Assoufid Golf Club With memorable views of the distant Atlas Mountains, this course by Scotish designer Niall Cameron embraces the desert landscape across a challenging par-72 track. The signature is the memorable 17th, an elevated tee-box demanding a lengthy drive to clear a shaaba (dry stream) and reach the safety of the well-protected green. Green fees from £70 per 18 holes. assoufid.com
Tazegzout Golf Boasting views out over the Atlantic, Tazegzout Golf on the outskirts of Agadir plays across rolling limestone hills to offer a testing Berber-inspired track. Deep gullies provide plenty of challenge across the course, and the standout holes come towards the end where the par-four 16th and par-three 17th demand nerves of steel to come out on par. Green fees from £66. tazegzout.com
The Red, Royal Golf Dar es Salam A short drive from Rabat, this is the most challenging of three courses built by Morocco’s King Hassan II. Stretching more than 7,300 yards, it meanders between landscaped ponds and majestic stands of cork oaks. The par-three 9th is a breathtaking close to the front- nine, with an island green demanding a lengthy carry. Green fees from £50. royalgolfdaressalam.com
