Tunsia 2009 Value for money is the word on all of our lips at escorted golf tours, whether it is a luxury long hall or a price conscious short hall in these current economic times it is very important that we feel our clients are getting great value from one of our holidays. To this end Tunisia certainly fits the bill, a four star all inclusive hotel right on the beach, four rounds of golf, transfer to and from the airport, Stableford competition with a £100 first prize for ladies and men and all for £649 excluding flights. Now that's good value for money. Only two hours thirty minuets flight time to Monastair airport and a thirty minuet transfer to our four star Rui Hotel at Port el Kantaoui. The hotel is very well situated with golden sands and the Mediterranean to the rear and two golf courses to the front and side and a short stroll to the El Kantaoui Port on the other side. Here at the Port you can find lots of restaurants, shops, cruises for the more adventurous or just sit and while the way the hours as we like to do over beer. Staying in an all inclusive hotel tends to put a damper on dining out, so I cannot say if the restaurants are good or bad from my own experience however Mary from our escorted golf tours team recommends them as being excellent. I will say wine is a problem if you are a connoisseur, however after a couple of glasses even the Tunisian wine starts to taste a little better. The two golf courses are both designed by Ronald Fream, the Panoramic and the Sea Courses, as you might have guessed the Panoramic is a little undulating as you climb up to the top of the course although it is downhill for the last few holes. This course is on a bigger scale than its counterpart with more room off the tee and larger greens. The sea course shorter flatter and much narrower, with tiny greens, you get the feeling you should take it apart, but it is very tricky. Both courses are in reasonable condition although we do play preferred lies, and it is worth noting that spring is the best time to play, as the heat is so intense throughout the summer months they loose the courses completely and have to regenerate them in the autumn ready for the season. There are some great tourist spots in and around the area, a day's tour of Carthage certainly will not disappoint and nearer to home a taxi ride which is not for the weak of heart to Sousse is great fun, bargaining in the souks a must. On another note of warning if you are offered a free trip to Sousse and a visit to a carpet factory unless you really want a carpet avoid at all costs, as the only motivation is to sell you carpets it reminds me of that Rowan Atkinson advert for the well known credit card, although those that went on the magic carpet ride I did promise they would remain nameless, unless of course you cross my palm with silver. The ladies winners were in third place from Cannons
Brook Ann Denis in second place also from Cannons Brook Sheila Lee
and the winner from Stoke by Nayland Ann Thomas. Later this year we are running another value
for money tour to Islantilla on the Spanish Algarve, visit escortedgolftours.co.uk
for details, we hope you can join us.
