Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play golf at Ikoyi Club, considering Lagos weather?

You'll find the most enjoyable conditions during Lagos's dry season, typically from November to March. The fairways are firmer, and the humidity is lower, making for a much more comfortable round than during the intense rainy season. Aim for early mornings to beat the heat, even in the dry months.

Can international visitors or non-members play at Ikoyi Club, and how do I arrange a tee time?

Yes, non-members can play, but you'll usually need a member to sponsor you or arrange a guest pass. We recommend contacting the club's golf section in advance to understand their current guest policy and secure a tee time, as it's a popular spot. Expect to pay a guest green fee, which is reasonable for the experience.

What unique challenges or features should I expect on the Ikoyi Club course itself?

The course is a lush, tropical oasis, so expect mature trees lining many fairways, demanding accuracy off the tee. You'll encounter some tricky water hazards and greens that can be surprisingly undulating, so a good short game is essential here. Embrace the local caddies; their course knowledge is invaluable.
