Exécutif at Citrus Golf Club

The Exécutif course at Citrus Golf Club in Hammamet represents Ronald Fream's approach to accessible golf design along Tunisia's Mediterranean coast. Fream, an American architect known for his international portfolio and strategic design philosophy, created this layout as a shorter complement to the club's championship course, serving both as a practice facility for members and a less demanding option for resort guests visiting the Hammamet region. The course occupies terrain typical of the Tunisian coastal zone, where citrus groves and Mediterranean vegetation meet relatively flat to gently rolling topography.

As an executive-length layout, the course features a combination of par threes and short par fours designed to emphasize precision over distance. The routing takes advantage of the property's natural vegetation, with holes framed by mature trees and native plantings that provide definition and character despite the compact footprint. Water features and strategic bunkering create decision points appropriate to the shorter yardages, requiring thoughtful club selection and accurate approach play rather than length off the tee.

The Citrus Golf Club sits within Hammamet's established golf corridor, an area that developed as part of Tunisia's tourism infrastructure along the Cap Bon peninsula. The executive course serves recreational golfers, beginners building their skills, and experienced players seeking a quick round in a resort setting. Its design reflects Fream's understanding of golf's role in international resort destinations, where playability and pace complement the region's broader appeal as a Mediterranean holiday destination.
