Recently, former President Goodluck Jonathan visited the Golf Course and expressed his admiration for the work done so far by the Bayelsa State government.

Governor Douye Diri also expressed the commitment of his administration to completing the world-class golf project very soon.

Diri, a former Commissioner for Sports and Youth Development in the state, said his government placed much premium on sports infrastructure and development.

when completed would help drive sports tourism in the state, noting that many professional golfers in neighbouring Rivers State are from Bayelsa State.

He said: “When finished, the Golf Course will be the first PGA standard 18 hole golf course in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State capital.

I'm so happy,atleast what we use to see in south africa more often will now be in my dear country. I'm not a fan of the sport but i really like golf course.

Sixty per cent of professional golfers in neighbouring Rivers State are from Bayelsa. When completed, Bayelsa State could replace Rivers State as home of the PGA tournaments in the Niger Delta.”
