Royal Tanger Course


Royal Tanger, a Moroccan golfing institution, whispers tales of kings and sheikhs strolling its fairways, a legacy intrinsically woven into the city's jet-set past. Nestled in the heart of Tangier near Rue Mhammed Abdou, the course presents a distinct parkland experience. Its rolling hills, often swept by Atlantic breezes, demand strategic play rather than brute force, favoring cunning shot-makers who can navigate its deceptively tight corridors. Doglegs abound, challenging golfers to shape their shots, while subtly undulating greens test even the most seasoned putters. Designed in the mid-20th century, the original architect's name remains shrouded in a bit of charming local mystery, adding to the club's mystique. While lacking the international acclaim of other Moroccan courses, Royal Tanger holds a special place in the hearts of Tangier's golfing community, a cherished retreat from the bustling city. Its historical significance lies not in major championships, but in the countless rounds played by local dignitaries and international visitors seeking a tranquil escape. The membership, a diverse tapestry of Moroccan professionals and expatriates, adds to the club's unique character. Stories abound of lively post-round discussions held on the shaded terrace overlooking the 18th, fueled by mint tea and the shared experience of conquering the course's subtle challenges. It's a place where deals are struck, friendships are deepened, and the spirit of golf is celebrated in its purest form. Beyond the golf, Royal Tanger is known within the Tangier community for its traditional tagine served in the clubhouse restaurant, a slow-cooked stew that embodies the rich culinary heritage of Morocco. It's a fitting complement to a day on the links, a taste of local flavor that leaves a lasting impression.

Probably the most unique golf is experience I have ever had. Basically impossible to play if you don’t speak fluent Arabic. Thankfully my college roommate does. We showed up at 8 am after arranging the tee time via Instagram. Only people at the course. They gave us some early 2000s mismatched rental clubs. They said we were guests and could not take a buggy so we were to walk with two caddies (Mohammed and Mohammed). Great guys and the only English they knew was golf terms. Best caddies I’ve ever had. Oddly enough they took push carts. Legit were scaling barbed wire fences to track down lost balls. A sleeve of ProVs is worth about $60 over there so they go to extreme lengths to find the balls. People couldn’t have been nice. Hard to compare the course quality considering it sits surrounded by slums in northern Morocco. Just such a cool experience.
