Golf holiday in Tunisia

In Tunisia you play golf on the Mediterranean when it is cold in Germany. Most golf courses lie around Hammamet, Tunis and Monastir, plus a course with 27 holes on the island of Djerba.

In short

  • In Hammamet the high season of the golf courses runs from September to May, and in summer you pay less.
  • The courses give their green fees partly in dinars and partly in euros; at Golf Citrus in Hammamet 18 holes cost 112 euros in winter.
  • As a German citizen you need a passport to enter, the identity card is not enough.

Golf in Tunisia at a glance

Sunny destinations such as Morocco, Tunisia, the Canary Islands, Spain, Portugal, Mallorca, Turkey or the United Arab Emirates are attractive above all in the months from October to April. That is what the book „Golftourismus: Dein Guide für Golfreisen“ says. In the book’s overview of destinations four places are listed for Tunisia, namely Hammamet, Djerba, Monastir and Tunis.

Tunisia has eleven golf courses. Four of them lie around Hammamet and Tunis, four between Sousse and Monastir and one on Djerba. Then there are the golf courses in Tabarka in the north-west and in the oasis of Tozeur in the south.

  • SeasonThe golf courses in Hammamet charge their higher green fees from September to May, and in summer it gets cheaper.
  • RegionsHammamet, Sousse and Monastir lie on the Mediterranean in the north-east, Djerba is an island in the south.
  • EntryAs a German citizen you need a passport for Tunisia that is still valid for at least six months on entry.

Tour operators also list Tunisia as a destination for golf trips. Of the 20 golf trips with hotel that tour operators named in October 2026, 11 went to Hammamet and 5 to Sousse.

When you play in Tunisia

The golf courses divide the year into a long high season and a short summer. At Yasmine Golf Club in Hammamet the high season runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 May 2027 and the low season from 1 June to 31 August 2027. Golf Citrus gives a winter rate for the months from September to May and a summer rate for June to August.

Golf course18 holes in high season18 holes in low season
Golf Citrus, Hammamet112 euros65 euros
Yasmine Golf Club, Hammamet180 dinars150 dinars

At Golf Citrus a round in summer therefore costs a good 40 percent less than in winter. In high summer, however, it can get so hot in southern countries that a round of golf becomes a sweaty challenge. For a trip in June, July or August an early tee time therefore makes sense.

In winter 18 holes at Golf Citrus cost 112 euros. In summer it is 65 euros.

Djerba Golf Club says it is open all year round, and Golf Citrus also keeps its courses open all year.

Golf in Hammamet

Hammamet has two golf facilities that lie close together. Golf Citrus has 45 holes, divided between the two 18-hole courses La Forêt and Les Oliviers and an executive course with 9 holes. The courses lie in a pine forest and a gently rolling olive grove with palms, eucalyptus and seven lakes, over which a breeze blows from the bay of Hammamet. A shared clubhouse looks out over all three courses.

For the two large courses Golf Citrus asks for a handicap of 36. On the executive course there is no handicap requirement, so you can play there without a handicap too. Partner hotels such as The Sindbad and Hotel Phenicia offer their guests up to 30 percent off the green fee, preferred tee times in high season and a free shuttle. According to Golf Citrus, Hotel Phenicia is the nearest, five kilometres away, and the shuttle runs every 30 minutes.

Yasmine Golf Club opened in 1991 and has a championship course with a view of the bay of Hammamet. Together with padel courts and the restaurant The Swing it forms a shared complex for sport and leisure.

North of Hammamet, near Tunis, there are two more golf courses, Carthage Golf Club in La Soukra and Residence Golf Club in La Marsa. For them Tunis-Carthage airport (TUN) is the right one, for Hammamet the airport Enfidha-Hammamet (NBE).

Golf between Sousse and Monastir

Three golf facilities lie between Sousse and Monastir. Port El Kantaoui north of Sousse has two courses, the Panorama Course and the Sea Course. In Monastir lie Palm Links and Flamingo Golf Course.

From a hotel in Sousse you therefore reach four golf courses in less than half an hour. For this region you fly to Monastir (MIR) or Enfidha-Hammamet (NBE).

Golf on Djerba

Djerba Golf Club lies in the tourist zone near Midoun and opened in 1995. It has 27 holes in three loops named Les Palmiers, Les Acacias and La Mer. The La Mer loop lies between two hotels and the sea, and the other two also border on hotels. Play is in a palm grove with a view of the Mediterranean.

For 18 holes the club names 281.50 dinars and for 9 holes 157 dinars. If you play for several days, there are packages. Four rounds over 18 holes cost 993.50 dinars and seven rounds 1,484.50 dinars. For an unlimited green fee you pay 371.50 dinars for one day and 2,234 dinars for seven days. A buggy for 18 holes costs 125 dinars.

From TUI BLUE Palm Beach Palace in Houmt Souk you reach the golf course in 7 minutes by car. For Djerba you fly to Djerba-Zarzis airport (DJE).

What golf costs in Tunisia

The golf courses in Tunisia give their prices partly in euros and partly in Tunisian dinars. For a comparison the exchange rate on the day of your trip is what counts. It therefore makes sense to convert the prices in dinars only shortly before booking.

Golf courseServicePrice
Golf Citrus18 holes in winter112 euros
Golf Citrus9 holes on the executive course in winter54 euros
Golf Citruspackage with 3, 4 or 5 days in winter310, 405 or 495 euros
Golf Citrusclub car for 18 holes and two people30 euros
Yasmine Golf Club18 holes in high season180 dinars
Yasmine Golf Clubpackage with 2, 3, 4 or 5 green fees324, 459, 576 or 675 dinars
Yasmine Golf Clubfull set of rental clubs35 dinars
Djerba Golf Club18 holes281.50 dinars

At all three golf courses the price per round falls if you take a package. At Yasmine Golf Club five green fees in a package cost 675 dinars instead of five times 180 dinars. For a golf week in Hammamet it can therefore be helpful to decide on the number of rounds in advance.

Mirco’s tip

At Golf Citrus guests of the partner hotels pay up to 30 percent less green fee. It makes sense to ask about such a partnership when choosing your hotel.

What you need to enter the country

As a German citizen you need a passport to enter Tunisia. Entry with an identity card is not possible. The passport must still be valid for at least six months on entry. You do not need a visa for a tourist stay of up to 120 days. If you hold another nationality, the rules of your own country apply.

In its travel and safety advice the German Federal Foreign Office advises against travel to the border area with Algeria, and also against travel south and south-east of a line running through Tozeur and Nafta, Douz, Ksar Ghilane, Tataouine and Zarzis. The Tozeur Oasis golf course lies on this line. For a visit there it is advisable to read the current advice beforehand. The information is as of 14 November 2026.

For entry without the booking confirmation of a package holiday, the advice also mentions possible proof of financial means. If you have booked a package holiday, it therefore makes sense to keep the confirmation to hand on entry.

Golf trips with your golf club

Golf clubs from Germany also travel to Tunisia with their members. Golf Club Schloss Auel offered two trips in November 2026, one to Tunisia from 7 to 14 November and one to Hammamet from 14 to 21 November. A golf pro accompanies both trips. The dates fall in the high season of the golf courses, when the golf season in Germany comes to an end.

How you plan the trip to Tunisia

These steps help you with a golf trip to Tunisia.

  1. PassportIt is advisable to check the validity of your passport first, because it must still be valid for six months on entry.
  2. RegionFor a week with several golf courses, Hammamet with two facilities or Sousse with four courses in less than half an hour are good choices.
  3. Travel timeHigh season runs from September to May. In summer the green fees are lower, but an early tee time makes sense.
  4. PackageIf you play several rounds on the same course, a package of several green fees can be helpful.
  5. Golf bagIt is advisable to book the golf bag together with the flight. What to look out for is explained in the guide Flying to your golf trip.
