Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to plan a golf trip to Buffalo City?

We find the shoulder seasons - spring (September-November) and autumn (March-May) - offer the most pleasant conditions. You'll enjoy warm, sunny days perfect for a round, avoiding the peak summer heat and any potential winter chill. The courses are typically in excellent shape during these months.

What kind of golf experience can I expect from the courses in Buffalo City?

You'll discover a mix here, from classic parkland layouts to coastal tracks with a distinct East London feel. While there are only five courses, each offers a unique challenge, often featuring mature trees, well-placed bunkers, and sometimes a refreshing sea breeze to keep you honest. It's a solid collection for a diverse golf trip.

How do the green fees in Buffalo City compare to other South African golf destinations?

We consider Buffalo City to offer excellent value for money. Green fees are generally more affordable than in major hubs like Cape Town or Johannesburg, allowing you to play more rounds without breaking the bank. You'll find well-maintained courses and a friendly atmosphere without the premium price tag.

What should we do when we're not on the golf course in Buffalo City?

Don't miss exploring East London's beaches - Nahoon and Gonubie are fantastic for a post-round stroll or swim. The city also has some interesting historical sites and a relaxed coastal vibe, perfect for unwinding. We recommend trying some local seafood; it's always fresh and delicious.

Is it easy to get between the golf courses and other attractions in Buffalo City?

Absolutely, getting around Buffalo City is quite straightforward. The courses are relatively close to each other and to the main city areas, making self-driving the most convenient option. Taxis and ride-sharing services are also readily available if you prefer not to drive yourself.
