Golf Between Fez and the Atlas

Golf in Fez-Meknes

Fez-Meknes offers an inland Moroccan setting for golfers who want to combine time on the course with the historic cities, hill country and cedar landscapes of the north-central interior. Golf is generally most practical around Fez and the cooler upland area near Ifrane, rather than as a dense resort corridor. The region suits travellers building a wider Morocco itinerary, with medina visits, mountain drives and regional food readily paired with tee times. Conditions vary notably with altitude and season. Summers in Fez can be hot and dry, while the Middle Atlas is cooler and can see winter cold, rain and occasional snow. Spring and autumn usually give the most comfortable balance for walking and sightseeing; check local conditions before booking, particularly if travelling to higher ground. Fez provides the region's scheduled international air access and is the most convenient base for many visitors. Allow extra driving time between cities, courses and rural accommodation, as the terrain and road network make the area less compact than Morocco's coastal golf destinations. Advance planning is sensible during holiday periods and weekends, when demand can rise.
