We’d rather be playing… Yasmine Valley, Hammamet
There is a very good reason that thousands flock to Tunisia every year with golden beaches, warm Mediterranean waters and truly excellent value for money. The country boasts no less than 12 championship courses in seven different resorts, one of the most popular being Hammamet.
The Course
Yasmine Valley opened in 1991 and is much more than your typical resort course. Situated just off the main road from Tunis to Sousse it runs through pine and olive groves with two loops of nine coming back to the clubhouse.
With plenty of par 5s, elevated tees, dramatic bunkers, multi-tiered greens and a meandering creek it will more than keep your interest throughout. There is also the nine-hole Executive course.
The Deals
There is a variety of outstanding four and five-star accommodation within easy reach of the course, with short and long-stay packages available to suit all needs.
When booking go through the website to take advantage of some excellent discounts.
