St Francis links named best-golf course in South Africa
Jeff Clause, CEO of St Francis Links said the golf course, which has hosted multiple international events and was the home of the South African PGA Championship, was voted best new course in South Africa in 2007, by Golf Digest South Africa, just one year after it was established.
Furthermore, between 2008 and 2018, the golf course was consistently in the top 10 ranking in the SA Top 100 and in 2020 was rated number five.
Clause said the uniqueness of the golf course was that both the course, as well as the residential community which were located in the dunes above St Francis Bay, were in balance with nature.
“The course is laid out in the dune system with no two holes alike,” said Clause.
“In addition, the estate offered hiking and cycling trails, sunset spots, a completely equipped gym and leisure centre with a 20m pool.”
Clause said apart from their club members who regularly made use of the golf course, visitors were welcome to play the course on a space-available basis while the clubhouse was open for breakfast and lunch.
He said the golf course has received bookings from people from all over the world.
Clause said the recent PGA Championship, which was televised on SuperSport, was a great advertisement for St Francis Links, St Francis Bay, and the Eastern Cape.

Clause said the recent PGA Championship, which was televised on SuperSport, was a great advertisement for St Francis Links, St Francis Bay, and the Eastern Cape.
“The golf course has hosted tournaments at different levels of competitive play, from amateur championships to professional championships, for juniors, women, and senior players,” said Clause.
After 15 years of quality service, in October, St Francis Links was nominated along with more than 20 top golf courses from South Africa by the World Golf Awards and following a voting process, the golf course won South Africa’s Best Golf Course 2021 award at a ceremony in Dubai.
“We were ecstatic when we won the award,” said Clause.
“Our reputation as a top course and destination is growing steadily.”
Clause said they hoped to continue to grow their community by offering secured living, a solid financial base and great lifestyle choices, with quality amenities and services.
