Golf is one of the most trending sports in South Africa, and getting a tee time is very problematic, especially on weekends and holidays. Most golfers take up membership with any of the golf clubs near to them and avail all the benefits. Learn more about two popular golf clubs in the country.

1] One of the famous link courses in South Africa is the St Francis Links, built on the high rolling dunes overseeing the Indian Ocean and St Francis Bay. Jack Nicklaus designed the St Francis Links course and created a challenging course that is short and long, wide and narrow, and uphill and down.

Each of the 18 holes was completed by gorgeous green complexes with bent grass surfaces that hold their enigmas. With cool season grasses, the course is not a solid link, yet it calls links terrain of a splendid quality entirely from 1 to 18.

The golf links are set with a great opener, needing a drive over the edge of a bunker in a dune to a remote fairway. Some bunkers are profound and powerful, yet the course has become more playable in recent years with fairways widened.

Although some golf enthusiasts do not enjoy the water hazards, they are unavoidable because of the Sand River running through the property. The fairway is appealing because of the large dam on the higher part of the course when you play from a high tee, with another prominent risk of making a rough tee shot.

The 18-course golf holes have been given names that provide the players with aptly describe what lies ahead. The golf course has a two-floor clubhouse. It provides you with a panoramic position above the 18th green with a fine dining restaurant and space as a venue for functions.

2] At Ruimsig Country Club, there are different club memberships for men, women, pensioners, and students, and there are other fees for weekdays. The club has amenities like a gym and CrossFit, a yoga centre, tennis courts, soccer grounds, a saloon, food and beverage courts, and a golf course.

With a membership, you can reserve your place by booking online. The club will send you a reminder notification a day before, which will allow you to reconfirm or cancel your booking, depending on your other commitments. A club membership will allow you to organise private parties that are usually not allowed to guests. You can organise dinners, weddings, holiday parties, or have a private celebration.

 Another great benefit of a country club membership is the permit to private event spaces that may not be available to the public. You can host any event, dinner, wedding, holiday party or any other private party.

You can get free or discounted lessons at the country club if you become a member. Golf training is usually expensive, so when you get a discount, you save some significant money. A country club wants to help its members improve and offers professional golf lessons for their members. Many clubs have PGA professionals to offer tips or provide lessons to their members. If anyone in your family wants to learn the game, they can get the training at the pro shop through the professionals.

Conclusion:

Professional golf lessons are not easy, and the coaches can help you improve your golf game and overall experience on the links and at the club. The tournaments can vary, organised just for fun and practice to serious championships or themed events. These clubs have something for the kids, too. If your kid is interested, you can join them in the junior golf program.
