Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Hole 3 such a tricky par-3 on this Namibian course?

You'll immediately notice the prevailing crosswind sweeping off the desert, making club selection a real headache. The green is also deceptively sloped, so aim for the front half to avoid a frustrating chip from behind.

Should I expect any unique wildlife sightings around Hole 3?

Absolutely, keep your eyes peeled for springbok grazing near the rough or even a desert-adapted bird of prey circling overhead. It's a truly wild setting, so don't be surprised by a curious gecko on the green.

What's your best practical tip for conquering Hole 3's unique conditions?

My advice is to always take one more club than you think you need, especially if the wind is up. Also, trust your short game-you'll likely need it to navigate the firm run-offs around the green.

What's the most memorable aspect of playing Hole 3 here in Namibia?

Beyond the golf, it's the sheer vastness of the Namibian landscape stretching out behind the green that truly captivates you. The stark beauty of the desert meeting the manicured fairway is a sight you won't soon forget.

When is the best time of day to play Hole 3 to get the most out of it?

I always recommend an early morning tee time to experience Hole 3 before the desert heat and winds really pick up. You'll enjoy cooler temperatures and the stunning golden light illuminating the course.
