HUNDRED YEARS OF HISTORY

Players will enjoy a high diversity of golf courses, in terms of landscape as well as playing techniques.
Morocco is celebrating hundred years of friendship between golf and the Kingdom of Morocco. The first greens, which appeared in Tangier in 1914, were designed by the famous British architects Cotton & Pennink.
In 1930, the second golf course of the Kingdom was born: the Royal Golf of Mohammedia: still very British and in the purest Scottish tradition. Three years earlier in 1927, the Marrakech Pacha imagined the Royal Golf of Marrakech, which was finally established in 1933.
These three courses represented in the 30’s the very essence of golfing in Morocco and it took time for new golf courses to be built. Morocco started at the beginning of the 70’s a large-scale golf program, inspired by the visionary late King, Hassan II. He launched the largest golf course in the Kingdom, the Dar Es Salam Golf Course: 45 holes designed by Robert Trent Jones Senior. While the prestigious Hassan II Golf Trophy was used as a powerful advertising medium internationally to put Morocco’s golf to the forefront.
Golf in Marrakech kept developing ever since, to become a full-fledged tourism niche product with famous golf destinations. Today, 38 golf courses are spread out onto the entire Moroccan territory and amateurs will soon be able to walk the greens of about 45 golf courses throughout the country by 2020.
