Citrus Golf Tunisia

What a beautiful course, with 2 18 hole courses it would be a shame not to go back and play here again. We played on the Forest course, hired golf clubs and a buggy and we were not disappointed in the slightest, well maybe my score could have been better but I would change anything about the Citrus Golf Club.

Myself and my partner booked the course a few weeks before our holiday. The emails were answered swiftly and as this was our first golfing trip whilst abroad we decided we would just hire everything and see what it was like.

The day we arrived we were greeted by a very friendly chap and he took us to reception. The lady there was very helpful, made sure we had everything that we asked for and the pro shop sorted us out with balls, tee’s and gloves as we both forgot our gloves, bonus is we have a new one for the summer.

Pricing was a little higher than we would have liked but with everything included we paid and were sent downstairs to the caddy who sorted us with golf clubs and a very nice new buggy and off we went.

Playing blind had its disadvantages to our game but that didn’t matter we loved the course and soon settled in to it. The driver I was given didn’t have as much flex in it as mine so I did find my drives were going as far as I wanted. My partner seemed to get a lot of height with his, he just wasn’t a fan of the putter. I got the only par of the day on hole 14 which I was very proud of myself, my partner not so much as he was very close on a lot of holes and he even managed a putt from 20ft.

The bunkers seemed to like our balls and I was very grateful to the ladies tee on the eighteenth as I didn’t have to clear the water hazard, although my partner cleared that, the fairway and the trees caught his ball, which was nice of them.

At the end we handed clubs and buggy back and headed to the bar. We both got a sneak peak at the changing rooms and they were clean, big and the staff in them were very helpful especially when I got lost in there trying to find the loo. We enjoyed some nice beers in the sun and the staff were very helpful. Wish we had stayed longer to try the restaurant but that’s for next time.

Favourite part was the buggy, with the temperature being in the 20’s it was a great decision and I still got in over 10,000 steps.

Least favourite part has to be the guy trying to sell us balls round the course and we don’t think he was employed by the golf club as there was an employee who was driving round with snacks and drinks and he asked if we needed balls which we didn’t but was very appreciative of his cans of coke and crisps.

Would we go back? Yes maybe even try the harder course next time and I also believe there is a course next door called the Yasmine. If we did go back and decide to play for more than one day then I would look at taking our own clubs.

Beautiful course, great location, stunning grounds, wish I was golfing here everyday.
