The golf course is a superb
masterpiece affording golfers breathtaking scenery as they weave
their way through manicured fairways and coastal forest. Created
in 1985 when Denis Barker decided to turn his diary stud farm
into a golf course, Selborne’s claim to having one of the
premier championship golf courses in the country is well justified
when you consider the amount of both professional and amateur
golfers from around the world who return every year for the pleasure
it gives them.
One must also not forget that Selborne is situated on South Africa’s
“Golf Coast”. Within an hours drive of Selborne are
a number of other top golf courses – 11 of them in Golf
Digest’s top 100 courses.
In terms of the ultimate golfing
experience, Selborne is the recipient of Complete Golfer's Five-star
Golf Experience Award; based on service excellence, top-class
clubhouse facilities, golf course conditioning and last but not
least the overall lingering experience.
Selborne Country Club and
Golf Course is rated independently by GOLF DIGEST magazine as
a top 100 South African golf course.
