Origins

Phakalane Estates developed the golf course as part of its large private residential and hospitality development north of central Gaborone. The company describes itself as Botswana's first PGA-standard golf-course and estate developer.

Design Philosophy

DDV Design Group's Douw van der Merwe produced an 18-hole championship routing with extensive constructed water and sand hazards. Published descriptions identify 15 dams and 75 bunkers across the property.

Development

Construction began in April 2000 and was completed in June 2002. Golf was integrated with the estate's hotel and residential components rather than developed as a stand-alone club.

Today

Phakalane remains part of the wider Phakalane Estates operation, combining an 18-hole championship golf course with hotel accommodation, practice facilities and residential development.
