Best Golf Stays in Ben Slimane

Staying Close Enough to Walk the Round

The Ocean Rooftop Hotel's listed proximity to a golf course, within three kilometres, is the single most useful fact for anyone planning a golf-focused stay in Ben Slimane. It means an early tee time does not require leaving Casablanca or Rabat in the dark, and a short transfer after breakfast gets golfers to the first hole with time to spare rather than rushing in from further away. That margin matters most on weekend mornings, when tee sheets fill quickly and a late arrival can cost a slot entirely, turning a short drive into the difference between playing and waiting.

After a round, the property's sun terrace and seasonal outdoor pool give golfers somewhere to recover before dinner rather than heading straight back out. The garden setting keeps things quiet, which matters after a few hours in the heat on the course, and the on-site restaurant covering brunch through dinner means there is no need to drive into town for a meal at the end of the day. A shower, a swim and a plate of food on the terrace covers the whole post-round routine without leaving the property once, which is not something every golf stopover in Morocco can offer.

Golf trips built around Ben Slimane also benefit from the town's position between Casablanca and Rabat: golfers combining a round here with meetings or sightseeing in either city can treat the stay as a base rather than a detour, using the relatively short distance to both to fit golf into a broader Morocco itinerary without dedicating a separate trip to it. That flexibility turns a single round into part of a longer, more efficient travel plan rather than an isolated day out squeezed awkwardly between two separate city stays and two separate hotel bookings.

For families travelling with a golfer, the same property covers both needs at once: family rooms, a garden and pool keep non-golfing members of the group occupied while one or two head to the course, and the kitchenette units mean the group is not entirely dependent on restaurant timing built around golfers' early starts and late finishes. It is a workable compromise for mixed-interest trips that would otherwise pull a group in two directions, letting everyone arrive back at the same hotel by evening regardless of how the day was actually spent.

Golf is close to the reason Ben Slimane exists on most travellers' itineraries at all. The Royal Golf de Benslimane sits on the western edge of town, the eucalyptus forest wraps around the course and much of the surrounding land, and the rest of the town, from the weekly souk to the quiet residential streets, runs at the pace of a place built around a course and a commute corridor between Casablanca and Rabat rather than tourism.
