A gem among the golf courses in SA!
Reviewed October 5, 2019
I (Hcp 10) have played the course 2x, with caddy and cart (both are recommended): Excellent! The caddy on the bag pushes the score down a few strokes.
The comparison with Augusta is not that farfetched. If you keep the ball in the game a very good score is possible. The greens are tricky but the caddy knew how to read them. We stayed at the Selborne Hotel and had the hotel green fee: Cart, GF, rental clubs, drinks around 50 €.

Golf in the jungle
Reviewed January 15, 2017
Played on 12/05/2016, HCP 12
Scenic simply great class! Trees far as the eye, one has partly the impression surrounded by dense jungle to play.
Also playing technique very interesting - repeatedly elevated tees, many beautiful water hazards, particularly the Par3s are quite tricky. The greens are mostly undulating only moderately, also not very fast - sometimes unfortunately directly by the flag not quite true in the area.
Bunker are rare in the game - fortunately, because sometimes they contain very little abrasive, so they are not easy to play.
Generally, the care condition is (now and bald spots on the fairways) not perfect, but perfectly acceptable.
On the back nine of the jungle is not so dense, the tracks run a little more open and are not quite as interesting. Every now and then even a little unfair because trajectory and obstacles ahead of the beat are not clear and even any hanging fairways roll into the semi-rough center played balls. This is very good playable, it is just only the forest into play when the fairways are missed too far.
A cart is advisable to not so sports-minded players due to the sometimes quite long way from the green to the next tee.
Conclusion: Especially for the scenery a very great parkland course, like to play again and again - full 4 stars! (In "Golf Ranking Bear": 8 out of 10 points).

Excellent
Reviewed March 20, 2016
Interestingly and challenging course. E-Cart necessarily recommended, even then there are some routes to cover on foot back, strong and down.
Catering and bar ok, but why not look for it on those Club. Very nice people in the pro shop who left me one of their ClickGear trolleys. I've played quite late in the afternoon with light rain without Caddy - that's a challenge, because the tracks are drawn either on the scorecard still on the tees.
I was out on a limb, but it often came by to see if everything is in order - perhaps something to do with the 12th tee shot Austrian goalkeeper in of 2009.
Conclusion: anytime again!

Interestingly, kept golf course, also the care was OK. A trip from the Wild Coast worthwhile. The hotel was already a bit old, but OK for 1-2 nights! Selborne can also be good with Umdoni Park, link the two sites are located practically next door to each other.

Exceptional design
Reviewed December 1, 2014
A really cool golf course. Very entertaining, and with many playful design elements which are a real feast for the eyes.
Unfortunately, during my visit were the greens and many discounts not in the state as it is the rest of the site!
That is why only 4 stars deserves all 5 cases!
Be sure to play when you are in the neighborhood!
