Waarom hier spelen
The Montgomerie Rabat is the newest championship golf course near Rabat, an 18 hole par 72 laid out by Colin Montgomerie and opened in 2017 at Bouknadel.
It is a links style course behind the coastal dune, with rolling fairways, deep sand scrapes and the Atlantic on the horizon.
European Golf Design worked on the layout with Montgomerie, which is the same partnership behind several Ryder Cup venues.
Green fees are published and visitors can play without membership, which is rare for a course of this standard in Morocco.
It sits about 20 minutes from central Rabat and roughly 11 km from Rabat Salé airport.
