I visited the Sofitel Malabo Sipopo to play the only 18 hole golf course on the Island, with my colleague whilst visiting the area for work. Eric the GM and All of his team in the hotel and in the Golf centre took excellent care of us from the time we arrived to the time we left. The Golf equipment hire was more than adequate and the friendly pro shop attendants helped us with some basic's tee's, balls, gloves, umbrella, towels etc....as well as preparing our hire clubs and trolley. The practice facilities was very good, a large outdoor driving range with practice balls included in the green fee's, with Putting & chipping practice area. The course was a real treat, front 9 encircling the back 9 lovely views and a varied range of Par 5's, 4s' 3's. Stunning fairways calved out of the jungle with many old featured Tree's making the course a good and enjoyable challenge whilst focusing to keep your ball in play especially off the Tee, the distance markers were in good condition to judge approach shots, many of the raised Tee boxes provided fantastic views of the fairways & holes in front of you, Tee areas and the fairways were well maintained. The greens are quite small and hard so judging where to land the ball in the aprons to stay on the green also helped to enhance the challenging course. The greens them selves were in very reasonable condition considering the location and climate, mostly the ball rolled true. After the Golf we enjoyed some well earned refreshments around the pool area which had a vibrant vibe, people, friends and families all enjoying the facilities and pool bar. We also had a quick stroll along the Hotels private beach, all in immaculate condition, with lovely views of the ocean. In conclusion, this is a must visit for any avid Golfer who visits the Island. Playing Golf in the Jungle was a unique and highly memorable occasion, supported by a great Couse and first class hospitality from the the Hotel and Golf Staff. I will certainly visit again next time in Malabo, and hopefully stay at the Hotel itself.
