OKIJA TO THE WORLD WITH ACROPOLIS GOLF COURSE - A NEW DIMENSION TO TOURISM IN RECREATIONAL SOUTH EAST

80 golfers for Acropolis golf course launch
11th March 2024

A new world-class golf facility, Acropolis Golf Course, is set to be launched in Ihiala, Anambra State by April 5, 2024. The golf course is a standard nine-hole par 36 course with two par-3s and two par-5s.

Over 80 professional golfers and amateurs are expected to be part of the ceremony that will feature an 18-hole tournament and extensive tour of the facility.

The golf course, will be opened to the public from Friday April 5, among other activities lined from till Sunday April 7 2024.

Facility manager of Nest Oil who manages the project, Obioma Ogakwu, said the golf course will complement his company’s social investment in the South East region of Nigeria, and help expand options for internal tourists visiting Anambra.


“Golf is one sport that has been growing silently in the country, and this project hopes to accelerate it and help the state harness its potential for social and economic growth.”

Former Nigeria number one professional golfer, who has been working with the facility owners to bring some of its characters to international specifications, said the course would change the dynamics for the game.

“The standard that has been set with the Acropolis Golf Course tells of the passion of the owners, and their drive for excellence, which is needed to raise the demand for quality golf facilities in the country.”

“The South Eastern states of Nigeria have fewer golf facilities despite having immense golfing talents and contributed hugely to the local golf tourism. I believe Acropolis will do to Anamabra what major golf courses have done to the tourism value of Federal Capital, Abuja, Akwa Ibom, Rivers, and Lagos states.”

Anambra

I was looking for government money in this golf course so I could say golf will not solve hunger, but I haven't found any government money yet, and whoever invested to build the golf course is not responsible for solving anyone's hunger.

So well done golf course builders. When you are done, can you please be the first to build a Formula One race course too please, if only to make others envy Anambra and show Nigerians what is possible.
