Avlekete Golf: Tee Off in Benin’s Coastal Paradise
Golf Meets Culture

Yet along the country’s stunning coastline lies Avlekete Golf, a destination that combines sport, leisure, and cultural immersion in ways few courses in West Africa can match. Part of Hyperlocal Benin’s Hyperlocal Golf Collection, Avlekete offers more than a game; it’s a full experience of coastal landscapes, vibrant local culture, and warm hospitality.
The course is framed by palm trees, coastal breezes, and views of the Atlantic, providing golfers with a sense of serenity that’s rare in today’s fast-paced world. Whether you’re teeing off early in the morning or enjoying sunset rounds, every moment at Avlekete feels unforgettable.
Benin’s first 18-holes course
Imagine teeing off amid sacred Vodun groves, with Atlantic breezes whispering through marshlands and lagoon views unfolding like a dream. Benin’s first 18-hole championship course, Ouidah Golf Club—rebranded from Avlékété—delivers exactly that on its 45-hectare coastal canvas, just 25km west of Cotonou. Masterminded by globetrotting architect Jeremy Pern (30+ courses under his belt), this par-72 beast stretches to 7,100 yards, blending four par-3s, four par-5s, and ten par-4s around protected wetlands and ancient trees. Gregori International’s eco-conscious build—complete with clubhouse, pro shop, and boat dock—wrapped after 24 months, employing 250 locals, with lush greens now ready for late 2025 play.
