Simola Golf Estate, Knysna, Garden Route / Keeping your head down at Simola can be a challenge; simply because the views around the course are awe-enspiring, and with this, it is clear to see why Simola takes its place as one of South Africa's premier golfing destinations. It's also the first Jack Nicklaus Signature course on the Garden Route, reflecting the maestro's philosophy of attuning the layout and design to the natural lie of the land.
THE COURSE
The Simola course offers challenging and rewarding golf amidst spectacular scenery. Set below the high ridges, it’s free from the wind that so often plagues coastal courses. Fairways flow with the natural undulating contours of the terrain and the unusual configuration of five par 5's and five par 3's adds a new dimension to the game. It's par for the course that every hole boasts exceptional views; either out across the Knysna Lagoon all the way to the Heads or over the picturesque Knysna River as it twists and turns through the valley below.
CLUB FACILITIES
The Simola Golf Clubhouse offers spacious changing rooms, and the beautifully appointed lounge will comfort the needs of all golfers. The Proshop offers state-of-the-art golfing equipment, stylish apparel and a whole host of items.
