General Course Information
Area and Setting
Southbroom lies directly along the warm Indian Ocean coast — elegant and residential rather than resort-styled, surrounded by palm trees, coastal forest and soft sea breeze. Several holes run dramatically alongside the water, with uninterrupted horizon views — particularly memorable at sunrise or late afternoon when the light is golden and the tide is high.
It attracts a sophisticated international following who appreciate understated prestige, heritage atmosphere and classic coastal rhythm. The experience is elevated, yet warmly South African — relaxed, natural and effortlessly scenic.
Layout and Signature Holes
The routing is compact, beautifully walkable and shaped by natural coastline movement — blending parkland definition with links-style exposure to the ocean wind. The par-3 4th hole, played across a rocky inlet straight toward the sea, is one of South Africa’s most photographed short holes. Precision, trajectory control and respect for the breeze are rewarded throughout the round.
Best Time of Year for a Round
The South Coast is subtropical and warm year-round. Winter (May–September) offers perfect golf conditions — 22°C average daytime, low humidity and softer trade winds. Summer remains lush and vibrant, ideal for morning tee times paired with afternoon coastal leisure or beach walks.
