The art of golf between forest and ocean
Beyond the course, the estate impresses with its upmarket facilities.

The many and varied practice areas let you work on every part of your game in excellent conditions. With its 36 holes, 9 of which are dedicated to learning, Mogador Golf Academy hosts professional tournaments every year, confirming its status as a benchmark. Ranked the world’s 15th most beautiful course by Golf World UK magazine in 2011, it continues to win players over with the beauty of its layout and the flawless quality of its upkeep.
Mogador Golf Academy thus offers a complete vision of golf: a place where sporting performance is played out in a spectacular natural setting, and where passion is fuelled as much by the technical side of the game as by the splendour of the Atlantic landscapes. In Essaouira, golf becomes a total immersion, an experience that combines excellence, refinement and a closeness to nature.
