Phakalane Golf Club

Beautiful course, no doubt !

Can't never betray my home club, I have only good things to say about this Golf Club to the TSGers. Come to play with me in Gaborone, Botswana and I promise you your experience of playing golf here will be a unique one! First, me - the host - for sure is excellent. Then the Clubhouse/Hospitality in this club is very good for Botswana norms (staff is always too slow, too easy going and too kind, their smiles are the reward for your patience, so keep your head cool 24x7. Honestly it took me a while to accept that, but eventually you all will get there, just like how bad your shots are, you will putt our ball in the hole, eventually....). Drought is part of life in this part of the black continent with a severe shortage of water the whole year through and I salute the club's management for the maintenance of the course as beautiful and as green as it is. Although giving a (haft) thumb down for the Club's Practice Facilities, we have such a beautiful practicing green to use, and fairly good range to start your warm up shots, so I've voted for its 5* in terms of Value for Money. Voilà !

  

In Botswana? Play golf at Phakalane

Just a fabulous course - wide fairways, big greens but a fair amount of water to test your skills, gullys to be wary of and watch out for the snakes if you go into the rough!! Take a caddy or ball spotter.
