Hole 6
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the most unique playing challenge you'll encounter on Hole 6 at this Namibian course?
Hole 6 often plays directly into or across a prevailing desert wind, making club selection incredibly tricky. The firm, sandy fairways also demand a different approach than lush courses; you'll need to master the bump-and-run to score well here.
When is the best time of year to play Hole 6, and what weather conditions should I prepare for?
We highly recommend visiting between May and September. During these cooler, drier months, you'll avoid the intense summer heat, though expect brisk mornings and a consistent, often strong, desert breeze throughout your round.
What unique natural features or wildlife encounters can I expect specifically on Hole 6?
Hole 6 is known for its stunning backdrop of ancient red dunes and often features local wildlife. Keep your eyes peeled for springbok grazing near the rough or even an elusive oryx making its way across the distant fairway - it's a truly wild golf experience.
What specific gear or preparation should I consider for tackling Hole 6's unique desert conditions?
Hydration is key; bring more water than you think you'll need, and wear a wide-brimmed hat and good sunglasses for the intense sun. We also suggest packing a few extra balls, as the desert scrub can be unforgiving if you stray from the fairway.
Is Hole 6 worth the journey to Namibia, and what's the typical cost for a round here?
Absolutely, Hole 6 offers an unforgettable, truly unique desert golf experience that's unlike anything else. Expect green fees to be in the range of N$800-1200 (approx. $45-65 USD), which we find to be excellent value for such a distinct adventure.
