Tee off on Morocco’ s Golden Triangle
Offering more than 35 golf courses to choose from, most of them located in clusters around key cities and holiday resorts, Morocco is the perfect destination for a golf holiday in the sun. Morocco is not only easy to get to, with frequent flights to its major cities from airports around Europe that typically take just two or three hours, it is also now easier than ever to get around. Fast, new motorways have dramatically cut travel times, allowing for twin-centre or multiple-destination itineraries without golfers spending too much time on the road. Thanks to the country’ s growing network of toll expressways, golf itineraries combining its so-called Golden Triangle of Marrakech, Agadir and Essaouira are becoming increasingly popular and are being offered by more golf tour operators.
