TENNIS IN MOROCCO: COURTS, CLUBS, COACHING & VISITOR ACCESS

What visitors should know

• Access depends on the club, not the city. RUC, CAFC and Msallah Garden are member-based; the two academies below rent courts by the hour; hotel courts are mainly for guests.
• Clay courts. The venues with confirmed surfaces below use clay (terre battue); ask about the surface when booking elsewhere.
• Rates are set per court or per person depending on the venue. At Tennis Agadir Training, one court covers up to four players.
• Afternoons can be hot. Floodlit courts, where a venue has them, make evening play possible.

Public courts, private clubs and hotel facilities

For municipal courts, ask locally about visitor access and booking.

How to book a court as a visitor

1. Start with venues that publish non-member rates. If a club's price list only shows memberships, expect to need an invitation.
2. Use the venue's own booking channel. Tennis Agadir Training and Tennis Academy Marrakech take online bookings; Es Saadi books through its concierge only.
3. Ask what the rate covers: per court or per player, rackets and balls, floodlights.
4. Confirm payment. At Tennis Academy Marrakech, you book online and pay on site.

Where to play by city

Casablanca

RUC Tennis is a clay-court club; its website sets out membership options and a sponsorship-and-invitation scheme. CAFC Tennis & Padel books through its BalleJaune page for registered members. Ask either club about guest invitations before planning a visit.

Rabat

Club Wifaq lists tennis alongside padel on its Playtomic page, which appears to restrict booking to members. Current tennis access and membership rules remain unconfirmed; ask the club whether visitors can play and whether any pass covers tennis.

Marrakech

• Tennis Academy Marrakech (TeAM). Two clay courts at the Club de Targa. According to the academy's club page, non-members can book a court online and pay on site; the listed rate for the 2026/27 season is 150 MAD per court per hour. The academy also lists private lessons and occasional sessions for holidaymakers.
• Es Saadi Marrakech Resort. One clay court, bookable by resort guests through the concierge. In March 2026 the resort's sports page listed 250 MAD per hour with rackets and balls included. The page does not say whether non-guests can book, so ask.

Tangier

Msallah Garden is a members' club with tennis and padel; its tariff sheet (undated) includes a court rental rate for external players, but the layout does not make clear which figure applies. Call to confirm current terms. The Royal Tennis Club de Tanger is one of the country's oldest clubs. Ask the club whether tennis is currently available to visitors.

Agadir

• Tennis Agadir Training. Four floodlit clay courts at Agadir Bay, listed as open from 7:00 to 23:00 and booked online. Its court rental page lists 150 MAD per hour for non-subscribers, for up to four players, balls and rackets included (checked October 2026).
• Royal Tennis Club d'Agadir. Visitors' reviews describe walk-in court use and lessons booked on the spot. Call ahead to confirm current access and rates.

Playing on clay

Clay is slower and the ball sits up higher, which favours long rallies. It also means:

• Shoes: wear clay-court or all-court shoes with a herringbone sole. Running shoes slide and can damage the surface. Clubs may have their own footwear rules, so ask.
• Court care: some clubs water or brush courts between sessions; arrive on time and follow staff instructions.
• Clothes and kit: expect red clay on socks and balls.

If you need a hard or indoor court, confirm the surface and facilities when booking.

Tennis lessons and coaching

Coaching is easiest to arrange at academies. Tennis Academy Marrakech lists private lessons from 300 MAD per hour and occasional sessions for holidaymakers from the same price (2026/27 season). Tennis Agadir Training offers private, duo and small-group lessons, plus adult and women-only programmes, but does not publish an hourly lesson rate. Es Saadi listed coached sessions at 600 MAD per hour per person in March 2026. These are individual venue prices; ask each venue for its rate and which languages the coach speaks.

Playing without a partner

• Book a lesson or a hitting session with a coach.
• Join a group programme if you are staying a while; both academies above list them.
• Ask about club events. Tennis Academy Marrakech mentions tournaments and activities through the year.
• Ask at reception whether other players are looking for a game.

Equipment, footwear and racket rental

• Rackets: Tennis Agadir Training lists racket hire at 20 MAD, and includes rackets and balls in its non-subscriber court rate. Es Saadi includes them in its court rate. Elsewhere, ask.
• Balls: ask whether the venue supplies them or you should bring a tube.
• Restringing: Tennis Academy Marrakech offers it.

Costs, membership and guest fees

Rates published on the venues' own pages, each dated. They are examples from three venues, not a guide to prices elsewhere in Morocco:

If you are staying longer, ask about membership or a subscription. At Tennis Agadir Training, for example, subscribers pay a lower rate than non-subscribers. Prices change, so confirm before you go.

Practical booking checklist

• Confirm non-members can book and at what rate
• Check whether the price is per court or per person
• Ask whether rackets, balls and lights are included
• Pack clay-suitable shoes, water and sun protection
• Book early morning or evening in hot months
• Save the club's exact location
• Check cancellation terms
