Morocco’s Top-Rated, Atlas-Hugged Golf Courses


If you don’t have a ticket to the 2015 Master’s Golf Tournament underway this week in Augusta, Georgia, there’s always Morocco. Rain is expected almost every day this week in Augusta anyway, according to CBSSports.

Golf has been in existence in Morocco since 1917 and yet it has not been recognized by Europeans as the place to be. Morocco can be a year-round golf destination in North Africa just a quick flight from Europe. It is typically affordable and accessible.

Great climate, fascinating landscapes — golfing at the foot of snow-covered Atlas Mountains —  and a diversity of golf courses, some designed by world renowned architects, are just a few of the attractions for golfers in Morocco.

Morocco won the African Golf Destinations of the Year Award in 2010 from the International Association of Golf Tour Operators.

Here are a few reasons why. Check out some of Morocco’s top-rated, Atlas-hugged golf courses.
