Ranking: RNR (Recommended not Ranked)
Rating (Par): 74
Designer: Ernie Els
Holes: 18
Type: Links

Oubaai Golf Club is the first and only Ernie Els signature course (3 times Major Championship Winner) in South Africa, and the design allows for a challenge to all levels of golfer. Oubaai is located about 10km from George Airport on the coastline at Herolds Bay. It is a Championship Golf Course, and Ernie Els himself has placed Oubaai as his favorite course in the world. Being a coastal golf course, the wind plays a role in the defenses of the course, however you will find generous fairways off the tees but these are also well bunkered to penalize any stray or ill considered drives. The greens are in excellent condition.

Oubaai Golf Club Facilities:

• Open Tuesday – Sunday
• Monday closed for maintenance, except on long weekends and school holidays
• Visitors welcome every day
• Pro shop
• Golf club hire
