Courses

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the golf course like in Gobabis?

You'll find the Gobabis Golf Club offers a truly unique desert golf experience, far from manicured resort courses. Expect sand greens and a laid-back, welcoming atmosphere where local camaraderie is as much a part of the game as your swing.

When's the best time to play golf in Gobabis?

We recommend visiting during Namibia's dry winter months, from May to September, for the most comfortable golf. The days are pleasantly warm, and you'll avoid the intense summer heat and occasional downpours that can make a round less enjoyable.

Is it worth traveling to Gobabis just for golf?

While Gobabis only has one course, it's absolutely worth a stop if you're exploring eastern Namibia or en route to the Kalahari. It offers a genuinely authentic, unpretentious golf experience you won't find at many other places, making it a memorable detour rather than a standalone golf destination.

What else is there to do around Gobabis besides golf?

Beyond the greens, Gobabis is known as the 'Cattle Country' capital and a gateway to the Kalahari, offering a taste of authentic Namibian rural life. You can explore local markets, visit nearby cattle farms, or use it as a base for day trips into the stunning, vast landscapes of the surrounding semi-desert.

What should I expect regarding costs and booking for golf in Gobabis?

Golfing in Gobabis is refreshingly affordable and straightforward; you won't encounter resort-level green fees or complex booking systems. We suggest calling ahead to confirm tee times, but often you can simply arrive and join a friendly local game, making it a very relaxed and budget-friendly outing.
