Pezula Championship Golf Club

Pezula, built on rugged cliffside land overlooking the Indian Ocean, boasts some of South Africa’s most photographed holes. The front nine of this estate course has views over Knysna Lagoon, while the back nine holes tumble downhill to the brink of the high cliffs. The course’s attraction lies in the originality of many of its holes, and exhilarating elevation changes. The routing by American designers Ronald Fream and David Dale (2000) was inspirational. Given such undulating and inaccessible terrain on an environmentally sensitive property, there are only three holes where you play uphill. Five tee options means Pezula caters to a broad range of golfers. Even for fit and strong walkers, the course is best enjoyed in the comfort of a cart, particularly in terms of pace of play. There’s also a luxury hotel adjoining the clubhouse, making this an idyllic destination.
