We have 1 golf courses in Gambia, The in our golf course database.
If you are traveling to Gambia, you are not going to want to miss, the Fajara Club. The club is home to a great 18 hole, par 69, golf course. The course is open to green-fee players which you can pay for per day or per week. You are going to want to be sure to exchange your currency for Dalasis, as this is all the course accepts. At the course you are able to hire caddies, rent brown-sweepers (as the “greens” are made of packed oil and sand), rent clubs, and purchase balls.
If you are bringing the family along, and they are not into golf, the club is a great place to watch the birds and other wildlife that may creep in. The course also has a swimming pool, tennis, squash, and a great informal bar and restaurant.

Seve Ballesteros
FORE! Lee Westwood ball ends up in a woman's shirt !!!
Lee Westwood hooked his drive on the 13th hole into a crowd of folks at the Ritz Charlton Golf Course as a part of the Accenture Match Play Championship.
This is maybe not news but where the ball landed is incredible..... The ball somehow made it's way into a woman's shirt as seen in the video below.
What would have been funnier is if the lady would have taken a run towards the green and dropped the ball there or even dropped it in the hole :)
