Knysna Golf Course is probably the only golf course in South Africa which can boast holes that are below sea level. When the course floods, which it does from time to time in winter, it is possible to canoe down the fairway on the 465-metre par-five 4th hole. It is situated close to the famous and very beautiful Knysna Heads, as well as the Knysna Lagoon. It is easy to walk and a fun course to play but not championship standard.
The Knysna Golf Club is situated on the eastern shores of the tranquil Knysna estuary one of the most beautiful regions of the Garden Route. Set beside the shores of the Knysna Lagoon, the golf course meanders along tidal pools and magnificent indigenous trees. An interesting parklands style layout which has been enhanced over the past few years, offers excellent bent grass greens.
