I was lucky enough to be taken to Simola several time by a friend who is a member. First thing to strike me was ,"what a stunningly beautiful place". The scenery from the club house is magnificent.

This really is the most scenic of courses. Stunning views down to Knysna Lagoon. The club/hotel is very new with helpful staff.

Take your Camara there's so much to see on this course, fantastic holes and fantastic condition, it's a must if you are in the area, the halfway house is the best we've ever seen, it has it all elevated tees and stunning ocean views, breathtaking would love to return

My husband played golf here several times and was lucky to be given corporate rates as we stayed at Knysna Stays who offer these rates! A stunning course with unrivalled views across Knysna and beyond. A MUST

what can i say?, a truly awe inspiring course with the most amazing views. you will not be disappointed. not the easiest course but yet, none of them are. price includes a buggy and halfway house drink and food, this course is not walkable. the clubhouse and locker rooms resemble a luxury home, take your camera.
