Golf in Cabo Negro: courses, access, season and stay
Cabo Negro has one course, Royal Golf de Cabo Negro, at km 1 on the Martil road, near Tétouan. This 18-hole, par-72 course bears the signature of Cabell B. Robinson, and the Royal Moroccan Golf Federation also credits the Hawtree & Sons practice with its design. Set on the flank of the Rif, facing the sea, the layout slips between dunes, pine forest and hills, in a still fairly wild landscape of agaves and mimosas. A forecaddie has been compulsory since 28 May 2025, and the club restaurant opens every day from 8.30 am.
