The Rossmund Golf Course, opened in 1980, is located in the middle of the Namib Desert. The fairways are green throughout, which requires, due to the minimal rainfalls in Swakopmund, permanent irrigation. The water comes from the ablution of Swakopmund and has passed through a purification plant. Often one can see springbok and various birds, at times even Oryx antelopes. Rossmund is a golf course of the masterclass. It was designed by Gary Player.
