History:
The present all-turfed golf course was originally built 25 years ago by Rössing Uranium Limited. The course was possibly one of the first to be constructed with the same grass on the tees, fairways and greens, but using different surface preparations. The greens are of particularly high quality. The first 9 holes were designed by Robert Trent-Jones and the second 9, established approximately 10 years later, were designed by Bill Kerr. The golf course was later taken over by private enterprise, as it remains today.

Surroundings :

The southern border of the course is the Swakop River. This is an ephemeral river which, in years of abundant rain, has flooded the course. The natural riverine bush provides protection for the fauna which roams freely throughout the area. In general the surrounding terrain consists of the harsh Namib Desert, which boasts its own unique beauty with a backdrop of the graceful Barchan dunes between Swakopmund and Walvis Bay and the Moon Landscape forming two contrasting features. A feature not to be forgotten is the Skeleton Coast where the great Atlantic Ocean pounds this arid desert where history records the grief of many mariners.
