Golf in Saïdia: courses, access, season and stay
Saïdia has two 18-hole, par-72 courses, 36 holes in all, open seven days a week from 7 am to 7 pm. Le Golf des Lacs, on the Ras El Ma road, spreads its 63 hectares around an 8-hectare lake: Francisco Ségales designed it along the lines of American championship courses, over 6,160 metres, with 75 bunkers and island greens. Golf Teelal, designed by Nicolas Joakimides, is played on sand along the beach over 42 hectares; its operator describes it as designed for golfers of all levels, with generous aprons.

Nador El Aroui Airport (IATA code NDR) is the other option, about 91 km by road from the marina. A private transfer booked in advance takes you straight to the first tee.
Best season
No climate series specific to Saïdia was found from a recognised source; the figures below are for Nador, on the same Mediterranean coast (Weather Spark, 1980-2016 averages). Spring (April-May, highs of 21 to 24 °C) and October (25 °C) are the most pleasant periods for golf.
In July and August highs reach 30 to 31 °C in Nador, so make use of the 7 am opening at both courses. In January the average high is 18 °C and rainfall peaks in November, at 49 mm. At Golf Teelal, the wind is part of the game.
