We've found the dry season, from May to October, offers the most comfortable rounds at Chilanga. You'll enjoy cooler mornings and less humidity, making those back nine holes much more pleasant. Avoid the peak rainy season if you can, as some fairways can get quite soft.

What's the biggest challenge or most memorable hole at Chilanga Golf Course?

Chilanga really tests your short game, especially around the greens which can be deceptively tricky and often slope away. Keep an eye out for the par-3 7th; it's a beautiful hole with a water hazard that demands precision, a real card-wrecker if you're not careful.

Is Chilanga Golf Course a good value for money compared to other courses in Zambia?

How easy is it to get to Chilanga Golf Course from Lusaka, and is transportation readily available?

Chilanga is a straightforward drive just south of Lusaka, typically taking about 30-40 minutes depending on traffic. We recommend arranging a taxi or ride-share service in advance for convenience, as public transport options directly to the course are limited.
