Courses

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to visit Kabwe District for golf?

We've found the dry season, roughly May to October, offers the most pleasant conditions for golf in Kabwe. You'll enjoy clear skies and comfortable temperatures, making your round much more enjoyable than during the humid rains. This period ensures the course is typically at its best, too.

Is Kabwe District worth a dedicated golf trip, considering it only has one course?

Honestly, a dedicated multi-day golf trip just for Kabwe's single course might be a stretch unless you're truly seeking a unique, off-the-beaten-path experience. We recommend integrating a round here as a memorable stop if you're already traveling through Zambia, perhaps en route to Lusaka or the Copperbelt. It's a charming local course, but not a destination in itself for golf fanatics.

What's the golf course like in Kabwe District - what can I expect from the layout and conditions?

You'll find a classic, somewhat rustic parkland layout at Kabwe Golf Club, with mature trees defining many of the fairways. While not always in championship condition, the greens are generally true, and it offers a fun, straightforward challenge that rewards accurate iron play. It's a genuine local experience, far from resort golf.

How much does it cost to play golf in Kabwe District, and how do I get there?

Green fees at Kabwe Golf Club are incredibly reasonable, often just $15-25 USD, making it a great value for a round in Zambia. Getting there is straightforward-Kabwe is about a two-hour drive north of Lusaka on a well-maintained highway, and we recommend hiring a private transfer or driving yourself. You won't find public transport directly to the club.

Are there any other attractions or activities in Kabwe District beyond the golf course?

Absolutely, Kabwe has a rich mining history, and you can explore the remnants of its past as Zambia's first town. We suggest visiting the Big Tree-a massive fig tree that served as a historical meeting point-or simply soaking in the local market atmosphere for a taste of authentic Zambian life. It's a chance to experience a different side of the country.
