Steve Ritson was appointed as golf course architect to design a new 18-hole, par 72, championship standard golf course of over 7,000 yards for Le Meridien Ibom Hotel Golf Resort near Uyo in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria.
The Golf Course was opened in March 2007 by Colin Montgomerie, Retief Goosen and Nancy Lopez and is now a premier location for top golf professional tournaments in Nigeria. The golf course is the jewel in the crown of the new 5 star Le Meridien Ibom Hotel, which is situated on a hilltop ridge, with spectacular views over the surrounding rain forest stretching to the mountains of Cameroon.
The course was the first major golf development in Nigeria over the last 20 years and in 2012 was recognized in Golf Weeks magazine’s Best Resort Course, the first in Africa and it continues to host top pro tournament events.
