Mazagan Beach & Golf Resort

Roughly an hour south of Casablanca on Morocco's Atlantic coast, Mazagan Beach & Golf Resort pairs several kilometres of sandy shoreline with a Gary Player-designed links-style course, giving it big skies and sea air rather than a built-up resort feel. The course runs alongside the ocean with generous fairways off the tee, but the coastal wind is the real defence, especially on the holes closest to the shoreline, and large greens plus sandy waste areas keep things interesting for stronger players once conditions toughen up. Accommodation is in modern hotel-style rooms and suites, many with sea or pool views, and the dining line-up is a genuine strength, spanning Moroccan, Mediterranean and international options across several restaurants and bars. Beyond golf, there's a spa, generous pool areas, a casino and beach activities, making it a workable choice for mixed groups where not everyone plays every day.
