Simola Hotel and Country Club Estate
GARDEN ROUTE COUNTRY CLUB WESTERN CAPE COUNTRY HOTEL KNYSNA HOTEL ACCOMMODATION
The Simola Hotel & Golf Estate is situated on 470 hectares of naturally landscaped land in the heart of pristine Knysna woodlands where the famous Knysna Heads, the azure waters of the lagoon form a spectacular backdrop to the Estate. Knynsa is easily accessibly from Port Elizabeth and from Cape Town via Mossel Bay and George. The Garden Route in South Africa is a popular destination for travelers who are looking for relaxation, adventure and an unforgettable golf experience.
The Golf Course at the Simola Estate
The Simola Hotel & Golf Estate in Knsya, South Africa, boasts an award winning 18-hole Championship Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course. This golf course also offers:
- Driving Range
- Chipping & Putting Area
- Halfway House
Beautiful views can be enjoyed from the Simola Golf Course, keeping ones head down at Simola can therefore be a challenge. The Simola Golf Course 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 Simola golf course offers challenging and rewarding golf amidst spectacular scenery. Set below the high ridges, it is free from the wind which is very common in this coastal region. Fairways flow with the natural undulating contours of the terrain and the unusual configuration of five par 5's and five par 3's adds a new dimension to the game. It's par for the course that every hole boasts exceptional views; either out 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.
