When is the best time of year to plan a golf trip to Bulolo District?

We highly recommend visiting during the dry season, typically from May to October, for the most enjoyable golf. The fairways will be firmer, and you'll avoid the heavy downpours that can make play challenging during the wet months. Expect warm, humid conditions year-round, so pack light.
