Golf in Cape Verde
We have 1 golf courses in Cape Verde in our golf course database.
Cape Verde is a tropical paradise. The cost of living has gone way down, making it the perfect time to travel to the islands. Year round temperatures average 24 degrees Celsius, making anytime a great time to travel.
If you are looking to golf while on vacation, hop over to Sao Vicente, where you can play an 18 hole course. The course is not the best course you will have played on, due to the little rain the islands get. The course is quite dry, but still fun to play!
The best part about taking a trip to the Cape Verde Islands is you don’t have to spend a fortune. You can go out to dinner for merely $5 per person. It is expensive to purchase meat, as it has to be imported, but sea food and drinks are cheap!
Mindelo Golf Course
Golf was played on Sal by South Africans from the airline, but the course fell into decline. There is a Golf Club with18 holes outside Mindelo on Sao Vicente. This held an international golf championship in1906. The club was founded in 1893 by British merchants and was the first sporting club of any kind in Cape Verde.There are a lot of proposals with somewhat undefined plans to build new courses on Sal, Santiago and Sao Vicente, with associated villa developments. These will require large-scale desalination and very special grasses to survive in the arid and saline conditions.

Famous golf quotes
I'd like to design something like a city or a museum. I want to do something hands on rather than just play golf which is the sport of the religious right.

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 :)
