The Tony Jacklin Casablanca is an 18 hole, par 72 championship course at Bouskoura Golf City, on the edge of the Bouskoura forest about 20 km south of central Casablanca. It carries the name of Tony Jacklin, the Open and US Open champion and Ryder Cup captain who designed it, and was built by the architecture practice Stirling and Martin. Ten artificial lakes collect rainwater for irrigation and double as the main hazards on the round.
Why play here
The Tony Jacklin Casablanca is an 18 hole, par 72 championship course at Bouskoura Golf City, about 20 km south of central Casablanca.
It is the only course in Morocco designed by Tony Jacklin, winner of the 1969 Open and the 1970 US Open and the captain who led Europe to its first Ryder Cup wins.
The layout is wrapped on three sides by the Bouskoura forest, which is a protected woodland, so the round feels enclosed rather than suburban.
Ten artificial lakes carry the water hazards and also store rainwater, which is what keeps the course green through a dry Casablanca summer.
Course details
18 holes, par 72, playing to 7,024 yards from the championship tees.
Designed by Tony Jacklin and built by the golf architecture practice Stirling and Martin.
Ten artificial lakes hold up to 200,000 cubic metres of rainwater, enough to irrigate the whole course for three months.
The sixth is the hole the club points to, both for its shape and for the way the water sits in front of the green.
Facilities
A clubhouse with a restaurant and a spa.
The Prestigia Golf Academy, with a large practice area for the long game, putting and bunker work.
A driving range and buggies.
The course is part of the Bouskoura Golf City development, so parking and access are straightforward.
Best time
Casablanca is mild all year, so this course plays through the winter.
Spring and autumn give the steadiest conditions, with less wind than the coastal courses.
The forest on three sides gives more shelter than the open Bouskoura courses, which helps on a windy day.
