This coastal course, not unsurprisingly, has some typical links characteristics coupled with spectacular views from the dune tops. The holes situated in the valley are more parkland in style. Some of the holes are steep and a buggy is recommended.

One of South Africa’s premier courses having hosted the South African Open 14 times. This semi links style course has some narrow fairways, steep slopes, elevated tees, and greens guarded by an array of bunkers and bushes. A challenging course – not designed for learning the game !

Redesigned by Gary Player in 1994 it offers an interesting challenge with its long straight fairways, slopes and bunkers. The front nine are tight whilst the back nine open up and are a bit more forgiving.

Durban Royal Course |

This course is one of the most demanding golf courses in the country. At first glance it looks easy with its flat layout and lack of trees, but there is little protection from wind and that can mean a difficult game. Other hazards include, narrow lush fairways with little run, thick rough and bunkered greens.

Some call it the most spectacular 18 holes in Southern Africa. The course is well manicured and laid out over slightly hilly terrain with fairways lined with natural coastal bush and forest. The greens are large and true but many are well protected by water and bunkers. A ‘must play’ course for all levels of golfers.

An interesting and picturesque course with a tight layout through lush coastal bush and spectacular sea views. Water comes into play on many of the holes. A truly African experience, as there are always monkeys and indigenous birds to be seen.

Rated as one of the top 10 courses in South Africa with water hazards on most holes. This combined with the tight fairways, doglegs, large bunkers and fast greens will make it a highlight on any holiday.

This championship course is set on a dramatic coastline. Although with some wide generous fairways, and 6 par 3’s (2 over gorges), the ravines, dams and even waterfall that come into play make the Wild Coast course a very interesting and challenging experience.
