Royal Port Alfred Golf Club

This one of the nicest country courses in SouthAfrica. It is true links golf course and has an abundance of wild life e.g. springbok, impala, bush buck etc. It is one of those courses where you remember most of the holes because they are so special and unique. If you play it on a wind-free day you are going to have a great score. However, the east and west winds make it a challenging course. I absolutely love playing the course and you will too.

One of my all time favourite places. Played only 9 holes three years ago so I was pleased to complete the course. Had 42 with my solitary adjustable club. One of the caddies remembered me from last time which was nice. Would love to return.

The restaurant at the club is our favorite breakfast spot.Super staff & service, great food at good prices

Lovely, wide open course with stunning sea views and tricky rough! Lots of ups and downs and scenic holes. Keep your ball on the fairway - the rough isn't high, but the balls disappear in the fluffy grass! Very friendly and accommodating staff in pro shop as well as bar and restaurant. We were welcome and treated like old friends. If you use one of the two hotel partners, there is a discounted green fee. We stayed at Cumberlandland House and were very happy - a lovely bright home just minutes away from the course. Bram and his wife took very good care of us! We'll be back and look forward to another wonderful experience!

Once again enjoyed breakfast at the Golf Club. Although it was quite busy with golfers preparing for a competition, service was excellent. Had pancake stack with bacon and syrup. Wow

I really like this golf course. It is fairly difficult with lots of bush and if the wind is blowing it is extremely challenging.

2017.12.26. Time didn't allow for 18 holes, so I played the 13 holes which takes you to the Clubhouse with halfway at the end of the 8th. While waiting for my T-off on the first a couple, Mark and Sheila, long standing members of the club, invited me to join them. This made for a more interesting game both in terms of direction of play,in particular some blind rises, and catching up on local news. The Clubhouse has magnificent views over the 1st, 18th and 12-13th holes with distant sea views. Sea views on the first 9 were stunning on the sunny day with light breeze we played in. Mark reminded me of how different, and difficult, it could be in windier conditions. It would not be unusual to see a large tortoise on the course. Sheila tells of locals who drop off found tortoises so the course is a natural sanctuary. They also have a number buck, I saw Blesbok and Springbok on the course. The latter, with rare breed, has been a financial boon for the Club. The 7th, par5, with its undulating hills, reminded me of the Durban Country Club and Humewood. On the first few holes the characteristic allow markers came into play as Sheila was allowed a free drop. The stone cut T-box distance markers, were a recent addition and are certainly unique.The 12th is the signature hole and one can see why, with its high T-box and magnificent views back to the Clubhouse. All the greens played true and in good condition. I last played here in 2003, so was glad to be back and refresh memories of a clean and well kept course. Hats off to the Greens Committee, and others before them, for contributing to what we can now enjoy.

Beautiful course. It's old in the good way and has been kept well, but expect shorter holes since it's from back when woods were actually made from trees. Recommended!

Beautiful layout, views of the Indian Ocean from almost all tees, clubhouse and bar airconditon. Remember to take water or a soft drink with you on the course.

The course is in gr8 condition, playing very well. 10 out of 10 to the green keeper. A huge pity that the halfway house is not open on a Saturday.
