My Personal Tips
- Book in advance - Especially if you're planning to attend or play around tournament dates
- Pack for varied weather - While Morocco is sunny most of the year, mornings can be cool, especially near the coast
- Embrace the culture - Between rounds, treat yourself to authentic Moroccan cuisine and explore local markets
- Hire a caddie - Local knowledge is invaluable at around $10-$30 per round (mandatory at some courses)
- Consider equipment rentals - Rather than traveling with your clubs, rentals cost $25-$50 per round
- Budget for extras - Golf cart rentals ($20-$50) and lessons with a pro ($50-$100/hour) are available at most courses
