Golf du Palais Royal

Few settings in Moroccan golf match the ambiance of Golf du Palais Royal, a course that takes its name from its proximity to the royal palace grounds on the Atlantic edge of Agadir. The layout occupies a landscape shaped by centuries of Saharan wind and the meeting of desert and ocean — palm groves, flowering oleander, and the kind of warm, dry air that makes year-round golf genuinely comfortable here rather than a marketing promise.

Agadir rebuilt itself almost entirely after the catastrophic 1960 earthquake, and the city that emerged became Morocco's premier beach resort, drawing European visitors throughout the winter months when courses farther north can turn soft and grey. Golf du Palais Royal fits that resort context well — a course designed to reward a relaxed, scenic round rather than grind players into submission, though the Agadir breeze coming off the Atlantic can turn straightforward holes into something more demanding without warning.

Morocco has invested heavily in golf tourism as part of its national identity, and Agadir sits alongside Marrakech and Agadir's surrounding Souss plain as one of the country's genuine golfing destinations for visiting Europeans seeking sun and fairways in the same trip.
