Chainama Hills Golf Club occupies one of the more distinctive settings in southern African golf, laid out across the undulating ridgeline of the Chainama Hills on the eastern outskirts of Lusaka. The course sits at an elevation that tempers the Zambian heat and opens up sweeping views across the bush, with the surrounding miombo woodland giving the layout a natural, unhurried character that feels genuinely removed from the capital's bustle — even though the city is only minutes away.
Lusaka's golf scene is small but serious, and Chainama Hills is a cornerstone of it, attracting a loyal membership as well as visitors passing through one of sub-Saharan Africa's more underrated golf destinations. Playing golf at altitude on Zambian soil means the ball travels noticeably farther than the yardage suggests, and the kikuyu and local grasses behave differently enough from European or American turf to reward local knowledge.
For travelers combining a visit to Zambia's national parks or Victoria Falls with a round of golf, Chainama Hills offers something genuinely local — a club with its own rhythms, rooted in the life of the city around it.
