The course is extremely demanding and requires you to play well in order to score well. The renowned par 5 third hole has a truly magnificent aura, following a narrow and undulating valley to a challenging target.

The elevated tees and steep slopes combine with the strong onshore winds blowing through the valley to make it a course that is often enjoyed but seldom mastered.

Carved out of the wild African bush, the course covers over 100 hectares of land of which the exciting water features take up 28000 square metres. There are undulating bay view grass fairways and large bent grass greens. What makes this course especially dramatic is the presence of 20 live Nile crocodiles in a water hazard at the 13th hole!

Stunning views are guaranteed at just about every hole, making your golf holiday in South Africa not only satisfying as a challenge but also a visual delight.
