9. Golf du Palais Royal
(Royal Palace Golf Club)
Agadir, Morocco
Inside the Royal Palace walls in Agadir you will find a hidden gem. The great golf course architect Robert Trent Jones Sr. was commissioned by the King to build the course in the late 1980s, producing one of his finest works on a beautiful site within the Palace grounds that border the Atlantic Ocean. Unless you’re an invited guest of the Prince, you’ll have to qualify for the European Tour’s Trophée Hassan II event (or its pro-am) to tee it up here, where many months sometimes pass between rounds, though the course is always kept in perfect shape just in case the Prince has the urge to play a round.
