Mogador Golf Club Essaouira

Mogador Golf Club is a bold 36-hole complex designed by Gary Player on the Atlantic coast near the charming port city of Essaouira. Opened in 2009, the facility comprises two 18-hole courses that offer distinctly different yet equally compelling playing experiences. The first course is a classic links-style layout where the relentless Atlantic trade winds -- the famous Essaouira alizee -- are as much a feature as the bunkers and water hazards. The second course weaves through stands of indigenous argan trees, creating a more sheltered parkland feel while still demanding precise shot-making. Player designed both courses to integrate seamlessly with the coastal ecosystem, preserving native plant species and creating wildlife corridors that add ecological value to the golfing experience. The dramatic clubhouse overlooks both courses and the distant ocean, offering a dining experience that showcases the celebrated seafood of Essaouira. For golfers who enjoy the challenge of wind-affected links golf combined with a culturally rich destination, Mogador is an exceptional choice that pairs perfectly with exploration of Essaouira's UNESCO-listed medina.
