Located in the beautiful historic port city of Essaouira on Morocco’s Atlantic coastline, the newly completed 18-hole golf course at Golf de Mogador was recently opened (Gary Player Signature Course).

This golf course was created by the famous South African Gary Player. Player was quoted as saying, “I am blown away by the beauty of what we have created here in Essaouira, and my greatest hope is that the course increases tourism and creates jobs for the warm and gracious people of Morocco.”

With the focus on building a golf course where players will have fun while challenging their skills, the design of the new golf course has made good use of the existing sand dunes and vegetation to minimize the environmental impact, and the result has been nothing short of amazing. With scenic ocean views, generous fairways, and good putting surfaces to counterbalance seasonal windy conditions, the Golf de Mogador is a course that players of all levels will enjoy.

Keen golfers who grab the opportunity to play a game at Golf de Mogador in Essaouira should also take some time to explore the beautiful town and its many attractions, including the fascinating Medina, previously known Mogador and now a UNESCO World Heritage Site of cultural and historical significance.
