George Golf Club

General Course Information

Area and Setting

Situated in the center of George town yet surrounded by mature woodland and mountain views, the course offers a peaceful, authentic Garden Route golf experience. The environment is quiet, uncluttered, and distinctly local — a long-established member’s club atmosphere rather than a luxury resort aesthetic, with meticulously kept fairways and a strong sense of tradition.

Conditioning is outstanding year-round, with smooth greens, tree-lined corridors, and terrain that gently undulates rather than dramatically rises. George is known for rewarding classic golf — strategic positioning, thoughtful club selection, and touch around the greens — creating a satisfying, timeless test suitable for all skill levels.

Layout and Signature Holes

The routing is walkable and thoughtfully sequenced, featuring doglegs shaped naturally by trees and subtle elevation changes that enhance flow rather than overwhelm. The 17th — a par three framed by pines with a tight green entrance — is particularly admired, while the finishing hole returns toward the mountains with a beautifully composed, traditional parkland vista. Precision is favored over aggression throughout.

Best Time of Year for a Round

George enjoys a mild, temperate climate, and the course is consistently playable across all seasons. Spring and autumn are especially pleasant, with still mornings and well-textured greens. Winter rounds are crisp and atmospheric, while summer offers lush fairways and cool sea air drifting inland from the Indian Ocean. Early tee times are rewarded with calm air and mountain-lit fairways.
