Frequently Asked Questions

Is it worth planning a golf trip to Namibia's Erongo Region, given there are only two courses?

Absolutely, but think of it as a unique golf adventure rather than a high-volume golf destination. You'll find two distinct courses offering incredible desert-meets-ocean backdrops, a truly memorable experience you won't get anywhere else. We recommend combining it with the region's other stunning attractions to make the journey truly worthwhile.

What's the best time of year to play golf in the Erongo Region for optimal conditions?

We always suggest visiting during Namibia's cooler, dry season, typically from May to October. You'll enjoy pleasant temperatures perfect for a round, avoiding the intense summer heat and any potential for the brief, sporadic rains. The courses are usually in prime condition then, too.

What unique challenges or highlights should I expect from golfing in Erongo Region?

Be prepared for the wind, especially at the coastal course in Swakopmund-it can really test your game. The desert course near Walvis Bay offers a different challenge with its stark, beautiful landscape, demanding precision. Both provide incredible photo opportunities and a sense of isolation that's truly special.

How do the two golf courses in Erongo Region differ, and which one should I prioritize?

You'll find a striking contrast: Rossmund Golf Course near Swakopmund is a desert oasis with springbok roaming the fairways, while Walvis Bay Golf Course offers a more traditional links feel closer to the coast. We recommend playing both if time allows, but if you must choose, Rossmund's unique desert setting is an absolute must-play for its sheer novelty.

What are the typical green fees and overall costs for golfing in Namibia's Erongo Region?

You'll find green fees here are quite reasonable compared to many international destinations, typically ranging from $30-$60 USD per round. Carts and caddies are available at an additional, modest cost, making it an accessible and excellent value golf experience. It's a great way to enjoy quality golf without breaking the bank.
