SIMOLA
Keeping your head down at Simola can be a challenge simply because the views around the course are awe-inspiring and it is understandable why Simola takes its place as one of South Africa's premier golfing destinations. It's also the first Jack Nicklaus signature course on the Garden Route, reflecting the maestro's philosophy of attuning the layout and design to the natural lie of the land.
The course offers challenging and rewarding golf amidst spectacular scenery. Set below the high ridges, it’s free from the wind that so often plagues coastal courses. Fairways flow with the natural undulating contours of the terrain and the unusual configuration of five par 5s and five par 3s adds a new dimension to the game. It's par for the course that every hole boasts exceptional views, either across the Knysna Lagoon all the way to The Heads or over the picturesque Knysna River as it twists and turns through the valley below.
