East London Golf Course

Share

Course Description:

East London Golf Club is one of the oldest golf clubs in South Africa, founded in 1893. Over the past 125 years the position of the course has changed three times. The common feature of all three courses was great views over the sea.The current layout is a coastal gem, which encompasses hills, dunes and indigenous bush. Constructed in the 1920s, the builders were forced to caress the land, rather than move thousands of tons of earth, which was fortunate for East London Golf Club. Today its relatively undisturbed terrain is its most pleasing feature.

The course has a combination of both links and parkland features and is home to several species of buck and birdlife.Views from the 12th green overlook the nearby harbour, seaside hotels and city.  Course designer Col SV Hotchin’s original drawings are still on display in the clubhouse.
