2. The Royal Port Alfred Golf Club
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 38 reviews
The Royal Port Alfred Golf Course is one of the oldest and best known in South Africa and was established in 1907.The undulating course snakes its way through thickets of pristine coastal forest and over hilly dunes always with the smell and sounds of the Indian Ocean close by whose blue waters offer the most panoramic views from many of the fairways. In true links tradition every slope, mound and dip remains untouched, demanding creative shot making and deft reading of angles.Adding to the allure and charm of the course is its resident wild life. Normally shy bushbuck will continue grazing contently as you walk by while springbok and impala pronk with delight. The blesbok, fallow deer duiker and giant tortoise peer at the golfers with suspicion and there is bird life in abundance.Visitors are always most welcome.

Great facility, excellent and challenging course. Beautiful view of the ocean on various tee boxes, if a windy day the course becomes more challenging

The best way to explore the Kowie River with through stand Up Paddleboarding from KowieBunga Adventures! I easily made a booking for 3 hours renting of SUP Boards. Juan from KowieBunga delivered and collected them with a smile and gave great advice on the best spots to explore such as Kid's beach. Located in a quaint corner of the Kowie river, as linked to the canals, Kiddies Beach is a sheltered corner that enabled us to practice in the shallow waters of the river, before rounding the corner and paddling out onto the no-wake-zone canal. A must-do activity when visiting Port Alfred. Prompt replies and expert service from the Kowie Bunga team!
