In fact, Tunisia is set to become even more popular as an “out of season” target for golfers from Northern Europe, keen to get away from the wintry conditions on their local courses.
Although Tunisian winters might not hold the sweltering heat of the height of summer, the “winter” climate is perfect for golf, and is enjoyed by amateurs and professionals alike.
The El Kantaoui Golf Course which was built in 1979 on a 130 ha site to coincide with the opening of the Port El Kantaoui resort complex, has been the venue for several Tunisian Opens.
Stretching from the sea, up the side of a hill, it encompases two 18 hole courses, each offering different challenges and playing conditions.
The "Sea View Course" extends from the beach to the hill and the "Panorama Course" starts from the hill and extends inland through the residential district.
The "Sea Course" seems to be the easier of the two as the "Panorama Course" is considered as the championship course for its technical and tougher holes surrounded by olive
trees and small lakes.
The course is an ecological site, noted for its rich flora & fauna, reminiscent of a botanical garden with its varied flowers, bushes & ornamental trees.
