About Golf du Soleil Golf Course

Golf du Soleil in Agadir is one of Morocco's most popular and accessible resort courses, occupying a prime location in the Souss-Massa plain south of Agadir where North Africa's most developed golf region meets the Atlantic coast. Designed by American architect Cabell Robinson and developed as a 27-hole facility, the course offers a generous parkland experience with wide fairways, palm trees, and immaculate irrigation-fed turf that belies the surrounding semi-arid Moroccan landscape. The Agadir region has developed into North Africa's primary golf destination, drawing European visitors — especially from France, Germany, and Scandinavia — who combine winter golf in Morocco's mild Atlantic climate with the cultural appeal of a North African destination. Golf du Soleil's accessibility (directly served by international flights from Europe), affordable green fees by European standards, and high-quality resort hotels in Agadir make it the perfect introduction to Moroccan golf. The course is open to all visitors with no membership requirement, making it the most inclusive option in a destination better known for exclusive private clubs.

— History

History of Golf du Soleil

Golf du Soleil was commissioned in the early 1990s as part of Morocco's strategic development of the Agadir region as a European-accessible winter golf destination. American architect Cabell Robinson — who had extensive experience designing resort courses in Spain and Portugal — was engaged to create a 27-hole facility that would serve the international resort hotels along Agadir's beachfront. The course opened in 1994 and quickly became one of Morocco's most visited golf facilities, attracting the French, Scandinavian, and German package-holiday visitors who had established Agadir as Morocco's most accessible beach and leisure destination from European airports.

Signature Holes at Golf du Soleil

The par-5 3rd on the Ocean nine plays through a palm-lined corridor with a sweeping second shot toward a green set against a background of irrigated gardens — a hole that captures the resort parkland character of Agadir golf at its most polished. The par-3 7th on the Atlas nine requires a precise iron to a green surrounded by water on three sides, the most technically demanding hole in a layout designed more for pleasure than punishment. The par-4 18th on the primary eighteen finishes toward the clubhouse with a view of the Atlas Mountains on clear mornings, providing an unexpectedly dramatic conclusion to what is primarily a resort-scale design.

October through April is Agadir's peak golf season — mild Atlantic temperatures of 20–26°C, minimal rain, and the primary window for European winter golf escapes. May through September is hotter (up to 35°C) but mornings remain comfortable, and this period offers significantly lower green fees and quieter courses. The Agadir region receives very little rain even in the winter months — the climate is reliably sunny and warm by European standards throughout the year.
