Courses

Frequently Asked Questions

Is ǁKharas Region worth visiting for a dedicated golf trip, given it only has one course?

Look, if you're expecting a multi-course golf safari, this isn't it. However, the single course offers a truly unique desert golf experience that's worth playing if you're in the area and want something different. We recommend combining it with the region's incredible natural attractions for a well-rounded trip.

When is the best time of year to play golf in the ǁKharas Region?

We've found the cooler months from April to October are ideal for golf here. Summers can be brutally hot, making those afternoon rounds a real challenge, so stick to early mornings if you visit then. You'll enjoy more comfortable play and clearer skies during the shoulder seasons.

What kind of golf experience can I expect at the region's only course?

You'll find a surprisingly well-maintained course, often with a distinct desert links feel, given its surroundings. Expect firm fairways and greens that demand precision, with the stark, beautiful landscape providing a dramatic backdrop to every shot. It's a challenging but rewarding round that truly stands out.

Beyond the golf course, what else should I explore in the ǁKharas Region?

Honestly, the region's natural beauty is its biggest draw after the golf. We highly recommend exploring the Fish River Canyon, which is breathtaking, or visiting the ghost town of Kolmanskop for a fascinating historical detour. It's the perfect place to blend a unique golf round with incredible sightseeing.

How does the cost of golf and travel in ǁKharas Region compare to other South African golf destinations?

Compared to major golf hubs in South Africa, ǁKharas Region offers good value, especially for green fees. Accommodation can range from budget-friendly guesthouses to more upscale lodges, but generally, you won't face the premium prices of Cape Town or Sun City. Factor in travel costs, as it's a bit off the beaten path, but the overall experience feels like a worthwhile investment.
