Golf in Cameroon
Including Yaoundé Golf Club. On the map.
The vibe
Golfing here feels like a colonial-era throwback, with courses that are often rustic, sun-baked, and integrated into the local landscape rather than manicured to international standards. The sport is played year-round, though the heat of the midday sun makes early morning rounds the only comfortable option. It is a quiet, low-key affair where you are likely to be one of the few visitors on the green.
