The Fish River Country Club is an 18-hole
championship course near Port Alfred in the Eastern Cape designed by
Gary Player.
The setting is exquisite, with the course stretching out along the
Indian Ocean coastline. Being so close to the coast, one would expect
the Fish River to be a Links course but in fact it has a distinctive
Parklands layout. When the coastal wind blows the whole character of the
course changes and it becomes a tough challenge.
Fish River Golf Course
The course is long and challenging and you will have to be on top of
your game to score well. Water comes into play on a number of holes and
you even have to cross a river twice by raft to get to your ball. The
fairways are bordered by the natural thick coastal vegetation and high
rolling dunes, that are common to the area. Great care was taken not to
disturb the vegetation, especially the Euphorbia trees found on several
of the holes.
Complemented by an unspoilt coastline, the Fish River Sun is situated
midway between East London and Port Elizabeth and is easily accessible.
The self-catering, air-conditioned rooms have a bath, shower,
television, video channel and telephone. The resort offers a wide
variety of entertainment, and guests can enjoy scenic walks through the
indigenous estate. or deep sea fishing for the fishing enthusiasts,
weather permitting.
