St Francis Links Golf Course. This beautiful and unique links course was designed by the famous American golfer Jack Nicklaus, and appears regularly on many of South Africa's top 10 golf course lists. It's a varied, undulating, and very challenging course that has been designed to mirror the terrain on which it was built; the shape of the greens comes from the natural contours of the sand beneath, and the course incorporates various wetlands areas and weaves its way between dense outcrops of indigenous fynbos as well as along parts of the rugged coastline of St Francis Bay. There's also a decent family-friendly clubhouse restaurant and bar. Lyme Rd., St. Francis Bay, Cape St Francis, Eastern Cape. 042/200–4500; www.stfrancislinks.co.za. R350 for 9 holes, R550 for 18 holes; club rentals R290.
