Formed in 1994, Eastern Cape lies on the south coast of South Africa and it shares internal boundaries with four other provinces as well as a border with three districts in the land locked country and enclave of Lesotho. The conurbations around the coastal cities of Port Elizabeth and East London are where many of the seven million people in the province have gravitated to and these busy ports play a central part in the region’s economy.

Amateur golf in Eastern Cape is administered by the Eastern Province Golf Union (with 7,000 members in 26 clubs) and Border Golf Union (which has around 3,000 members in 23 clubs). The Eastern Cape Women’s Golf Association looks after female golfers, and this governing body oversees the golfing affairs of members in 26 affiliated clubs.

Humewood is said to be the only true links layout in the whole country and it dates back to the late 1920s when SV Hotchkin set out the course whilst on a visit from England. He also, during the same trip, had a hand in the design of the East London course on a site that the club had moved to in 1923. Of more recent vintage, Robert Trent Jones Jnr’s Wild Coast course near Port Edward and the Jack Nicklaus St Francis Links layout hold lofty positions in the national ranking charts.

Formed in 1994, Eastern Cape lies on the south coast of South Africa and it shares internal boundaries with four other provinces as well as a border with three districts in the land locked country and enclave of Lesotho. The conurbations around the coastal cities of Port Elizabeth and East London are where many of the seven million people in the province have gravitated to and these busy ports play a central part in the region’s economy.

Amateur golf in Eastern Cape is administered by the Eastern Province Golf Union (with 7,000 members in 26 clubs) and Border Golf Union (which has around 3,000 members in 23 clubs). The Eastern Cape Women’s Golf Association looks after female golfers, and this governing body oversees the golfing affairs of members in 26 affiliated clubs.

Humewood is said to be the only true links layout in the whole country and it dates back to the late 1920s when SV Hotchkin set out the course whilst on a visit from England. He also, during the same trip, had a hand in the design of the East London course on a site that the club had moved to in 1923. Of more recent vintage, Robert Trent Jones Jnr’s Wild Coast course near Port Edward and the Jack Nicklaus St Francis Links layout hold lofty positions in the national ranking charts.

Formed in 1994, Eastern Cape lies on the south coast of South Africa and it shares internal boundaries with four other provinces as well as a border with three districts in the land locked country and enclave of Lesotho. The conurbations around the coastal cities of Port Elizabeth and East London are where many of the seven million people in the province have gravitated to and these busy ports play a central part in the region’s economy.

Amateur golf in Eastern Cape is administered by the Eastern Province Golf Union (with 7,000 members in 26 clubs) and Border Golf Union (which has around 3,000 members in 23 clubs). The Eastern Cape Women’s Golf Association looks after female golfers, and this governing body oversees the golfing affairs of members in 26 affiliated clubs.

Humewood is said to be the only true links layout in the whole country and it dates back to the late 1920s when SV Hotchkin set out the course whilst on a visit from England. He also, during the same trip, had a hand in the design of the East London course on a site that the club had moved to in 1923. Of more recent vintage, Robert Trent Jones Jnr’s Wild Coast course near Port Edward and the Jack Nicklaus St Francis Links layout hold lofty positions in the national ranking charts.

The term “Rainbow Nation” was coined by Archbishop Desmond Tutu to describe post-1994 South Africa when apartheid rule officially ended. We’re now two decades on from the troubles and it’s brilliant to see this remarkable country blossom year on year. Long may it continue.

According to the South African Golf Association, there are more than 450 affiliated golf clubs serving more than 125,000 golfers. Surprisingly, the growth in the number of courses has remained relatively static over the last few years. Most new courses tend to be of the residential type and the recent majority have been built in the Western Cape.

In 2012, we extended our South African golf course rankings to a Top 100. To read our latest 2018 news release detailing the Top 100 Golf Courses of South Africa, simply click the preceding link or scroll down to see the current list.

If you like things wild, then you’ll love Botswana. The roads are dusty (if you can find them) and it’s a wilderness of Kalahari Desert, salt pans and wetlands where the wild Okavango River delta is home to some of the Africa’s most stunning wildlife. Botswana is one of the world's richest sources of diamonds and there are a number of golf clubs in Botswana where the lack of grass is the biggest problem. The greens, or should we say browns are rolled and brushed and Bob’s your uncle.

But things are changing. Botswana is rapidly becoming a hot golfing destination and that’s not just due to the climate. There are approximately a dozen courses here and the best is located close to Botswana's capital city, Gaborone. Phakalane Golf Resort is an imaginative 18-hole championship course and it’s actually rather good.

Leading designers such as Greg Norman (Allegria), Nick Faldo with Schmidt Curley Design (Katameya Dunes) and Gary Player (Cascades at Soma Bay) have unveiled layouts here in Egypt but the most prolific architect in modern times is undoubtedly American John Sanford.

So get your bags packed and don't forget your clubs.

There are now more than twenty golf courses in Egypt with the majority constructed since the late 1990s. However, golf in Egypt dates back to WW1 when the British Forces, stationed in Cairo, introduced the game at the Gezira Sporting Club and later in the 1920s the game was played at the Alexandria Sporting Club.

Leading designers such as Greg Norman (Allegria), Nick Faldo with Schmidt Curley Design (Katameya Dunes) and Gary Player (Cascades at Soma Bay) have unveiled layouts here in Egypt but the most prolific architect in modern times is undoubtedly American John Sanford. Several projects bear his stamp of approval, including Madinat Makadi and the 2013 co-design of Palm Hills with Jack Nicklaus.

Located in Central Africa, Equatorial Guinea lies on the west coast of the continent and it’s comprised of two parts, a mainland region and an insular region. The former territory is bordered by Cameroon to the north and Gabon to the east and south whilst the latter consists of two islands, Bioko and Annabon.

The country gained independence from Spain in 1968 but old colonial ties remain strong, with Spanish still regarded as an official language and in common use by a population of around one and a quarter million residents. The capital city of Malabo lies to the north of Bioko, though there are plans to create a new capital, Oyala, on the mainland.

Equatorial Guinea’s main claim to sporting fame came recently when it co-hosted the African Cup of Nations football tournament in 2012. We understand there are at least two golf courses in the country, the Presidential course in Mongomo, which hosted the 3E Actuaries Equatorial Guinea Golf Championship in 2016, and a new hotel resort course at Sipopo on Bioko.

Ghana – known as the Gold Coast up until independence from Britain in 1957 – lies just to the north of the Equator on the west coast of Africa, bordering Ivory Coast, Burkino Faso, Togo and the Gulf of Guinea. The country attracts many visitors annually as eco tourists to its National Parks and Nature Reserves whilst others are drawn to explore the craft villages, participate in the numerous Festivals or just relax on the golden beaches.

There are more than a dozen castles and forts dotted around the country – symbols of former Portuguese, Dutch, British and French colonial power – and these World Heritage Monuments draw in plenty of sightseers every year.

On the sporting front, football is the number one game with the national team qualifying for the World Cup Finals in 2006 and 2010. The under-23 team also finished in the bronze position at the Barcelona Olympics in 1992. Golf is very much a minority sport in Ghana but there are a dozen or so courses in the country, with Accra’s Achimota Golf Club the best of these.
