Humewood Golf
Golf Course in Port Elizabeth

Home to one of the world's most challenging links courses, Humewood is consistently ranked as one of South Africa's Top 10 golf courses.

In 1929, Port Elizabeth Golf Club members asked course architect Colonel SV Hotchkin to design a second championship course for the town. He did break away, though, from the traditional 9 holes out and 9 holes back approach and, instead, he built a course of two separate 9's. As a result, the holes run in different directions so that the golfer doesn't get to play a long sequence of holes, either downwind or into the wind. This project was taken on by Golf Data and resulted in magnificent putting surfaces. Today, Humewood is still one of only a few genuine links courses found outside of Britain. It is situated on the sand dunes on the shores of Algoa Bay, Port Elizabeth. The fairways are exposed, undulating and wide to compensate for strong winds. Greens are firm and fast, the rough is thick coastal bush and there are no water hazards. Elegantly set, it extends a warm and welcoming feeling to all. The abundant animal life includes monkeys, small buck, tortoises, meerkats and plovers. Found in the coastal city of Port Elizabeth, the golf course is a genuine seaside links, with wide and undulating fairways, fast greens and thick coastal bush.
