The top 15 professional golfers in the country have been invited to be part of the launch on Friday, April 5th, 2024.

The Acropolis Resort is gearing up to launch a brand new golf facility on Saturday, April 6th, 2024.

According to the Acting Resort Manager, Obioma Ogakwu, this addition is poised to be a game-changer for golf development in the South Eastern region of Nigeria.

New golf facility to spark enthusiasm in South East - Ogakwu

Ogakwu expressed delight at the significant interest the project has already generated among golfers in the South East.

She went a step further, highlighting that the initiative has sparked a surge in enthusiasm for the sport within the region.

This suggests that the Acropolis Resort's golf facility has the potential to become a major hub for golfers in the area, fostering a thriving golf community.

“While we have always known that apart from the Enugu, Ebonyi, and Aba Golf Club as the major golf facility, the Acropolis golf project commissioning will increase the option that golfers in the regions have to recreate,” she said.

She continued, “We plan to exert ourselves beyond the recreational value inherent in this. We plan for Acropolis to be a major hub for the game and also form a critical developmental centre for the golfing talents in the South East.”

Ogakwu emphasized the golf course's design allows for future modifications to transform it into a championship course. This adaptability is why they're collaborating with the Professional Golfers Association of Nigeria.

Mike Ubi, a consulting professional golfer on the project, confirmed the existing nine-hole layout, boasting a par 36, is already a fantastic facility that golfers will love revisiting.

“I think the launch of Acropolis Golf Course on Saturday, April 6th, will open offers to a new experience. I have been involved with the recent phase of this project and made brilliant tweaks that make playing here very interesting," he said.

"I am also aware of plans, which we have made provision for, and I can say Acropolis will be a major factor for golf development here.”
