Kabale Golf Course

Kabale Golf Club, nestled in the picturesque south-west corner of Uganda, is a delightful 9-hole course that captivates golf enthusiasts. Its location near Lake Bunyonyi makes it a natural golfing destination, where players can enjoy both the greens and the stunning natural surroundings. The course presents a challenging layout with numerous bunkers, trees, and roads demanding precision and strategy. Despite its deceptively serene appearance, Kabale Golf Club proves to be much harder than it looks oh, and as you tee off, keep an eye out for the abundant birdlife, including nesting pairs of Crested Cranes!

The golf course was founded in 1930 however in recent years fell into disrepair before undergoing refurbishment in 2012 with 2013 seeing a return of professional tournaments at the course with the John Ngorogoza Memorial Tournament. Kabale golf course also recently hosted the White Horse Inn golf tournament won by Entebbe based golfer Abraham Ainemani. Described as "the most challenging par-69 9-hole golf course in Uganda" it covers 150 acres of land and golfers not only have to navigate many trees and bunkers but also an abundance of wildlife as the golf course in next to gorilla trekking hotspots! Membership is 120,000/- per annum for first time players (there are around 40 members) with play being 5000/- a time (just under £1.)
