Flamingo Golf Course
Monastir
Set on elevated terrain overlooking the Mediterranean near Monastir, Flamingo Golf Course offers one of the most scenic and varied golf experiences in Tunisia. Designed by Ronald Fream, the 18-hole championship layout makes excellent use of the natural landscape, with rolling hills, olive groves and sweeping sea views shaping the course.
The layout is more technical than many resort courses in the region, with elevation changes, doglegs and strategically placed hazards requiring careful shot selection. Fairways can be generous in places, but approach shots demand accuracy, particularly on holes where the terrain slopes towards water or rough. The back nine, in particular, stands out for its views and more dramatic design.
Flamingo strikes a great balance between challenge and playability. It’s engaging enough for experienced golfers, while still offering an enjoyable round for mid-handicappers. The combination of coastal scenery and varied hole design keeps things interesting throughout.
Its location just outside Monastir means it’s easily accessible from nearby resorts, making it a popular choice for golf holiday groups. It works well as part of a Tunisia itinerary, offering a slightly more strategic test compared to flatter, more forgiving courses.

About The Area
Monastir is a relaxed coastal city on Tunisia’s Sahel Coast, known for its sandy beaches, marina atmosphere and historic landmarks. Positioned just south of Sousse, it offers golfers a quieter alternative to Hammamet while still providing access to quality resort golf and reliable year-round sunshine.
The area’s main venue is Flamingo Golf Course, set slightly inland on elevated terrain overlooking the coastline. This 18-hole course is known for its open fairways, natural undulations and panoramic sea views. The layout is relatively forgiving from the tee, making it enjoyable for a wide range of golfers, but approach play requires care due to sloping greens and occasional elevation changes. Wind can also play a role, particularly on the more exposed holes. Nearby, golfers can also access courses around Sousse, adding variety to a stay in the region.
Golf in Monastir benefits from Tunisia’s Mediterranean climate. The prime playing season runs from October to April, when temperatures are warm but comfortable — making it an ideal winter-sun destination for UK golfers.
Off the course, Monastir offers a mix of culture and coastal relaxation. The historic Ribat of Monastir is one of the country’s most impressive landmarks, while the marina area provides restaurants, cafés and a laid-back evening atmosphere. Beaches are easily accessible, and the city’s smaller scale makes it easy to unwind between rounds.
For golfers seeking a quieter coastal base with scenic golf, reliable sunshine and easy access to nearby resort areas, Monastir delivers a relaxed and enjoyable Tunisian golf escape.
