Once only a nine-hole and mainly sand course, Clovelly was designed by Dr Charles Molteno Murray, one of the best known golf architects of his day. Advocate Bobby Lewin was responsible for much of the magnificent landscaping.Together they produced one of Southern Africa’s most picturesque and challenging courses.

Of moderate length (5 869m – Par 72 men & Par 73 ladies), Clovelly is unique in that it follows neither the links nor the American tradition in its design. It is a tight course by South African standards, and has a fine blend of testing holes, with the Silvermine River, and adjacent ponds adding much to their character.

Famous for its rolling, computer-irrigated fairways and undulating holes, Clovelly complements its rich coastal environment.
