Golf in Tunisia
North Africa's best value golf, a short hop from Europe, from the seaside championship courses of Port El Kantaoui to the Ronald Fream layouts at Hammamet and the 27 holes of sun drenched Djerba. The courses that matter, the regions, the seasons and how to plan it.

Why golf in Tunisia
Tunisia is the Mediterranean's quiet bargain for travelling golfers. A two to three hour flight from much of Europe lands you on warm, palm fringed coastlines where a round at a championship resort course costs a fraction of what the same golf would in Spain or Portugal, and the all inclusive beach hotels keep the rest of the trip just as gentle on the wallet. The American architect Ronald Fream shaped much of the country's modern golf, including the two courses at Hammamet's Citrus complex and the well regarded Yasmine Valley nearby, while Port El Kantaoui near Sousse offers two seaside championship layouts that have hosted professional events.
The appeal is the package as much as the golf. You play in the morning among olives, pines and the blue of the sea, then spend the afternoon on a beach, in a spa, or wandering the medinas, souks and Roman ruins that make Tunisia such a rich place to travel. Add the warmth that lasts deep into the shoulder seasons, the island of Djerba in the far south for the mildest winter golf, and a welcome that is unfailingly warm, and Tunisia earns its place as a relaxed, affordable golf and beach week.
The regions
Hammamet
The golf heartland an hour from Tunis: the two Citrus courses and Yasmine Valley clustered beside large beach resorts, the easiest base for a first Tunisia golf trip.
Sousse and Port El Kantaoui
Two seaside championship courses around the pretty marina village of Port El Kantaoui, paired with the beaches and medina of Sousse on the central coast.
Djerba and the south
The sunny southern island of Djerba offers 27 holes in the warmest, mildest climate in the country, the pick for winter golf, with the pine coast of Tabarka up north a contrast.
The courses that matter
El Kantaoui, Sea Course
The flatter of the two championship courses at Port El Kantaoui, running by the sea near the marina, a long standing tournament venue and one of the best known rounds in Tunisia.
El Kantaoui, Panorama Course
The hillier sister layout above the marina, with rolling fairways and wide views over the coast, a fine companion round to the Sea Course on a Sousse trip.
Golf Citrus, La Foret
The tougher of the two Citrus courses at Hammamet, threading through mature pine forest with tight, demanding fairways, the championship test of the complex.
Golf Citrus, Les Oliviers
The Citrus sister course among the olive trees, a flat, walkable front nine and a hillier, more characterful back, wide and enjoyable with large greens.
Yasmine Valley
A well regarded Fream layout a stone's throw from the Citrus resort in Yasmine Hammamet, a varied, playable course beside the beach hotels of the new resort town.
Djerba Golf Club
Three combinable nine hole courses, Les Palmiers, La Mer and Les Acacias, on the sunny island of Djerba, with palms, the sea and the mildest winter climate in Tunisia.
La Cigale Tabarka
An 18 hole course on the green, pine clad north coast at Tabarka, weaving through olive groves and forest with water and hills, the most scenic round in the country.
The Residence, Golf de Carthage
The handiest golf to the capital and the airport, near the historic site of Carthage and the Tunis beach suburbs, an easy round to open or close a trip from the north.

Getting there and around
Tunisia is an easy short haul from much of Europe, with the main airports at Tunis, Enfidha, which serves Hammamet and Sousse, Monastir near Port El Kantaoui, and Djerba in the south. Many golfers fly to Enfidha or Monastir and base in Hammamet or Port El Kantaoui, where the courses and beach hotels sit close together. Transfers and a driver are the simplest way to get around, since the resorts arrange course shuttles and the distances between regions, Hammamet to Sousse or Djerba, are better covered by a planned transfer than a hire car for most visitors.
Where to stay
Match the base to the golf. Hammamet and Yasmine Hammamet put you beside the Citrus and Yasmine courses with a wide choice of beach resorts and all inclusive hotels. Port El Kantaoui is a charming marina village base for the two El Kantaoui courses and the Sousse coast. Djerba's resort strip suits a winter golf and beach week in the warmest part of the country, while Tabarka pairs its scenic course with the pine coast of the north. Book the resorts ahead for the spring and autumn peaks, and let one planner line up the right base and the course shuttles.
