La Cigale Tabarka Golf, a masterpiece by Californian architect Ronald Fream, is a testament to his genius. Inspired by the famous Cypress Point Club course at Pebble Beach, Fream has perfectly integrated the course into the rich and varied landscape. The course, with its pine forests, cork oaks, beaches, cliffs, and the sea, offers a unique and challenging experience that players will remember for a lifetime. Following in the footsteps of the Challenge Tour players in 1995, our rising stars will have to display all their talent if they want to put in a good performance on this challenging course.
Tunisia offers a captivating blend of quality golf destinations, history, luxury, and unrivaled experiences. The town of Tabarka is a coastal town in the Northwest of Tunisia, close to the border of Algeria. It is set between the sea and the mountains and is dominated by an offshore rock where the remains of a castle are found. Tabarka is known for its coral fishing, a world-renowned golf course, La Cigale Tabarka Golf, and an underwater photography festival.
The 2024 Tunisian Golf Open is grateful for the support of the following institutional sponsors: Tunisian National Tourism Office (ONTT), La Cigale Tabarka Hôtel-Thalasso-Golf, and the national airline Tunisair.
