Golf lovers looking for golf holidays will be pleased to know that they now have a fabulous new destination in which to indulge their love of the sport – the Residence Golf Course, located in the African country of Tunisia.  It might not have been the first place to spring to mind, but the country boasts a temperate climate and several golf courses, and this one is just the latest.

This new golf course is Tunisia’s tenth 18-hole golf course.  It will open properly on the 20th October at the Residence Hotel.  The Residence Hotel is located between a salt lake and the Mediterranean Sea just fifteen minutes from the country’s capital, Tunis, and the ancient city of Carthage.

Tunisia’s tourist office states that Tunisia is the ideal place for a golfing break, as flights take only two and a half hours from London airports and the country has a great year-round climate.

There are other golf courses in the country, such as the Oasis Course in the Tunisian desert or the Golf de Carthage.

Whilst there, other great tourist destinations in Tunisia are the Gulf of Hammamet, boasting luxury hotel resorts, Yasmine Hammamet for tantalising restaurants and Sousse for busy street markets.
