Golf at Royal Golf d'Anfa

Royal Golf d'Anfa is one of Casablanca's historic golf clubs, laid out inside the Hippodrome d'Anfa racecourse off the Route de la Cote in the Anfa district, about 8 km from the city centre in Morocco's Casablanca-Settat region. The activity is a round of 18 holes on a parkland-style course surrounded by the racetrack, and it is run by the club itself, a members' club that accepts visitors by reservation. Players need basic golf competence and enough fitness to walk or ride for four to five hours; there is no formal age limit published for visitors, but junior players are normally expected to be accompanied and to know course etiquette. Visitors may be asked for a handicap certificate or proof of club membership at home, so it is wise to carry one. Equipment is a mix of own and hired: golfers can bring their own clubs or arrange club hire, and golf shoes are expected on the course, while a cap, sun protection and water are recommended. The club does not run safety briefings in the way adventure operators do, but staff generally explain local rules, pace of play and the need to give way to racehorse activity or maintenance on the grounds. For any injury or heat illness, the clubhouse and city medical services are close, and emergency numbers can be requested at reception. Green fees are roughly MAD 700-1,200, so visitors should confirm the current rate and any tee-time restrictions directly with the club before arriving, as members have priority at weekends. The best period runs from October to May, when temperatures are comfortable and the turf is in good condition; the hottest months of July and August can make a full round tiring, and the course may close or restrict play on race days or after heavy rain. A petit taxi from central Casablanca takes about 20 minutes.
