Image: Casablanca has fantastic courses for you to play
If you love culture and heritage, and also love playing golf, Casablanca will suit you very well indeed. The city has several excellent courses, one of which is the centrally located Royal Golf Anfa. Designed in 1930, this course has been at the heart of the city, and the city’s golf circuit, ever since. Casa Green Golf Club is built in a natural amphitheatre and The Annawras Golf Club a few miles south of the city is the smallest eighteen hole course in all of Morocco. The Royal Golf Mohammedia, is a spectacular course a few miles outside the city. Here holes run through avenues of pine trees and alongside the crashing Atlantic Ocean, giving you a nice mix between links and parkland.
