Golf in Morocco

Morocco is Europe's exotic winter-sun golf neighbour — a short hop across the strait, led by Royal Golf Dar Es Salam, Robert Trent Jones Sr.'s cork-forest masterpiece and long-time home of the Hassan II Trophy.

Mild year-round; spring (Mar–May) & autumn (Sep–Nov) ideal; a close winter-sun escape

Morocco is one of Europe's most underrated winter-golf escapes — a short flight across the strait, a mild Atlantic climate, and a golf history that runs back to a king who loved the game. Its crown jewel is Royal Golf Dar Es Salam in the capital, Rabat: Robert Trent Jones Sr.'s championship course laid out through a vast cork-oak forest, complete with a Roman-columned island green.

We start with Royal Golf Dar Es Salam, and will build out from there.
