Q: What courses do you play?

A: We play three of the finest courses in Marrakech: Samanah, Assoufid, and Royal Golf du Marrakech.
Q: If I want to participate as an amateur player in the event, how does the process work?
A. Well first of all, all of the event information is listed on our website: www.moroccoproam.com Each team consists of one PGA of America Golf Professional (or similar) and 3 paid amateur players. Typically, the Golf Pro is the Head Golf Pro of a local country club who invites 3 of his/her members and they travel together to compete against other teams from all around North America and Europe. Spouses, Friends, and Guests are all welcome too - even if they don't play in the event!

Q: What if I am a single amateur and don't have a full team?
A: Each year we allow a limited number of single amateur players to participate. If someone wants to participate, but doesn't have a full team, they can send me an email: nick@moroccoproam.com and we will do our best to pair them up on a team.

Q: How many teams typically participate in your event?
A: As this is the 2nd year of the Morocco Pro Am - we anticipate having 10-20 golf teams and their friends, family, and significant others in attendance in 2023. As we continue to grow the event in future years, our goal is to have 40 golf teams and their friends, family and significant others in attendance - we can even go up to 60 teams. We play three different golf courses that are all in close proximity to the Sofitel Marrakech, so all the golfers and their guests can experience three different courses and facilities which are all unique in the own way.

Q: What makes your event different than other Pro-Am's that exist around North America and elsewhere?
A: That's another great question. There are obviously many great events out there, but we know hospitality and customer service like no other because we do this for a living and have been running golf tournaments for over 20 years in multiple Countries and on different Continents. The Moroccan National Tourist Organization who is one of our primary sponsors is comprised of some of the greatest Tourism and Hospitality executives in the World and they know how to do it right.
