About us

Golf from the coast to the inland provinces

South African golf moves between exposed coastal fairways, inland layouts and mountain settings. Wind, terrain and season can change the feel of every round.

Coastal conditions

Wind and firm turf can make a seaside course play differently from a sheltered inland layout.

Visitor rounds

Visitor access, green fees and tee times vary by club, day and season. Check the current terms before travelling.

What shapes a round in South Africa

Coastal wind, inland altitude, visitor access and travel time all affect where and when to play. Fees and tee times should be checked with the club.

Different landscapes, different rounds

Cape coastal courses can be shaped by wind and salt air; inland layouts bring different terrain and temperatures. Local competitions add another way to experience the game.

Visitor access depends on the club. Before travelling, check its booking rules, current green fee and dress code.

For a casual round, check the course’s visitor requirements. A competition may require a current Handicap Index or set separate terms for players without one.

Compare location, travel time, visitor access and the current green fee. Check the forecast too, especially for wind at coastal courses.

GolfRSA and provincial unions publish amateur information; the Sunshine Tour publishes professional schedules. Check the organiser’s latest event page for entries, changes and results.
