There are over 400 golf courses in South Africa. So when players describe Pezula Championship Golf Course as a "golfing paradise", you know this option goes beyond the ordinary. Covering 254 hectares in Knysna, the course invites you to experience one of the world's most scenic 18-hole layouts.

Above this, Pezula Championship Golf Course delights with eagerly anticipated events, a vibrant clubhouse, and extraordinary accolades.
Find glory with this course layout
Designed by David Dale and Ronald Fream of GolfPlan USA, the course layout takes you through enchanting coastal terrain. Even with golf carts, this is a leisurely play of four hours and 50 minutes (including a halfway break). But with such well-maintained conditions and attentive staff, it's sure to win your heart. A highlight is Pezula Championship Golf Course's signature hole 14, a definite photo opportunity and one that demands a proper lay-up. Smart golfers would be wise to look over the course's map to find success on this par-72 course.
