It is difficult to call a capital city with two golf courses a ‘golf resort’ - and yet that can truly be said of Tunis, the capital of Tunisia. Tunis features one very old golf club - Carthage Golf Club which dates to the 1920’s and one very new one, the Robert Trent Jones II Residence Golf Club which opened in 2008. The adjacent Residence Hotel & Spa is truly one of the most luxurious hotels in the world, and a stay here will be remembered for many years. In fact, during your first visit, we recommend combining golf with a spa day so that you can experience the relaxation for yourself. In Tunis there are also numerous activities to enjoy, such as the ancient ruins of Carthage, and museums which trace the full history of Tunisia back to the days of the Phoenicians. Did you know that the Bible was officially canonized in Carthage? Or that Augustine, the famous church father and historian served as Bishop here? We especially recommend Tunis as a short break destination for those who want to experience The Residence Hotel, for those who want to spend time shopping in the markets and mising with the crowds, or for those history fans who would just like to explore. For those on a budget, we can also recommend more economy friendly hotels than The Residence.
Verbal descriptions of each of Tunisia’s golf holiday resort destinations: Monastir/SkanesMonastir-Skanes boasts a long stretch of white sandy beach, with two golf courses near the doorstep of most hotels, and two more a short distance away in Port El Kantaoui. Many of our featured hotels face the beach on one side and a golf course on the other. This is the quietest golf resort area in Tunisia, and also the closest to the airport. The towns of Monastir and Sousse are easily accessible by taxi or tourist trams/trains. Monastir features a quiet marina and some excellent Italian and seafood restuarants. We also feature an excellent beachfront city centre hotel which is ideal for those who want to enjoy the town atmosphere that is not overrun with tourists. Monastir is the preferred choice for those looking for good golf and a good nights rest rather than a late night out. Golf Packages in Monastir/Skanes.
Port El Kantaoui/SoussePort El Kantaoui is a well developed resort and marina, with plenty to do at all hours day and night when you are not on the course. The 36 hole Kantaoui Golf Club has been a frequent host of the European Senior Tour, and is a short walk from our featured hotels. The marina offers a wide variety of excellent restaurants and other activities. Sailing, deep sea fishing, parasailing, jet skiing, and scuba diving to name just a few. British, Irish and German pubs are scattered between the marina and the adjacent town of Sousse. Port El Kantaoui is our first choice for golfers who want to literally walk to everything: Golf, hotel, marina and pubs are all within walking distance. The busiest resort centre for active winter holidays. Golf Packages in Port El Kantaoui. HammametHammamet is Tunisia’s most popular summer beach resort area. Three excellent golf courses are nearby, and five more less than one hour away.
