Golf in Gabon
Including Golf de l'Impératrice. On the map.
The vibe
Golfing here is a niche pursuit, offering a quiet, low-key experience that feels like a private escape rather than a bustling resort holiday. The weather is most pleasant for a round during the cooler, drier months of the middle year. You will find the atmosphere relaxed and unpretentious, catering mostly to locals and expats rather than international golf tourists.
