Our Mission
The Nchanga Golf Academy was founded in 2008 by the club in partnership with Konkola Copper Mines (KCM) with a single mission: to make golf accessible to the youth of the Copperbelt and develop Zambia's next generation of champions.
As the premier junior golf development programme in northern Zambia, the Academy provides a structured pathway from beginner level through to elite competition. Our PGA-qualified coaching staff delivers programmes that balance technical skill development with course management, physical fitness, and mental preparation.
We believe golf teaches character — discipline, integrity, patience, and resilience — and we embed these values in every session. The Academy serves as a vital community hub, offering young people from Chingola and surrounding areas a positive, structured environment to grow both as golfers and as individuals.
Many of our graduates have gone on to represent Zambia at national level, earned golf scholarships, and pursued professional careers in the sport.
