About this course

La Fôret at Citrus Golf Club occupies a distinctive setting in Hammamet, along Tunisia's northern coast where the Mediterranean climate supports both citrus cultivation and golf course development. Designed by Ronald Fream, an American architect known for his international portfolio and experience adapting courses to diverse climates and terrains, the layout reflects his approach to working within natural landscapes. The course name references the forested character of the property, where mature trees frame holes and define playing corridors. The routing takes advantage of the region's relatively flat to gently rolling topography, with strategic bunkering and water features providing definition and challenge where natural elevation changes are modest. Fream's design philosophy typically emphasizes playability for a range of skill levels while maintaining interest through varied hole lengths and strategic options from the tee. The tree-lined fairways create a parkland atmosphere somewhat distinct from the links-style courses found in other Mediterranean golf destinations. Citrus Golf Club serves both resort visitors to Hammamet, a popular tourist destination, and local membership. The facility benefits from Tunisia's position as an emerging golf market in North Africa, where favorable winter playing conditions attract European golfers seeking off-season alternatives. The club's amenities and course maintenance reflect standards developed to accommodate international play, though the course remains less widely known than Tunisia's more established championship venues near Tunis and Monastir.

Getting there

Most international visitors arrive via Tunis-Carthage International Airport (TUN), roughly an hour's drive northeast along the coastal highway that traces the Gulf of Hammamet. The route south skirts the azure Mediterranean before turning inland toward the Cap Bon Peninsula, where citrus groves and olive orchards begin to replace the urban sprawl of the capital. Private charters occasionally utilize Enfidha-Hammamet International Airport, which lies closer but sees limited commercial traffic - either way, the final approach to Citrus Golf Club unfolds through fragrant orchards and rolling terrain that feels worlds removed from the beachfront resorts lining Hammamet's famous shore.
