Royal Port Alfred Golf Club

Royal Port Alfred Golf Club is a golf-focused venue on the corner of Princes Avenue and St Andrews Road in Port Alfred, Eastern Cape. Its setting is centred on a traditional club course, with facilities that accommodate regular members, visiting golfers and families looking for a shorter, more accessible round.

The club offers a nine-hole Chip and Putt mashie course with three alternate tees. The yellow, white and blue tee options provide variation across the layout, while the shorter format makes the course suitable for a relaxed game, practice session or introduction to golf. Families, visitors and members are invited to play the course, giving it a recreational character alongside its role as an established local golf club.

Royal Port Alfred Golf Club is also one of four golf clubs in South Africa granted the right to use the title “Royal”. That distinction forms part of the club’s identity, while the course itself remains the central attraction. The combination of a nine-hole layout and alternate tee positions gives golfers a choice of how to approach a round without committing to a full-length course.

The venue operates as a practical, community-oriented golf setting rather than a formal destination built around dining or entertainment. Its appeal lies in accessible golf, a straightforward club atmosphere and the opportunity to play in Port Alfred. The course is open every day from 07:00 to 17:00. Administration is available on weekdays during the same hours, supporting enquiries and golf bookings.

Visitors can contact the club regarding playing arrangements, the visitor booking process and current course requirements. The club’s visitor and golf booking facilities make it possible to organise a round before arrival, while the on-site setting suits casual players, families and golfers visiting the town. For administrative enquiries, the club can be reached on 046 624 4796 or at admin@rpagc.co.za. The general contact email is manager@rpagc.co.za.
