Smokin Hill Golf Course is one of the newest most adorable addition to the African beauty that we keep talking about. The perfect mélange of beautiful African nature and the exotic presentation of sporting recreation gave birth to this international acclaimed location for golfers from all over the world. The 18-hole Golf Course is set to become one of the world’s most sort after golf courses because of its serenity and presence in the heart of a true African community; Ilara Mokin which is less than 20 minutes from Akure, the capital of Ondo State.

Smokin Hill Golf Resort is owned by Chief Michael Ade Ojo, the Chairman of Toyota Nigeria Limited who also is the Founder of Elizade University; a private tertiary institution which is fast becoming one of the best in Nigeria. The layout of this great golf course would take your breath away in view of its sheer aesthetics and beautiful atmospheric condition coupled with the beautiful chirping of birds and nature itself. This golf course is set up in pristine African forest and extends into the cascading hills around its host community which, on its own, is a great plus.

The course has been built to championship standard with state of the art features and facilities, including a driving range and short game practice area. Constructed by American company; Total Golf Construction which has carried out similar golf designs in USA and the Caribbean, Smokin Hill Golf Course is clearly one good choice for tourists coming to Nigeria with plans of golfing. The course is a brilliant addition to the list of existing courses with world class attributes in Nigeria which includes the IBB International Golf and Country Club, Abuja as well as Le Meridien Ibom Golf Resort, Uyo.

The fact that it rolls through the hills means golfers over the 70 years mark, including General Yakubu Gowon, Chief Omowale Kuye, King Alfred Diete-Spiff, Dr Tim Menakaya, Brig Gen. Mobolaji Johnson and Gen. IBM Haruna, among others would likely struggle to complete the two nines without being aided by golf carts. A network of cart paths is built on the entire course in consideration of the effect of the topography on this category of golfers and the trend all over the world is that most courses frequented by tourists now bear the cart path in order to protect the fairways from the stress effect of human traffic. This golf course stands out as one of the very few courses in Nigeria to create special route for buggies and the owner is understood to have ordered for over 300 of such carts some of them already in use.

“Certainly this is the most ambitious golf facility in Nigeria and West Africa in modern times. Smoking Hills is a golfers’ delight – every hole requires deft play and the course is a physical challenge. I salute Chief Ade-Ojo whose personal resources gave birth to this wonderful course. It’s still evolving but in another 3 years will certainly be one of the must-play courses in Africa. Foooorrre!” – Sola Lawson
