Tangier City, Morocco. (November 7th, 2023) – Troon®, the leader in golf and club-related leisure and hospitality services, has been appointed to manage Al Houara Golf Club in Tangier City, Morocco. The highly ranked Graham Marsh and Vijay Singh designed Championship golf course will benefit from Troon’s international division’s management across agronomy, marketing and operations. Adding to their global portfolio, the Troon International division manage and provide services to resorts worldwide with courses across Europe, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific regions.

Shk Hamad Bin Talal Al Thani, Chief Development & Project Delivery Officer, Development, of **t****he Al Houara** Coastal Resort Project**, said:** “Al Houara Golf Club’s partnership with Troon marks an exciting chapter as we continue on our journey as a world class golf resort. With Troon’s expertise and our breathtaking setting, we are poised to elevate the club to new heights, offering an unparalleled experience for our valued guests. We symbolize a commitment to excellence across our hotel and golf course, setting the stage for a future filled with unforgettable moments.”

Al Houara Golf Club, along with its onsite luxurious hotel, the Hilton Tangier Al Houara Resort & Spa, has quickly asserted itself as one of the world’s best new golf resorts, named in Golf.com’s illustrious Top 100 Golf Resorts in the World in September 2023. At the heart of this is a challenging 18-hole par-72 designed by Graham Marsh in collaboration with Vijay Singh, with strategically placed bunkers and water hazards providing golfers a tough test. The golf course has been ranked number two in Morocco and number five in Africa, by Top100GolfCourses. The golf club also boasts a nine-hole short course, a driving range with short game areas and even two indoor swing rooms. All practice facilities and the short-course are floodlit.

However, the resort goes far beyond its impressive golf offer, providing a luxurious experience with 304 rooms, exceptional dining, and three outdoor pools. Situated in a sprawling area that includes a protected forest and 2.5km waterfront, the resort is conveniently located just a 15-minute drive from Tangier Ibn Battouta Airport. Seamlessly blending with the natural surroundings through its architecture to create a visually stunning experience for its guests, guests are now invited to Experience Troon Golf at Al Houara.

DJ Flanders, Executive Vice President of Troon International, commented: “Drawing on our rich experience in Morocco and resorts, this partnership will enable us to help propel Al Houara to its full potential, driving the resort on to new heights and growing its already esteemed reputation. It’s a collaborative effort that promises growth, excellence, and an elevated experience for all who choose to indulge in the luxurious offerings of Al Houara.”
