Outjo Golf Course

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of wildlife can I expect to see while playing at Outjo Golf Course?

You'll definitely share the fairways with more than just your playing partners here. We've often spotted springbok grazing peacefully and even warthogs trotting across the rough, especially early in the morning. It's a truly unique experience that reminds you you're deep in Namibia's natural beauty, so keep an eye out and enjoy the company.

How challenging is the terrain at Outjo Golf Course, and what should I expect regarding course conditions?

Don't come expecting manicured resort greens; Outjo offers a rugged, authentic Namibian golf experience. The fairways are mostly hard-packed sand and natural scrub, demanding precise iron play, and the sand greens are a unique challenge that really test your short game. It's a course that rewards adaptability and a good sense of humor, offering a refreshing change from typical layouts.

When is the best time of year to play golf at Outjo, considering Namibia's climate?

We highly recommend visiting during Namibia's dry season, from May to October. The temperatures are much milder then, making for far more comfortable rounds, and the course conditions are generally at their most playable. Avoid the intense heat and potential downpours of the summer months if you want to truly enjoy your game.

Does Outjo Golf Course have any unique features or a signature hole that stands out?

Absolutely, the par-3 7th hole is a real standout for us. It plays over a natural rocky outcrop, demanding a precise carry to a small, elevated sand green, often with a swirling crosswind. It's a fantastic test of nerve and accuracy, offering incredible views of the surrounding bushveld - definitely a hole you'll remember.

Can I easily combine a round at Outjo Golf Course with other activities in the region?

Definitely! Outjo is perfectly situated as a stopover for those exploring northern Namibia, especially if you're heading to or from Etosha National Park. We suggest playing a morning round and then spending your afternoon exploring the nearby rock formations or even heading out for a quick game drive - it’s an ideal way to blend your passions.
