Morocco wants to be the fastest-growing golf destination

Morocco continues to expand into the luxury gold resort market, announcing plans this week to open a new world-class golf course called The Marrakech Golf Club, Assoufid, in March 2012. The development includes a luxury, 98-room Rocco Forte Collection hotel and spa, and “a sumptuous clubhouse.”

Morocco is determined to be “the fastest growing golf destination in Europe, the Middle East and Africa,” the developers told OPP. The project sits on a 222-hectare estate located 20-minutes from the centre of Marrakech, and a 10-minute drive from the international airport.
