Knysna Golf Course, Knysna, Garden Route, South Africa: Howard Street, Knysna. This course is probably the only golf course in South Africa which can boast holes that are below sea level. The Knysna Golf Club is situated on the eastern shores of the tranquil Knysna estuary one of the most beautiful regions of South Africa. Nestled on the shores of the Knysna Lagoon, the golf course meanders along tidal pools and magnificent indigenous trees. An interesting parkview style layout which has been enhanced over the past few years, offers some of the finest bent grass greens in the Southern Cape.

The Course: The 18 hole course emphasises accuracy rather than length. The level terrain makes the course appear deceptively easy but the layout provides a challenge to golfers of all standards. A unique feature of the course is that sea water is in play on 10 of the 18 holes. There is an abundance of bird life - both sea and fresh water birds, raptors and forest birds.

Signature Hole: The par-five ninth hole is the most formidable at Knysna. Although it only measures 435 metres, it channels through a wetland and golfers have to be wary of the reeds that flank both sides of the fairway. The chances are good that the golfer will see the richly coloured Knysna Loerie, undoubtedly one of South Africa's most beautiful birds. The pleasant temperate climate offers you golf throughout the year. Visitors are most welcome.

Did you know?
When the course floods (which it does from time to time) it is possible to canoe down the fairway on the 465-metre par-five 4th hole. It is situated close to the famous and very beautiful Knysna Heads, as well as the Knysna Lagoon.
