The Achimota Golf Club
The Achimota Golf Club is nestled in a wooded area, located about ten kilometers north of central Accra, on the grounds of Achimota School. Golf has been played in Accra since the early 20th century on five nine-hole courses. Although the Achimota course was established later, it remains the only course to have withstood the extensive development that has transformed Accra from a quiet colonial outpost into a vibrant commercial hub.
Whether you’re teeing off with friends, honing your skills at the driving range, or enjoying a leisurely walk along the fairways, Achimota Golf Club provides a unique opportunity for relaxation and rejuvenation. With every swing, you’ll be immersed in an environment where the beauty of the game takes center stage.
So, leave your worries at the clubhouse and allow the calming rhythm of golf to envelop you. At Achimota Golf Club, we invite you to experience the transformative essence of this timeless sport—because sometimes, all it takes is a round of golf to help you forget everything else.
