The Old Course – George Golf Club | GolfPlayed Films Season 1
In the 1st ever episode of GolfPlayed Films we visit the lovely George Golf Club which is also known as “The old Course”.
George has always been seen as one of the most delightful parkland courses in South Africa. It was in the Top 10 of the very first Golf Digest rankings in 1998, and has held its own since despite the plethora of great layouts built over the last 20 years. The course was established in 1906 and the layout hasn’t changed much since.
According to South Africa’s top 100 Golf Courses:
George Golf Club’s reputation comes from being a wonderful walk along attractive leafy fairways; having an interesting variety of holes on gently undulating terrain; the enjoyment of its challenges for a diverse range of handicaps; and conditioning of a consistently high quality. Plus the majestic backdrop of the Outeniqua mountain range. It is one of the busiest and most popular courses in the Garden Route region which includes seven of the top 25 courses in South Africa.
George was for many years the only golf course in the city, and now there are five. Visitors to the nearby Fancourt resort quickly discover that George GC is one of this country’s gems, and refer to it as “The Old Course.”
In this video we interview the chairman and course superintendent of Geroge Golf Club. We also play the back nine with Dustin and Michael who are part of the GolfPlayed family and came from our Instagram page. We have an extremely eventful round and get to enjoy a round at the legendary George Golf Course.
I want to thank George Golf Club for having us and making this video possible. It was such an amazing opportunity. This course really brought back that exciting feeling when you get to tick an awesome golf course off your list!

Had been a bucket list course of mine since 1993 and played it in December 2020. What an amazing course it is, but be sure to hit straight😁 and take some luck with you on the day. I think I found half of the trees on the day🙈. Will definitely be back and play it again.
Never had the privilege of playing this course before. Looks like I’m heading through to George sooner than expected👍🏻 awesome video!
