Rössmund Golf Course, Swakopmund,
Namibia: Rössmund Golf Course is a veritable oasis in the heart of the Namib
desert, and one of only five 18 hole fully grassed desert courses in the world. Graced with resident buck of the Namib and morning duets of the desert
shrike, Rossmund is a tranquil and unfortgettable experience, a solace for the soul. No
rush, no stress, no crowds. Truly a gem, the only one of its kind and just waiting to be
discovered ...
The Course: The course, situated in the middle of the Namib Desert, is truly
spectacular. The course lies at the dry riverbed of the Swakop Rivier, some 5 kilometres
outside of Swakopmund. The fairways are green throughout and are permanently irrigated.
Expect to see springbok and numerous birds
and even the odd antelope during play. The club house is modern and offers a bar,
restaurant and driving range.
Namibia is a vast land of
intriguing contrasts, populated by a dramatic diversity of people; it is home to the
arresting and private Himba tribe as well as a large population of German-speaking
nationals. ....
