Royal Golf Dakhla: A Nine-Hole Ecological Sand Course Between Sea and Desert
At the edge of the Sahara and the Atlantic lagoon, Royal Golf Dakhla offers a golf experience unlike a conventional grass course. The Royal Moroccan Golf Federation lists a nine-hole facility built around fine-sand fairways and describes the concept as 100% ecological. The club’s own site presents it as open to both beginners and experienced players.
A golf experience shaped by sand, sea and desert
Royal Golf Dakhla sits within the dramatic landscape of the Dakhla region, where desert ground meets the Atlantic lagoon. Rather than using conventional grass fairways throughout, the course uses fine sand as its playing surface.
The federation lists nine holes and describes the fairways as fine sand, with a playing quality intended to be similar to that of grass. It presents the course as a 100% ecological sand layout suitable for beginners and experienced golfers. The club’s own website expands on the offer: beginners can book introductory sessions, while more experienced players can request green fees, individual or group improvement lessons, and accompanied rounds. The club lists opening hours seven days a week from 08:00 to 19:00 and gives its location at kilometre 28 in Dakhla. It does not publish a conventional par, total yardage or architect in the sources reviewed for this article, so those figures are deliberately not supplied.
A different surface and a welcoming approach to the game
The sand fairways are the feature that defines Royal Golf Dakhla. The club positions the course as a way to make golf approachable to a wider audience while still offering structured play and coaching for experienced golfers.
