Western Cape Golf Courses - Oubaai Hotel, Golf and Spa

In designing the Oubaai Golf Club, Ernie Els and his team have taken full advantage of the spectacular landscape of the Western Cape. The layout of Oubaai golf course is a traditional Links where veld grasses line lush fairways.

The 6th is a Par 3 - the green is framed by the Outeniqua Mountains in the distance and the Gwaing River flows below you. A 120 metre drive is required to cross the gorge and reach the fairway.

The 17th is the most photographed hole, where the green meets the ocean. The green is guarded by 4 bunkers with ever changing winds making it one of the most challenging plays.

The Clubhouse has a dramatic location that overlooks the 16th, 17th and 18th greens. Open-air terraces offer panoramic views of the Indian Ocean and the Gwaing River valley, while the executive boardroom is great for quick meetings before an afternoon of golf or spa.

Pezula Championship Golf Course is located in the Western Cape of South Africa in the picturesque town of Knysna - the jewel of the world famous Garden Route.

The breathtaking, award-winning 18-hole golf course offers golfers the ultimate golf course in Knysna, an unsurpassed golf experience, and one of the most scenic golf courses in the world.

The Pezula Golf Club offers Clubhouse facilities that are in keeping with the overall five-star experience, and includes a terrace with spectacular views, restaurant, bar, golf shop, short game practice area and putting green.

“The best Golf Course on the planet” Darren Clarke

PINNACLE POINT golf course is something truly unique for the discerning golfer. Pinnacle Point was selected as one of the Top Ten New Golf Courses of the World for 2006 by the American publication Travel and Leisure in January 2007.

This cliff top challenging layout commands a level of respect due to its dramatic views and breathtaking terrain. The 72 par layout is characterised by 7 majestic holes that line the Indian Ocean rock cliffs, 4 of which are played over ocean and cliff.

The reintroduction of the endemic fauna and flora to this estate has been hailed as a remarkable achievement by local and international ecologists and the preservation of this pristine Fynbos is an ongoing commitment by the Pinnacle Point Beach and Golf Resort.

The magnificence of the landscape at Simola inspired golfing legend Jack Nicklaus to design a masterpiece amidst the rolling hills at Kysna, South Africa.

Forest, mountain and river are seen from an undulating valley and the panorama expands to uninterrupted overviews of the Knysna Lagoon and the famous Knysna Heads leading to the Ocean.

The golfer will be distracted by this awesome beauty, but there is much to concentrate on as Nicklaus has maximised the use of the hilly terrain to create an undulating, meandering golf challenge regarded as one of the most favoured among the abundant golf visitors to this area.

The first seven valley holes have those magnificent views of the Knysna River, while the 11 holes on the opposing side of the ridge have a sense of space due to the uninterrupted panorama of the surrounding area, which includes the Knysna Heads, lagoon and mountains.

Immaculate Kikuyu fairways are punctuated with excellent Bent Grass, many of which are smaller than expected of a modern course, but which are strategically designed to challenge the golfer to choose the right approach to them to maximise scoring chances.

Carts are compulsory and are included in the green fee.
