Golf in Morocco: Marrakech or Agadir? A Guide to Exotic Winter Golf
Morocco is the golf destination you didn’t know you needed. Golf with the snow-capped Atlas Mountains in the background. Colorful souks after your rounds. Tagine for dinner under the stars.
There are direct flights from Copenhagen, and Morocco is in almost the same time zone as Denmark. Yet it feels like a whole other world. Verti Golf Tours offers golf trips to Marrakech and Agadir that include flights, 7 nights, and 5 rounds of golf starting at 11,995 kr.
Why go on a golf trip to Morocco?
The Exotic: Arab culture, Berber traditions, and colors and scents you won’t find anywhere else in Europe.
The Courses: World-class designers such as Jack Nicklaus (Samanah), Kyle Phillips (Al Maaden and Taghazout Bay), and Colin Montgomerie have designed courses in Morocco.
The Atlas Mountains: In winter, snow covers the peaks behind the courses in Marrakech. It’s something you’ll never forget.
