Golf in Burundi
Including Bujumbura Golf Club. On the map.
The vibe
Golfing here is a niche pursuit centered around a single, quiet course that offers a relaxed atmosphere far from the competitive pace of international resorts. The weather is pleasant for a round throughout most of the year, though mornings are best to avoid the heat. It is a very low-key, local-friendly environment where you can easily walk onto the course without any fuss.

The Bujumbura Golf Club is the premier golfing destination in Burundi, offering a challenging course set against the backdrop of the rolling hills near Lake Tanganyika. It serves as a social and sporting hub for both local enthusiasts and international visitors seeking a unique golfing experience in East Africa.
Access. Located in the capital city of Bujumbura, the club is easily accessible by taxi or private car from the city center. Visitors are welcome to contact the club directly for tee times and membership information.
Notes. The course is best played during the dry season for optimal fairway conditions. Standard golf attire is expected, and guests should be prepared for warm, tropical weather.
