Assoufid Golf Club

Overview: Assoufid Golf Club in Marrakech, Morocco, is an 18-hole championship course known for its desert-style layout and its breathtaking views of the Atlas Mountains. Designed by Scottish architect and former European Tour player Niall Cameron and opened in 2014, the course is a masterclass in strategic and environmentally conscious design. Winding through a natural landscape of undulating desert terrain and native flora, the course offers a visceral and technically demanding round that rewards precision and course management over raw power.

History: The development of Assoufid was a major addition to Marrakech’s luxury golf portfolio, aimed at creating a course that felt both grand and sustainable. Cameron sought to integrate the layout seamlessly into the desert ecosystem, utilizing natural wadis and drought-tolerant turf to minimize environmental impact while creating a rigorous championship test. Since its opening, it has received numerous awards, including Africa's Best Golf Course at the World Golf Awards, and has established itself as a "must-play" destination for serious enthusiasts visiting Morocco.
