Royal Golf Universitaire de Settat: A Historic Nine-Hole University Course
South-west of Casablanca, Settat was once home to a university-linked golf course created for students of the Scientific and Technical University of Settat. An older Visit Morocco golf brochure describes a nine-hole layout in a quiet setting, but current operating status and public visitor access could not be confirmed from contemporary official club information.
A golf course conceived for a university community
The Visit Morocco brochure describes University Royal Golf Settat as a course originally created for students of the Scientific and Technical University of Settat, around 75 kilometres south-west of Casablanca.
The brochure lists nine holes, Par 37 and a length of 3,215 metres, and gives an address at Km 2, Route de Casablanca, BP 575, Settat. It presents the course as a quiet place to play, with a microclimate that distinguishes the town from the coastal belt. However, this information comes from an older tourism brochure, and the current Royal Moroccan Golf Federation directory reviewed for this draft does not provide a matching modern course profile or tee-time booking page. A golf-directory listing still includes the name Golf Universitaire de Settat, but that alone does not establish that the course remains operational or open to visitors. For that reason, this article treats the specifications as historical published information and does not describe the venue as a confirmed current booking option.
A historical nine-hole profile, not a verified current tee-time offer
The documented identity is clear enough to preserve in the Morocco golf inventory, but a visitor should not rely on the old brochure for present-day access, prices or playing conditions.
Historical course data
The Visit Morocco brochure gives nine holes, Par 37 and 3,215 metres. Those figures are useful for identifying the former course profile, but the source is not a current scorecard.
Current status needs checking
No contemporary official operator page, public tee-time system or confirmed reopening/operating notice was verified. The current status, ownership, course condition and visitor eligibility should be checked before making a trip.
A university-era golf facility whose present status needs confirmation
Royal Golf Universitaire de Settat is included because it appears in the historical national golf brochure and in golf-directory listings. Golf Alarab should preserve that history while making the lack of current operational confirmation explicit.
Before planning a visit to Settat
Do not assume that the course is currently open or that the old brochure’s phone numbers and playing details remain valid. Contact the relevant local or federation golf authorities and request confirmation of the facility’s present status, visitor access and a current scorecard before travelling.
- Confirm whether the university course is currently operational and maintained for play.
- Ask whether non-students or visiting golfers can access the facility.
- Request a current scorecard, fees, tee-time contact and equipment information if the course is open.
