Courses
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the golf experience like in Livingstone District, considering there's only one course?
Don't expect a multi-course golf trip here; Livingstone is all about the singular experience at Livingstone Royal Golf Club. It's a classic parkland layout, well-maintained, and offers a surprisingly enjoyable round that feels a world away from the tourist bustle. We found it a pleasant challenge, perfect for a relaxed afternoon.
When is the best time to visit Livingstone for a golf trip?
We highly recommend visiting during the dry season, typically May to October. The weather is cooler and less humid, making for much more comfortable rounds, and the course conditions are generally at their peak. Avoid the intense heat and heavy rains of the wet season if golf is your priority.
Can I easily combine a round of golf with other activities in Livingstone?
Absolutely, and we encourage it! Livingstone Royal Golf Club is conveniently located, making it easy to fit in a morning game before heading to Victoria Falls or an afternoon safari. It's the perfect complement to the region's incredible natural attractions, not a standalone golf destination.
What should I expect regarding facilities and booking at Livingstone Royal Golf Club?
The club offers a welcoming, laid-back atmosphere with essential facilities, including a pro shop and a clubhouse for a post-round drink. Green fees are quite reasonable by international standards, and while booking ahead is always wise, you'll often find availability without much hassle, especially on weekdays.
Is Livingstone District a primary golf destination, or more of a pleasant surprise?
Let's be direct: you're not coming to Livingstone solely for golf; you're coming for Victoria Falls and the incredible wildlife. However, the Livingstone Royal Golf Club is a fantastic, unexpected bonus that offers a quality round in a unique setting. It's definitely worth packing your clubs if you're already in the area.
