The Wild Coast Course is part
of another of the magnificent Sun International Resorts and a memorable
golf course situated on the magnificent Wild Coast. World-renowned golf
course architect, Robert Trent Jones, has used the dramatic coastal
setting to maximum effect, designing an interesting and challenging
course with some unforgettable features.
Since it was opened in 1983,
the Wild Coast Sun course has established itself as one of South
Africa's best and is ranked in the top 10 in South Africa. An
extraordinary experience for the golfer because of the incredible
natural beauty of the surroundings.
The Wild Coast Sun Country Club is a rugged beauty of a course. Carts
are compulsory but this does not detract from the experience. The course may be a daunting challenge for professionals and
amateurs alike but its wide fairways and huge greens, attract golfers
of all levels. A first glance at the score card might suggest that this
course is a bit of a push-over - less than 6 000 metres in length with
six par threes. On face value this might seem so but in reality the
Wild Coast Sun Country Club is one of South Africa's most testing
layouts. Indeed renowned American golf course architect, Robert Trent
Jones Jnr has created a dramatic golfing experience overlooking the
Ocean.
Players like Seve Ballesteros, Ian Palmer, Fred Couples, Ian Woosman
and Mark McNulty to name a few have had the thrill of playing here on
the Sunshine Tour and the Skins Tournaments. With its splendid ocean
views, hilly countryside, teeing from cliffs, walking in valleys, its
professional design and manicured greens and fairways places Wild Coast
golf course as one of South Africa's best.
Signature Holes:
The thirteenth, a par 3 played across a waterfall is generally
regarded as one of the best short holes in the country.
And for drama
nothing can match the outstanding par 5, twelfth. Here the drive is hit
from a high elevated tee to a fairway far below that snakes its way
through a valley flanked by a dam and stream on the left with a natural
hillock on the right. The more of the river you take on with your drive
the easier the approach to the green - an excellent example of a risk
and reward par 5.
