Assoufid Golf Club: A Desert Course Beneath the Atlas
South of Marrakech, Assoufid Golf Club moves through naturally rolling desert terrain with the snow-capped Atlas Mountains in view. Opened in October 2014 and designed by Niall Cameron, the course has a clear identity: a championship-length round shaped to sit within the landscape rather than overpower it.
A naturally undulating landscape, not a manicured garden
Assoufid’s official course profile describes an 18-hole, Par 72 layout measuring 6,440 metres, set around 10 kilometres from Marrakech’s Medina. The course opened in October 2014 and was designed by Scottish designer and former European Tour player Niall Cameron.
Its desert-style character is built around the existing contours of the site, native planting and broad views towards the Atlas Mountains. The club says its design sought to blend into the landscape while reducing environmental impact through lower water consumption and the preservation of native plants and trees. The result is a course where the ground itself contributes to the challenge, rather than a landscape that has been flattened into a conventional parkland setting.
Use the contours and respect the desert terrain
The natural rises and dips create variety from hole to hole. Players need to consider the lie, the angle into the green and the way the ground shapes a shot after landing.
Play for position
On rolling ground, a good position can be more valuable than a longer but less controlled shot. Think about the next approach rather than focusing only on distance from the tee.
Keep the natural landscape in mind
Native planting and sandy terrain are part of the course’s design. Read the landing area carefully and avoid assuming that every natural area is maintained rough or a free drop.
A course designed around its desert landscape
Assoufid’s appeal is the relationship between the golf holes and the land around them. The naturally undulating site, native vegetation and Atlas panorama give the course a strong visual identity, while the layout’s length and contours reward thoughtful play.
