about us

Established in 1936 as a recreational activity for the employees of the Copper Mines, Nchanga Golf Club got into the habit of holding major competitions a decade later when the Northern Rhodesia Championship was first played over the course in 1947. The course is a classic parkland layout set within a relatively large, undulating site where holes are beautifully routed to make good use of the natural topography and the crystal clear nchanga stream that run through the property.

It’s not a particularly long course but water comes into play on many holes and fairways are tree lined on either side, demanding accuracy off the tee and with the approach shot.

South African Mark Wiltshire upgraded the course before the Zambian Open returned to Nchanga in 2011 when he installed a new irrigation system, constructed new bunker positions and improved green surrounds.
