Golf Breaks & Holidays in Tunisia

Tunisia has a variety of golfing experiences to be enjoyed and there are three that get the Golf Escapes seal of approval.

The Sindbad Hotel & Citrus Golf

This is a brilliant place to start. The Sindbad Hotel is located in Hammamet which is a lively town split into two parts – the “Old Town” and the “New Town”. Both areas have plenty of shops, restaurants, cafes and bars if you decide to venture out in your free time. The hotel itself is very charming and perfect for golf groups, with its own private beach as well as some wonderful restaurants and bars on-site including a sports bar. The hotel is a shareholder in the Citrus Golf & Country Club and therefore the two have an excellent working relationship. The 45-hole golf club is a 10-minute car journey from the Sindbad Hotel and there is a free shuttle that runs every 30 minutes between the venues. Citrus is a 45-hole golf complex with two excellent 18-hole courses, a 9-hole academy course, a large driving range and a beautiful clubhouse to relax in before and after your round.

The Residence Tunis

The Residence Tunis is a stunning 5-star hotel located 30 minutes from downtown Tunis in the tranquil region of Carthage. This a luxury beach resort on the Mediterranean Sea, complete with a Thalasso spa and a variety of dining options. The hotel also owns a Robert Trent Jones Jr-designed golf course which is just a few minutes by shuttle from the hotel reception. This is a very well-designed desert-style course that has views of Tunis and the mountains beyond. With great staff and cuisine, you might not want to leave this luxurious place but if you do venture out, there is the wonderfully idyllic village of Sidi Bou Said which we highly recommend visiting during your stay.

The Phenicia Hotel

Situated in the beautiful town of Hammamet, The Phenicia Hotel is an excellent option for your next golf trip. This 4-star, all-inclusive, luxury hotel offers its guests a gorgeous beachfront location, as well as being conveniently located just 2.5 miles away from the largest golf complex in Tunisia, Citrus Golf.
