General Course Information
Area and Setting
The estate sits directly above a wild, wave-driven stretch of the Dolphin Coast — quiet, uncommercial, and framed by rolling coastal vegetation instead of urban development. Unlike Zimbali’s polished resort energy, Prince’s Grant feels more elemental and nature-led, appealing to golfers who appreciate authenticity and uninterrupted ocean atmosphere.
The course is beautifully maintained, yet intentionally sympathetic to the coastal landscape — fynbos rough, dune contours, and uninterrupted sea views from elevated tees that echo traditional links spirit more than manicured resort golf. It feels peaceful and uncrowded, more like a private sanctuary than a showpiece luxury destination.
Layout and Signature Holes
Routed across natural dune ridges with frequent elevation shifts and angled wind corridors, the layout demands creativity in both trajectory and landing strategy. The par-three 6th — suspended above the ocean with a crosswind carry and open horizon backdrop — is among the purest coastal tee shots in South Africa. The closing stretch climbs gradually back inland, offering a composed finish after a dramatic middle section.
Best Time of Year for a Round
The North Coast enjoys warm, subtropical conditions year-round. Winter (May–August) is dryer with calmer air and clear ocean horizons — ideal for visiting travelers. Summer (November–March) brings lush surfaces and humid coastal energy best enjoyed with early morning or late afternoon tee times.

Private Coastal Walks at Dawn
A peaceful start to the day — empty beaches, sunrise light across the ocean, and local birdlife active along the tidal forests and dune edges.
North Coast Dolphin & Whale Watching (Seasonal)
The Dolphin Coast earns its name — dolphins are frequent, with migratory humpback whales visible offshore from June to November.
Slow Lunch Overlooking the Indian Ocean
