ROYAL GOLF CLUB

The fairways are outlined along the 9 holes, and perfumed by pines, eucalyptus and mimosa, subtle fragrances that blend with the tang of the nearby ocean.Open all year around under its eternal blue sky, the Royal Golf of Agadir is a legend.

The Royal Golf Club (09 holes, soon to be extended to 18) is located 8 Miles from downtown Agadir on the way to Ait Melloul.
