day in the medina — souks, Bahia Palace, Jemaa el-Fna at dusk
- Riad or palmeraie-resort living, briefed honestly
Who it suits
- Golfers who want the trip to be about more than golf
- Couples pairing three rounds with souks, gardens and hammams
- Winter-sun seekers wanting somewhere with texture, not just a pool
Why it works
- Three distinct course characters — historic, desert-links, contemporary
- October to April conditions are ideal while northern Europe shivers
- Moroccan green fees and caddie culture deliver premium golf at sane cost

Itinerary
- Day 1
Dubai to the Red City
Fly from Dubai — direct where seasonal schedules operate, otherwise one short connection — and land amid the palmeraie. Check in, mint tea on the roof terrace, first dinner overlooking Jemaa el-Fna as the food stalls light up. Hotel style: boutique riad or five-star palmeraie resort.
- Day 2
Royal Golf Marrakech
History first: the 1920s royal course through olive and cypress, where the game feels older than the scorecard. Your caddie will know every borrow. Afternoon by the pool or a first souk reconnaissance.
- Day 3
Medina day
No golf. A guided morning through the souks and the Bahia Palace, lunch on a terrace, then Jardin Majorelle and the Yves Saint Laurent museum in the softer afternoon light. Dusk belongs to Jemaa el-Fna — storytellers, snail stalls and all.
- Day 4
Assoufid
The modern masterpiece: Assoufid’s rumpled desert fairways with the Atlas snow line behind every approach shot. Widely rated Morocco’s best contemporary course. Sunset drinks at the clubhouse are obligatory.
- Day 5
Al Maaden, farewell Marrakech
Closing round at Al Maaden among the contemporary sculptures and Atlas-fed water channels. Optional swap: skip the round for an Atlas foothills excursion to Berber villages and a tagine lunch. Farewell dinner in a riad restaurant — book the rooftop.
- Day 6
Home
Morning at leisure — a last hammam is the right way to leave — then the flight back to Dubai.

When to go
October to April is the Marrakech golf season — sunny days in the high teens to mid-twenties, with the Atlas often snow-capped for the postcard backdrop. July and August exceed forty degrees and are best avoided for golf. Ramadan alters city rhythms rather than course access; we advise on dates each year.
