Hyatt Place Taghazout Bay & Tazegzout Golf
Tazegzout Golf Course Located just 15km north of Agadir and set in the heart of the Taghazout Bay Resort, the new Tazegzout golf course presents a number of spectacular holes set amidst Argan trees with the stunning Atlantic Ocean as a backdrop, each hole enjoying breathtaking ocean views. The 6,675-metre course is open every day of the year in a climate offering over 300 days of sunshine per year and temperatures averaging 15-25°C. Designed by Kyle Phillips, Tazegzout means “green and beautiful nature” in the local Berber dialect, the perfect name for this spectacular new course that embraces the natural lie of the land and the typical Argan ecosystem. It meanders through the natural Argan vegetation, rising to a crescendo on the final three holes. Playing over two deep rocky ravines and finally along the 80m cliff edge, these finishing holes will test every level of golfer and provide endless stories to retell on the terrace of the magnificent clubhouse. The golf course fosters a sustainable approach based on environmentally-friendly products and the reuse of waste water. Opened in October 2014, Tazegzout’s facilities include: a welcoming and friendly clubhouse in which golfers can relax in a stylish atmosphere and enjoy the splendid ocean view after their round; a 150-seat restaurant offering creative, tasty and refined cuisine based on fresh products and local specialities; golf academy with qualified instructors; training and practice areas; rental clubs, trolleys and buggies; and a pro shop stocked with a wide range of clothing, golf equipment and accessories, as well as golf and destinationbranded products and souvenirs.
