Wild Coast Sun Golf Course

General Course Information

Area and Setting

Perched above the wild shoreline of the Indian Ocean, the course winds through ridges, ravines, coastal forest and sweeping ocean vistas. Many holes offer dramatic views and bold terrain transitions, delivering a distinctive South African coastal feel rather than a standard resort plateau.

The mood is both adventurous and refined — perfect for travellers who appreciate an elevated golf experience with dramatic scenery and service, rather than sheer volume of facilities. The setting marries natural drama with comfort, making it ideal as a standout anchor in a luxury coastal itinerary.

Layout and Signature Holes

The routing features six par-3s, sweeping fairways above the ocean and two unforgettable holes: the elevated par-5 12th played across a cliff edge and the closing par-4 18th with the ocean backdrop. Strategic shot-making, ocean wind influence, and visual drama define this layout.

Best Time of Year for a Round

The coastal subtropical climate means warm play year-round. The dry season (May–September) offers clearer skies and firmer surfaces; the wetter months (October–March) bring lush corridors and strong afternoon winds — early tee times are advisable.
