Golf de l’Océan Agadir: Three Nine-Hole Courses Among Dunes and Water
On the edge of the Bensergao forest, Golf de l’Océan combines natural sand dunes, coastal planting and water features in a 27-hole layout. Designed by Belt Collins, the venue is formed by three nine-hole courses—Desert, Dunes and Garden—each with its own playing identity and a Par 36 scorecard.
A course shaped by natural dunes and coastal vegetation
The official course website describes a property near the Bensergao forest, around 15 minutes from central Agadir, inaugurated at the end of 2009. Natural sand dunes and vegetation form the basis of the landscape, with four lakes added to the playing environment.
The three loops are known as Desert, Dunes and Garden. Visit Morocco lists each as nine holes and Par 36, with published lengths of 2,856 metres for Desert, 2,954 metres for Dunes and 3,142 metres for Garden. The FRMG describes a site of around 100 hectares, while the club website gives a figure of more than 90 hectares; the exact stated area therefore varies between official sources. The course’s natural relief and sometimes narrow fairways create different playing demands, and the three-loop structure allows the club to offer several combinations.
Desert, Dunes and Garden offer three distinct tests
The three names describe different playing environments rather than a single fixed 18-hole routing. Knowing which loops are paired is important when planning the round and checking the correct scorecard.
Desert and Dunes
The Desert and Dunes loops bring the natural sandy character of the site into play. They are a reminder to plan the landing area carefully and allow for the way the ground and wind may influence the next shot.
Garden
The Garden loop offers a different contrast within the same complex, with more planted surroundings and a separate scorecard. Each of the three nines is a Par 36, so golfers can combine loops to form an 18-hole round.
Four lakes and three nine-hole routes in a natural dune setting
The course’s appeal lies in its variety: dunes, coastal vegetation and lakes combine with three different nine-hole routes. It is a flexible layout that can feel different depending on the loop combination selected for the day.
Planning a round at Golf de l’Océan
The official website identifies the course as being associated with the Atlantic Palace Golf, Thalasso & Casino Resort and says the venue was originally created for the resort’s guests. Visitors should therefore confirm current public access and booking conditions directly before travelling.
- Ask which of the three loops—Desert, Dunes or Garden—is available on your date.
- Confirm whether visitor bookings are accepted and whether resort guest arrangements apply.
- Request the current rate, equipment hire details and the scorecard for the loop combination you intend to play.
