Prah River Golf Links

Prah River Golf Links is a private golf course at Shama in the Shama District of Ghana's Western Region. It was unveiled on Friday 6 November 2009 as a wholly owned private course, and it forms part of a wider Shama Beach Resort Limited development described as a modern recreational and tourist facility. The course is listed as a nine-hole layout.

The surrounding development is intended to include a hostel, a swimming pool, a sauna, squash tennis and other family amenities, which places the golf course within a broader recreation and leisure complex rather than as a standalone sporting venue. The owners are Professor G.W.K. Instiful, a past president of the Ghana Golf Association, and his wife Araba.

The unveiling in 2009 was attended by government officials and traditional rulers and was marked by a two-day invitational tournament that drew more than 100 male and lady golfers from across the country. The operator describes the course as a lush nine-hole layout at Shama with strong winds and meandering water bodies, offering what it calls a challenging and enjoyable game.

Golf at the site has continued beyond that opening event. A 2024 news report documents the Captain One Golf Society and Pra River Golf Links outdooring the Shama Kids Project, a junior golf development programme, indicating that the course hosts organised play and youth development activity.

For visitors, the practical picture is limited. The course is private and wholly owned, so access should be assumed to depend on the operator's arrangements rather than on open public play; no green fees, opening hours, booking procedures or visitor policies are documented in the available sources. The site is associated with Beach Road, Shama, and a probable coordinate match places it at approximately 4.9953° N, 1.6353° W, but this location match is classified as probable rather than confirmed, and no verified coordinates were available from the institutional source. Travellers should treat the address and access details as needing confirmation with the operator before planning a visit.
