La Mer/Les Acacias Course
Djerba Golf Club
About this course
Djerba Golf Club sits on the island of Djerba off Tunisia's southeastern coast, where the Mediterranean meets the Sahara's influence. British architect Martin Hawtree designed the facility's two courses, La Mer and Les Acacias, which share the property near Midoun and offer contrasting experiences within the island's distinctive landscape. The routing takes advantage of Djerba's flat to gently rolling terrain, characteristic of this low-lying island known more for its beaches and historic sites than dramatic elevation changes. La Mer, as its name suggests, incorporates views and breezes from the nearby Mediterranean, with the coastal setting influencing both strategy and atmosphere. Les Acacias takes its character from the inland vegetation, including the acacia trees that provide definition and framing throughout the layout. Hawtree's design work accommodates the climate and soil conditions of North Africa, where irrigation and turf management differ significantly from European parkland golf. The courses serve both resort visitors drawn to Djerba's tourism infrastructure and local players, functioning within Tunisia's modest but established golf community. The facility represents one of several golf developments along Tunisia's coast, part of the country's effort to diversify its Mediterranean tourism appeal. While not a tournament venue of international note, the club provides year-round golf in a region where winter temperatures remain mild, attracting European visitors seeking off-season play. The dual-course layout allows for variety across extended stays on an island better known historically for its ancient synagogue and traditional architecture than for golf.

From the terminal, it's a brief fifteen-minute transfer east along coastal roads where whitewashed villages and date palms frame views of the Mediterranean, the landscape growing quieter as you approach the resort zone of Midoun. The final turn reveals the club's manicured fairways stretching toward the sea, a verdant oasis where the ancient rhythms of island life meet the refined pleasures of modern golf.
