Oubaai Golf Course is proud to be the first Ernie Els signature course in South Africa. The golf course design allows for a challenge to all levels of golfer and is a testimony to the talents of South Africa’s favourite golfing son.
Located approximately 10km from George Airport on the coastline of the Garden Route near Herolds Bay, Oubaai Golf Course is a championship layout. It is rated by Els, a two-time winner of the US Open and a British Open title-holder, as one of his favourite courses in the world.
The most photographed hole on the Oubaai Golf course is the Par 3 17th where the green is below you and framed by the ocean which influences 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 you are looking at a much smaller target! It does make the hole even more memorable if you're lucky enough to sight a whale in the Indian Ocean during your time spent in this corner of the Oubaai course.
