Golf in Gambia
Including Fajara Golf Course. On the map.
The vibe
Golfing here is a laid-back, sun-drenched affair that feels more like a casual afternoon in the tropics than a competitive sporting event. The winter months provide the most pleasant conditions for playing a full round under the clear, dry skies. It is a quiet, visitor-friendly experience where the pace of play matches the slow rhythm of the coast.

Fajara Golf Course is the premier golfing destination in The Gambia, offering a unique coastal layout that blends natural vegetation with challenging seaside holes. It is the primary hub for international visitors and local enthusiasts seeking a round in the West African sun.
Access. Located in Bakau, it is easily accessible by taxi from the main tourist areas in Senegambia and Banjul. Visitors can book tee times directly through the club office.
Notes. Best played during the cooler dry season from November to May. Casual but respectful golf attire is expected.
