    The Calabar Golf Club is currently witnessing an uptick in its facilities in terms of the rehabilitation of the playing Course ,the clubhouse, and other supporting facilities.

    The club, which hitherto had a recurring problem with trespassers converting the course to a thoroughfare, is being fenced completely to eliminate the problem.
