East London Golf Club

East London Golf Club Established in 1893 and ranked 10th in South Africa, East London Golf Club offers more than championship golf.
(1009)

With versatile event spaces, exceptional catering and warm hospitality, it's a top coastal destination for weddings, conferences, and functions. East London Golf Club (ELGC) is one of the oldest golf clubs in South Africa, founded in 1893. Over the past 125 years the position of the course has changed three times. The common feature of all three courses was great views over the sea. The current layout is a coastal gem, which encompasses hills, dunes and indigenous bush. Constructed in the 1920s, the builders were forced to caress the land, rather than move thousands of tons of earth, which was fortunate for ELGC. Today its relatively undisturbed terrain is its most pleasing feature. Course designer Col SV Hotchin’s original drawings are still on display in the clubhouse. The course has a combination of both links and parkland features and is home to several species of buck and bird life. Views from the 12th green overlook the nearby harbour, seaside hotels and city. While city appears to be almost within a well-struck drive away, one of the main factors against relocating from the old “Grens” course, the second ELGC, was travelling distance from the town

ELGC is consistently in Golf Digest’s Top 20 courses, and is rated as one of the best Championship courses in South Africa. The Club hosted the SA Open six times and is a regular home for National and Regional Championships, and hosts many Seniors and Nomads Tournaments. It was also the venue for the first Africa Open, a European Tour event. The best golfers on the European tour played the course. The regular feedback was that it was one of the best natural tracks played by the professionals. Not only that, they really enjoyed the hospitality and knowledgeable crowds. Aside from golf, there are bowling greens and croquet lawns within the grounds. The club is renowned for its catering, events and conferences.
