Tazegzout Golf — Agadir

A Kyle Phillips clifftop golf course at Taghazout Bay, 80 metres above the Atlantic north of Agadir.

Tazegzout Golf sits inside the Taghazout Bay resort, about 17 km north of Agadir on the Essaouira road, and opened in 2014 to a design by the American architect Kyle Phillips. The 18 hole championship layout is a par 72 running 6,730 metres across 76 hectares of argan woodland, perched roughly 80 metres above the Atlantic so the ocean is in view from every hole. The course holds Green Globe certification and irrigates with recycled water.

Why play here

Tazegzout Golf at Taghazout Bay is the most scenic course near Agadir, sitting about 80 metres above the Atlantic with ocean views from every hole.
Kyle Phillips, the architect behind Kingsbarns in Scotland, routed it through native argan woodland and kept the existing trees in play.
The finishing stretch crosses two deep rocky ravines and runs along the clifftop, which makes for a genuinely memorable last three holes.
The clubhouse terrace looks over Taghazout Bay and the 18th green, so it is worth a stop even without a round.
The course holds Green Globe certification and irrigates with recycled water, which is unusual in Moroccan golf.

Opening hours

The course is open year round, with tee times running from early morning through to sunset.

Best time

The clifftop position means wind matters more here than on the inland Agadir courses, so early tee times are usually the calmest.
Late afternoon light over the bay is the reason many players choose a second nine after 16:00.
The course plays year round, and winter is peak season for golf on this coast.

Practical tips

The address is KM 17, Route d'Essaouira, Taghazout Bay, roughly a 15 to 20 minute drive north of Agadir.
The course is operated by Madaef Golfs, which takes tee time bookings for members and visitors.
The club can be reached on +212 671 81 81 89.
Green fees are not published on the operator's page, so confirm the current rate before you travel out.
There is no shade to speak of on the exposed clifftop holes, so a hat and sunscreen matter more here than inland.

How to combine

Taghazout village and Anchor Point are minutes away, so a round and an afternoon watching the surf work together.
Paradis Plage and the long beaches of Taghazout Bay sit directly below the course.
Agadir is about 17 km south, close enough to base yourself in the city and drive up for a morning tee time.
