Extra info
Ostriches thrive in the year-round hot and dry areas and since Oudtshoorn is renowned for its Ostrich farms, you should have some indication of the type of weather to expect. Indeed you could be forgiven for anticipating a golf course with dry brown fairways and sandy brown greens, but the golf course at Oudtshoorn will surprise you There is little doubt that the low rainfall of this area has made it a challenge to the golf committee, which has somehow succeeded in introducing a reticulation system that has managed to defy the natural environment.
In recent years, improvements to the course have resulted in a year round quality that has transformed this country course into a worthwhile stop for the travelling golfer. The best time to play this golf course, nevertheless, is in winter, especially if the Southern Cape Coastal courses are being pounded with rain. You will enjoy playing along the green fairways lined with an abundance of Pepper trees, tall palms, water, (yes, there is some!) Karoo style scrubland and thick Blue Gums, all of which will ensure that your golfing skills will be tested.
The rough is rough and sometimes rocky and the greens will surprise you with their consistency. The clubhouse is small, but the bar itself is large and welcoming
