Golf Courses in St Francis Bay
Championship Golf on South Africa’s Eastern Cape Coast
it’s an experience shaped by scenery, wind, and the rhythm of the coast.
St Francis Bay has quietly become one of South Africa’s most desirable golfing destinations, where world-class courses meet relaxed coastal living and year-round playability. Surrounded by rolling dunes, ocean air, and natural fynbos landscapes, golfing here offers more than just a round - it’s an experience shaped by scenery, wind, and the rhythm of the coast.
Whether you’re visiting for a dedicated golf getaway or simply looking to add a round or two to your seaside stay, Mykonos Luxury Guest House places you within minutes of two exceptional courses, both offering distinct playing styles and memorable settings.
St Francis Links Golf Course
Championship Golf Designed by Jack Nicklaus
Widely regarded as one of the finest golf courses in South Africa, St Francis Links is a Jack Nicklaus Signature course built into the natural dunes of St Francis Bay. Designed to follow the natural movement of the landscape, the course offers undulating fairways, strategic bunkering, and greens shaped by the coastal terrain itself.
Consistently ranked among the top golf courses in the country (Ranked #1 on SA Top 100 Courses), the Links provides a challenging yet rewarding experience for golfers of all levels, with multiple tee options allowing players to tailor the difficulty to their game. The course is known for its authentic links-style layout, where wind direction and thoughtful shot selection play as much of a role as distance, making every round unique.
