The most photographed hole on the course is the Par 3 17th where the green is below you and framed by the ocean which influences you to you to short club. The short distance of the hole of 144 meters from the back tee and the downhill elevation of the hole can offer a false sense of security however it is prudent to remember the 4 bunkers guarding the green and with the breeze coming in off the sea that can add up to an extra 3 clubs on those special Cape South Coast days! All of a sudden Signature holeyou are looking at a much smaller target! It does make the hole even more memorable if you lucky enough to sight a whale the Indian Ocean during your time spent in this corner of the course.
Equally remarked upon by members and visitors alike is the imposing Par 3 6th which transports you to another world as you descend to the tee box. The green is framed by the Outeniqua Mountains in the distance, in front of you the gorge presents a carry of 160 meters which you need to negotiate to reach the green and accuracy of flight is imperative as steep run off areas and deep bunkers surround the target. The Gwaing River flows far below and to the right while behind and in the distance the Ocean is in sight. If you are lucky the resident Fish Eagles of the Gorge will put in an appearance.
