Golf Citrus
An international golf concept created around seven lakes in a 173-
hectare large area with olive trees and forests and located only a
few minutes away from the bay of Hammamet.
The course designed by Ronald Fream makes full use of the natural
characteristics of the area with the slightly undulating ground of the
olive grove and the steep hills of the forest. This winding and rolling
golf course, surrounded by a forest of pine trees and designed according to the dominant winds (northeast and northwest) is laid out especially for players with a good level because of the blind holes and the different water traps and bunkers that are guarding the
undulating greens. You will be playing on La Foręt championship course, 18 holes - Par 72 - 6066m.
