When is the best time to play golf in Morocco?
October to May. Playability scores 4 or better in every month of that window, with March and April the strongest.
July and August score 2. The golf is playable at dawn and punishing after ten, and we will say so rather than sell you a week in August because you asked for one.

Why the window is that shape
Morocco's golf coast sits between the Atlantic and the Atlas, and the two pull in different directions. The Atlantic keeps Rabat and Agadir mild when Marrakech is not, which is why a February trip to Agadir and a February trip to Marrakech are different holidays. Rain is the constraint in November and December rather than heat — it arrives in short heavy bursts rather than all day, so a wet month is rarely a lost round.
Does Ramadan affect play?
Courses stay open and play normally. Some clubhouse restaurants close for lunch, and the tee sheet is quieter, which suits some groups. Ramadan moves each year — we tell you the dates for your window when we quote.
