We stayed at the Hotel Sindbad in Hammamett, the hotel is very good , right on the beach about 15min walk to town. We booked dinner bed and breakfast, good choice on the dinner but not to our liking at all, we found most of it inedible. We used the al la carte restaurant which was very good, about £25 a head including a loy of wine. Breakfast at the hotel was pretty good.
Fortunately we had booked 2 junior suites, this was handy for us to congregate after dinner because there was not really any bars nearby and Hammamet in the evening was not particularly appealing.
Drinks in hotel were reasonable if you drank beer or Tunisian wine which was excellent, although beer is definitely lower strength than we are used to.
The hotel staff and the golf club staff could not have been better they were excellent.
We played Citrus golf, the hotel shuttle takes about ten minutes its free but a local cab will only cost a couple of quid.
There are two courses, one is obviously new called Olives, this was quite disappointing, but thankfully the forest course is much better, some great holes, plenty of water and trees, lots of lost balls even though we are all single figures, a proper interesting challenge, we played five times and didn’t get bored.
Overall a refreshing change from getting ripped off in Portugal and Spain, 6 rounds cost £200 and the service at the golf club was fantastic, they keep your clubs in your own locker, get them out when you arrive, great.
We would definitely go back to Tunisia although parties of male golfers used to Spain and Portugal need to realise that evening entertainment is of your own making.
Chris Jones travelled with Your Golf Travel.com on a golf holiday to Tunisia, holidays start from just £239 including 5* accommodation and golf.
Tunisia is really good for a golf holiday plus its as cheap as chips. I’ve played in Hammemet and Port el Kantaoui, and although the golf isn’t quite as good as what you’d get in Spain or Portugal the value for money more than makes up for it.
