Golf Tourism England was delighted to welcome the enthusiastic support of Visit Morocco at the convention. The North African nation is already riding a wave of global attention in the build-up to hosting the 2030 FIFA World Cup, a landmark event that is driving an era of transformation. Across the country, ambitious infrastructure projects are taking shape — from world-class stadiums and high-speed rail links to enhanced airports and luxury accommodation — all designed to welcome a new generation of global travellers.
Golf sits firmly within this vision. Morocco’s courses, many designed by renowned architects, are carefully integrated into the country’s varied landscapes — from spectacular coastal fairways to palm-lined valleys, desert fringes, and mountain foothills. This diversity ensures that every golfing journey in Morocco offers a distinctive blend of challenge, beauty, and cultural immersion.
“As sponsors of the GTE Convention, we are proud to join the conversation on growing golf travel. Morocco offers nearly 45 courses across coastal, desert and forest landscapes — just under four hours from the UK — with year-round sunshine and world-class hospitality. Some of the top UK golf tour operators are reporting 50 to 60% growth in golfer arrivals to Morocco — it’s booming.” Meryem Bennouna, Director UK, Ireland & Nordic Countries, Moroccan National Tourist Office.
Beyond the fairways, Morocco delivers an experience that lingers long after the final putt. Visitors can explore vibrant souks, relax in luxury resorts, discover ancient cities like Marrakech and Fez, and savour world-class cuisine infused with spices and flavours unique to the region. Combined with the country’s rapidly expanding tourism infrastructure and the global spotlight of the 2030 World Cup, Morocco is perfectly positioned to claim its place as one of the world’s most intriguing emerging golf destinations.
For adventurous golfers seeking something different — a blend of exceptional play, dramatic scenery, and rich cultural heritage — Morocco offers a compelling invitation to discover golf with a truly exotic twist.
