Terrain-led routing
Holes follow the natural ridges of the Obinze plain instead of cutting across them. Elevation is subtle but constant — very few genuinely flat lies.
The course
Eighteen holes cut through palm, ridge and red earth.
A course designed to be enjoyable on your first visit and interesting on your fiftieth — playable from the front tees, demanding from the back.
Course features
What makes Arsenal play the way it does
The character of the golf comes from the site itself: palms, ridgelines and laterite. Nothing here is imported scenery.
Palm-framed corridors
Mature oil palms define the fairway edges. They punish a wild drive without swallowing it, and they turn a crosswind into a real decision.
Laterite and sand hazards
Bunkering uses local sand, and several waste areas expose the red laterite beneath the turf — playable, photogenic, and unmistakably here.
Championship greens
Large, gently contoured putting surfaces maintained at tournament speed for the Governor's Cup and kept fair for members the rest of the year.
Multiple tee positions
Each hole is set up for a range of abilities, so a beginner and a scratch player can enjoy the same round from different markers.
Year-round playability
Drainage and turf selection are built for the rainy season; irrigation carries the course through the harmattan months.
The playing experience
How a round unfolds
01
Your first nine
The outward holes open the course gently — width off the tee, generous approach areas, and a chance to find your rhythm before the wind picks up.
02
The turn
A short walk past the clubhouse. Most groups stop for water and a snack; the halfway service will find you if you don't.
03
The closing stretch
The finish tightens. Approach angles matter more, the greens ask more of your putter, and the terrace is watching from above the last green.

Visitors and etiquette
Visitors are welcome. Book a tee time in advance, especially at weekends and around tournament weeks, and arrive twenty minutes before your slot.
Standard golf dress applies on the course: collared shirt, golf shoes with soft spikes, no denim. The clubhouse has its own, slightly more relaxed, dress code.
Play it before you judge it.
