Great links course!
Reviewed January 27, 2023
This place was a lot of fun, but it was also a challenge.
Discounts: large and well-kept Fairways: a wide variety of fairways, some with long discounts to reach them. Everything very well maintained. Landing zones partially tight. Jungle all around, so better keep the ball on the track!
Bunker: Fairway bunker tip top. Sometimes deep pot bunkers... backwards back onto the fairway was sometimes the better direction.
At some holes there are a lot of green bunkers, so pump and roll is not possible. Actually unusual for links.
Greens: large and medium-fast. Not a lot of breaks but exciting.
The facility is very spacious. No fairway next to another. Lots of bushes and dunes around. Great buildings are present but not disturbing.
Clubhouse super nice and big. Very nice staff.
So all around a great place and highly recommended!

As in the botanical garden
Reviewed February 14, 2019
Very good organization via e-mail everything easily booked.
Wonderful Nicklaus square embedded in the finbosch.
Many signs point to healing medicinal and cosmetic plants.
Very varied tracks (especially 9-18) With great sea views, or views of the sand dune.
Fairways and greens were in good condition considering the surface (sand and sunshine).
Discounts get only a satisfactory.
Greens were very fast.
Paths and signage were very good.
We liked it a lot, like to come back.

Great experience
Reviewed November 17, 2018
I have the place in the South African Spring on 5.11. played. The beautiful heathland, in which the square is embedded, was in bloom.
The night before I stayed at the resort at the St. Francis Golf Lodge. A modern, luxurious room and great breakfasts have sparked anticipation for the round on this exceptional course. 2 short rain showers I have sat in the cart. Using a cart was therefore a good tip.
The course is a challenge, well maintained fairways and very good, fast greens reward but also good game. Overall, a day of golf was worth it.
Very good value for money, as a lodge guest I paid for 18 holes (620 Rand) + Cart (320 Rand) = 57 €.

Almost 4 stars
Reviewed February 23, 2018
If the AHA moment this linkscourse offers is over, it will not look so good with a higher rating. It is already an adventure to move through the bush landscape. This should be done because of the long distances between the holes with a car. Directional piles with partly secluded landing zones. Played on 17.2.18 for 725 Rand. The greens were littered with ball slaps. The bunker (border areas) extremely rustic, of care really no trace.

Always a challenge
Reviewed February 22, 2018
Also in the year 2018 on the 14th of february Ash Wednesday, the attempt to finally manage the place finally has proved to be overbearing. Although limited wind and only 2 balls sacrificed, the pitfalls are unchanged.
The greens are "sauschnell", difficult to read and the flag positions sometimes "Pro - suspicious". But it's always fun, and after the round you are comforted by the "entertainer" Jeff Klauss.
Anyone leaving the St. Francis left has missed something.

Played on 26.01.2018! Top condition! Very friendly welcome! Price with about 50 € unbeatable, at the locker name was noted with Teetimes! Clubhouse and sanitary facilities in great condition! Course challenging and if there is still wind, a bigger challenge! Every time I would play the course again

Top Links Course
Reviewed April 15, 2017
Always a challenge. Have the place now played since 2014 every year 2x in the sun, wind and rain! Typical Jack Nicklaus designs.
Very friendly pro shop staff. If too much wind they recommend to play. Once even a free green fee received as a sudden change in the weather (high winds) made the game nearly impossible. Cart is highly recommended because substantial distances to cope incl. Height differences between the discounts that.
Green fee / performance ratio.

Terrific place...
Reviewed January 24, 2017
... At times quite relaxed get rid of all balls in the bag. The whole on top neat and varied tracks. Here are real professionals at work, from the design and Greenkeeper to Pro Shop. Would it not become dark, we had the same again played 18 holes - worth every penny for the green fee, and the balls :)

Great Place with hard greens and very tight
Reviewed November 24, 2015
Beautiful, picturesque place. In wind very difficult to play, as many fairways (front nine) are limited very tight and dense shrubbery. The balls disappear, "never to return", so you need enough of them. The greens were too hard, often the balls were untraceable despite Green hit since they were rolled down again. One very often aimed at the direction of rods because some tracks are secluded from the tee of what the game more difficult, one should make use of the Birdie Maker use. Part hard to gambling bunker as high edge and often the ball is in an oblique Läge downhill. Beautiful view on St. Francis Bay and the houses of the resort. Good walking with a trolley (Leihtrolley very good, 3 wheels) to cope.

Nice - but very challenging
Reviewed January 31, 2015
Played the end of January 2015. According to its own is the place in the top 10 in South Africa.
The condition is excellent, as is the infrastructure. In general, the course is a great challenge. The front 9 are practically all with narrow fairways lined with bush plantings. The Back 9 have something more fairways. To make the frequently changing, often strong wind comes to that.
You can take a cart and enough balls in the bag..
