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.

Don't underestimate the local flora as a hazard!

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.
