Compared to many international destinations, golf in Gaborone is quite affordable, offering excellent value. You can generally expect green fees to range from $30-60 USD, making it very accessible. We found caddies to be readily available and highly recommend them for local insights and course navigation.

Gaborone offers a relaxed urban experience with a few unique local touches that are worth exploring. We recommend a visit to the Gaborone Game Reserve for some easy wildlife viewing, or checking out the local markets for crafts and a taste of everyday life. It's a nice, low-key contrast to your time on the greens.
