Signature Holes

While every hole at Swellendam Golf Club offers its own unique challenge, a few stand out as signature experiences:

Hole 4 (Par 4): This hole is a test of accuracy and nerve. With a dogleg left, players must navigate a narrow fairway bordered by trees and a strategically placed bunker. The elevated green requires a precise approach shot.

Hole 7 (Par 3): Known for its breathtaking views, this par 3 demands a well-judged tee shot over water to a green surrounded by bunkers. The panoramic vista of the surrounding countryside from the tee box is a highlight of any round.

Hole 9 (Par 5): The finishing hole is a long par 5 that challenges golfers with its length and strategic bunkering. A well-placed tee shot is essential to avoid the hazards, and reaching the green in regulation requires both power and finesse.
