Assoufid Golf Club

Assoufid Golf Club is only 10 km from Marrakech’s UNESCO World Heritage Medina. The course was designed by Scottish former European Tour player Niall Cameron. This 18-hole, par-72 layout measures 6,440 meters. It opened in October 2014.

The course blends in with the natural landscape, with palm trees, olive groves, and cacti. Players can enjoy panoramic views of the snow-capped Atlas Mountains. The club uses little water and protects native vegetation to care for the environment.

Golfers who want to play golf in Marrakech will enjoy this course, which rewards skill and creative shots.

Assoufid Golf Club Layout and Design

The course winds through different desert features, like dry riverbeds (shaabas), waste areas, and elevation changes that test every aspect of the game. Only 45% of the terrain was planted, preserving the natural contours and maximising the mountain vistas.

Players encounter a balanced mix of risk-and-reward opportunities, with some wide fairways and others that have doglegs and carries over challenging desert zones. The wind and changes in slope make the course more challenging.

Assoufid Golf Club offers a fair but tough round of golf for players at any level.

Signature Holes at Assoufid Golf Club

Assoufid Golf Club has several memorable signature holes that set the course apart in Morocco.

Hole 17 (par 3) is the most famous: an elevated tee offers stunning panoramic views, yet demands precise distance control to carry the ball over the shaaba and avoid bunkers guarding the front and rear of the green.

The 14th hole (par 5) has a split fairway requiring pinpoint accuracy off the tee. Hole 18 (par 4) is a dogleg right with a shot uphill between olive trees. During the game, golfers must navigate visual intimidation, strategic carries, and hard-to-reach greens.

This award-winning course has been recognised multiple times as Africa’s Best Golf Course by the World Golf Awards.
