We always recommend visiting during Nigeria's dry season, typically from November to March. You'll find the course in its best shape, with firmer fairways and less humidity, making for a much more enjoyable round. Avoid the heavy rains of July and August if you can, as conditions can get quite soggy.

Don't underestimate the local flora as a hazard!

Should I hire a caddie at Arsenal Golf Club, and what's the atmosphere like with local players?

Absolutely, we strongly advise taking a caddie - they're not just for carrying your bag; their local knowledge of the course's subtle breaks and tricky lies is invaluable. You'll find the local golfers incredibly welcoming and passionate, often eager to share a friendly chat or offer a tip, making for a truly authentic Nigerian golf experience.

How much should I budget for green fees at Arsenal Golf Club, and what's the easiest way to secure a tee time?
