Bouznika Bay Golf: A Nine-Hole Coastal Course with Night Golf
Between Casablanca and Rabat, Bouznika Bay Golf offers a compact seaside round within the Bouznika resort. The Royal Moroccan Golf Federation lists nine holes, Par 35 and a design by Robert Von Hagge. Its setting beside the Atlantic and its unusual night-golf tradition make it one of the area’s more distinctive short-course options.
A nine-hole course arranged around Oued Bouznika
The federation places Bouznika Bay Golf within the seaside resort at Bouznika, between Casablanca and Rabat. The nine holes are arranged around Oued Bouznika, giving the course a landscape shaped by water and coastal air.
The FRMG lists the course as nine holes and Par 35, designed by Robert Von Hagge. Its description highlights elevated greens that make the short layout more technical than its scale might suggest. Hole three is singled out for a trio of clover-shaped bunkers surrounding the green; the older Visit Morocco brochure describes it as a Par 5 signature hole and records a length of 3,040 metres for the nine-hole course. That distance comes from destination brochure material, so the current scorecard should be requested before relying on it. The federation also notes that the course has opened for night play, allowing golfers to play after sunset with the sound of the Atlantic nearby. Confirm the current lighting schedule directly with the venue.
A compact test where the greens do the talking
Bouznika Bay is a nine-hole course, not an 18-hole championship layout. Its elevated greens and distinctive third-hole bunker arrangement are the features that give the round its personality.
Give the approach shot priority
Elevated greens can make distance control and landing position important, particularly when the approach is played from an uneven lie. The right club and a controlled trajectory can be more useful than a full-power shot.
Consider an evening tee time
Night golf is one of the venue’s most distinctive features in the federation profile. Ask which days and tee times are currently lit and whether the club requires advance booking for evening play.
A clover-shaped bunker feature and the option to play after sunset
The course’s third hole and its night-golf character are two details that set Bouznika Bay apart. The nine-hole layout offers a shorter round by the sea, with a technical emphasis around the greens.
Planning a round at Bouznika Bay Golf
The federation publishes the course’s contact details and specifications. No dedicated visitor booking engine was confirmed for this draft, so contact the club to check availability, current fees, the latest scorecard and whether night-golf sessions are operating.
- Call or email the club to confirm visitor access and tee-time arrangements.
- Request the current nine-hole scorecard and confirm whether the historical 3,040-metre figure remains valid.
- Ask about night-golf dates, lighting hours, equipment hire and any resort access conditions.
