About St Francis Golf Lodge
The Lodge
Presiding over the 1st tee of the award winning Jack Nicklaus designed St Francis Links, St Francis Golf Lodge is a place where golf enthusiasts can escape to indulge their favourite pastime and relax in the beautiful surrounds of St Francis Bay in Southern Africa. Thoughtful service, laid back comfort, and the opportunity to test your mettle on one on the Top 10 courses in South Africa, is all part of the St Francis Golf Lodge experience. Guests can expect to leave us with a replenished spirit and renewed love of the game.
The Lodge comprises two five bedroom houses adjacent to each other and it is located within walking distance of The Links Clubhouse. Guests have access to both houses and the facilities are shared by all. Each house has a spacious open plan lounge and dining room area with free internet access, an honesty bar and a complimentary tea & coffee station.
Stay in one of our 10 stylish en-suite rooms each equipped with a tea tray, ceiling fan, heater, safe, hairdryer, guest amenities, free Wi Fi and flat screen TV’s with hospitality DSTV channels. Eight of our Double/Twin en-suite bedrooms have large walk-in showers, double vanities and standing balconies with views of the golf course, the ocean and the mountains in the distance. The remaining two bedrooms have full en-suite bathrooms (bath, shower, single vanity) as well as large private patios with outdoor showers. These rooms do not have views of the golf course but they are more spacious and are at street/entrance level (no stairs).
The Golf
Designed by golfing legend Jack Nicklaus – the award winning St Francis Links has put St Francis Bay on the golf-map and has captured the imagination of all golfers who simply love the game. Jack himself describes the course as ‘the best links course I have ever designed’. The course demands a wide range of shots because of its unprotected exposure to the elements, its undulating and often unpredictable terrain, the fine coastal grasses and firmness of soil. It may not be as "pretty" as a traditional course, but it possesses an untamed raw beauty that is both inspiring and challenging. A true Links.
The Clubhouse - considered to be one of South Africa’s best on-course facilities - is just a two-minute stroll from the Lodge. Besides The Links Restaurant, Jack’s Bar and the Halfway House, the facility also boasts a conference room, two lounges, the golf shop, locker rooms for players and an excellent spa with fully-trained therapists ready to offer signature treatments. A swing by the golf academy will allow you to finesse your technique.
The Clubhouse is open from 6h30 daily for breakfast & lunch and on Monday & Wednesday evenings for dinner.
St Francis Links voted "Top 10 Golf Courses in S.A." by Golf Digest.
