St Francis Bay Golf Club

St Francis Bay Golf Club is an 18-hole golf venue on Lyme Road South, set within the coastal village of St Francis Bay in the Eastern Cape. The course looks towards the ocean and combines a seaside setting with a traditional club atmosphere. It is suited to golfers looking for a full round in a relaxed setting, as well as visitors interested in spending time in the clubhouse after play.

The par 71 course is of moderate length, but its layout calls for considered shot-making. Wind can have a noticeable effect on play, changing club selection and adding another layer to the round. The course includes a mix of holes within a setting shaped by the nearby ocean and village, making it appropriate for golfers who enjoy a course that rewards planning rather than relying only on distance.

The club’s character is centred on warm hospitality and a sociable spirit. The clubhouse includes a lounge and dining area with seating for up to 100 people, providing space for refreshments, meals and group gatherings. The dining style is clubhouse fare rather than a separately described restaurant concept, with the emphasis on a comfortable place to relax before or after golf.

A fully stocked pro shop forms part of the club’s facilities, with golf clothing and accessories available. Tee times, green fees and membership are handled through the club, while the course also hosts events. The venue can therefore suit visiting golfers, local members and groups using the clubhouse for a shared occasion. The wider St Francis Bay area also supports activities including swimming, surfing, windsurfing, tennis, squash, bowls, paddle tennis and mountain biking, giving the golf club a natural place within a broader coastal leisure destination.

St Francis Bay Golf Club is located at 556 Lyme Road South, St Francis Bay, 6312, South Africa. Reservations can be made by contacting the club directly on 042 294 0467 or at bookings@stfrancisgolf.co.za.
