Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time to plan a golf trip to Windhoek, Namibia?
Namibia's dry season, roughly May to October, offers ideal golf weather with clear skies and mild temperatures. You'll avoid the intense summer heat and occasional rains, making for a much more comfortable round on the course.
What can I expect from the golf course in Windhoek - is it worth the trip?
The Windhoek Golf & Country Club is a surprisingly lush oasis in a generally arid landscape, offering a challenging parkland layout. You'll find well-maintained greens and fairways, often framed by indigenous trees, providing a unique desert-meets-green experience that's definitely worth playing.
Since Windhoek only has one golf course, what other activities do you recommend for a golf-focused trip?
With just one course, you'll have plenty of time to explore Windhoek's unique charm. We suggest visiting the Christuskirche and the Alte Feste museum for a dose of history, or exploring the vibrant local craft markets. Consider a day trip to Daan Viljoen Game Park for some accessible wildlife viewing; it's a great contrast to the greens.
How easy is it for a visiting golfer to play at the Windhoek Golf & Country Club?
Playing as a visitor at Windhoek Golf & Country Club is straightforward and welcoming. We recommend calling ahead to book your tee time, especially on weekends, but walk-ins are often accommodated. You can easily rent clubs and trolleys on site, so don't worry about lugging your own gear.
What are the typical costs for a round of golf in Windhoek, and are there any hidden fees?
Green fees at Windhoek Golf & Country Club are quite reasonable compared to international standards, typically ranging from N$300-N$500 (around $20-$35 USD). Cart and club rentals are extra but also fairly priced; expect to pay another N$150-N$250 for those. There are no hidden fees, but a tip for the friendly caddies is always appreciated.
