Interesting facts to know about the course hosting the International Series Morocco 2026

Royal Golf Dar Es Salam has been the cornerstone of Moroccan golf since it opened in 1971. The Red Course, which hosts the international series, stretches to over 7,000 yards through a dense cork oak forest on the outskirts of Rabat. Robert Trent Jones Sr. designed the layout, and the trees define the challenge on the course.

The course was developed under the patronage of King Hassan II. The Hassan II Golf Trophy is held annually here. The Royal Moroccan Golf Federation and the Hassan II Golf Trophy Association, both chaired by His Royal Highness Prince Moulay Rachid, have been central to growing the event’s profile on the international stage.

The International Series Morocco was launched in 2022. The only time the event did not take place was in 2023. This is why the championship has three former champions to its name. Thailand’s Jazz Janewattananond won the inaugural edition, New Zealand’s Ben Campbell won it in 2024, and Zimbabwe’s Scott Vincent won the championship in 2025. All three champions returned to Rabat this week.
