MOROCCO AGADIR BIG TSG TRIP for Golfers with Disabilities

 The 6th Bi Annual Trip tool place in Nov 2025 when 16 people travelled to AGADIR

 to play in the BRITISH INCLUSIVE GOLFS prestigious CAPTAINS SHIELD EVENT.


AGADIR is a very resort based on the west course of Morocco on the Atlantic coast. Temperatures in November where low 70s so very pleasant indeed. 

We stayed at the IBEROSTAR, FOUNTY WAVE ALL INCLUSIVE RESORT ON A JET 2 Package with golf arranged by Golf Travel. 

The flight out was to say the least interesting our planes flaps stuck and we circled around for other 2 hours to burn off sufficient fuel to attempt to reland at Manchester.

Thanks to the professionalism of the crew we landed safely and did not need the safety vehicles waiting in attendance after a very frightening landing.


not required,,, thank the lord...and a fine 

We eventually arrived 4hs late but safe and sound. The hotel was just the ticket for our group and Morocco is certainly very good value for money, Gorgeous wide promenades, splendid sandy beaches and a fine marina and also an historic castle, the resort has plenty to offer as well as Golf.

     We played 3 rounds over the trip.  Two at Golf Du Soliel  , the TIKIDA course and          its CHAMPIONSHIP Course. Our other course being the DUNES course..

      The course at SOLIEL  where both exceptional parkland courses, hard to believe          you where in the desert. Both really well cared for and the rapid Greens are                    exceptional.  The Dunes is a much shorter, very quirky layout. I  loved it, lots of              dog legs, elevation changes, bunkers everywhere and water hazards made course            management as important as ball striking. The clubhouse is not yet finished so                social opportunities in hole 19 are sadly non existent at moment. 

      The other courses locally are the highly rated links course The TAZEGOUT, the            OCEAN CLUB and ROYAL GOLF CLUB. So its an excellent base for a beach              side, all inclusive GOLFING VACATION.

The competition for the Captains Shield was played over 2 days of individual stableford over 2 days combined. After a summer of no golf whilst undergoing radiotherapy my individual expectations where naturally low, however with 33 and 35 points, i only went and won the thing. got to admit i shed a tear or two.

The last day was a fun day 4 man Texas scramble always a highlight of any BIG TRIP. Thanks in the main to young James Gallagher ably assisted by Kevin Booth, I was part of another winning team. Sincere thanks to all the golfers for supporting the event and the wives and children too, who continue to make this such a popular trip.  We shall endeavour to maintain the standard of golfing, hotel and resort choices in future trips too. It remains our philosophy to offer a vacation to a destination not previously visited. SO WATCH THIS SPACE.
