Simola Golf & Country Estate

Simola Golf & Country Estate is a Jack Nicklaus Signature design — one of only two Nicklaus Signature courses in South Africa, the other being Pearl Valley — set high in the hills above the legendary Knysna Lagoon. The course opened in 2008 and commands arguably the most spectacular views of any South African golf course, with the Knysna Lagoon, its famous Heads and the surrounding Knysna Forests visible from virtually every hole.
