...FALL IN LOVE WITH GOLF ALL OVER AGAIN....
You could scarcely wish for a more dramatic location on which to create a golf course. It was clear from the outset that this golf course would be designed to maximize the impact of its natural, rugged and beautiful surroundings.
Oubaai Golf Club was designed with its philosophy rooted in flexibility; the course itself has been sculpted in accordance with the landscape, ensuring that the surrounding environment is enhanced and not hindered. The result is a lush stretch of land that is framed by the magnificent Outeniqua Mountains which hover in the distance, while the Gwaing River Valley winds a vicarious route just below the course.
Practise Facilities
Oubaai Golf has a full service practice facility including driving range, and two practice putting greens. The golf practice facilities at Oubaai are among the best in the Garden Route and include a large driving range, putting green and short-game area, all complimentary with your round of golf. Our professional staff recommends using the practice facilities before your round to build confidence in your golf swing. Start with your wedges and short irons, progress to your longer irons, then your fairway woods. Finish practicing your full swing with your driver or 3 wood.
PRO Shop
Oubaai Golf Club's pro shop is located in the Clubhouse and stocks a wide range of Ahead and Cutter & Buck apparel for sale, appealing to both the golfer and non-golfer. Here you can book a round of golf, rent a golf cart with GPS technology, enter the weekly competitions, purchase the latest in golf equipment, pick up a golfing tip or two, book a golf day and arrange a lesson with the qualified golf professionals.

ERNIE ELS DESIGN 18-HOLE CHAMPIONSHIP COURSE
In designing the Oubaai Golf Club, an 18-hole championship golf course and driving range, Ernie Els and his team have taken full advantage of the spectacular landscape of the Western Cape. They had the support of Nicklaus Design as technical advisors.
The Clubhouse has a dramatic location that overlooks the 16th, 17th and 18th greens. Open-air terraces offer panoramic views of the Indian Ocean and the Gwaing River valley.
The Ernie Els golf design philosophy is based on flexibility. Concepts are moulded according to the landscape, not vice versa. The aim is to produce courses that are fun to play and that enhance the surrounding environment. In addition, golf courses fairly display challenges and hazards while affording players the opportunity to use a full range of shots and plan strategically for individual holes.
Links layout where veld grasses line the lush fairways. The course measures 6516m from the pro tee's which is uniquely long for a Coastal course. Oubaai offers a wonderfully stimulating and enjoyable golfing experience.
The resort offers full facilities including a Clubhouse with breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean, locker rooms and Pro Shop.
The Course has 5 Par 3's and 5 Par 5's.
The 6th is a Par 3 - the green is framed by the Outeniqua Mountains in the distance and the Gwaing River flows below you. A 120 metre drive is required to cross the gorge and reach the fairway. The 17th is the most photographed hole, where the green meets the ocean. The green is guarded by 4 bunkers with ever changing winds making it one of the most challenging plays.
The course is designed to be enjoyed by golfers of all abilities.
