Golfing

Nottingham Road may be a small village, but it offers big experiences for golf lovers, with three standout courses in the near vicinity: Gowrie Farm, Bosch Hoek Golf And Lodge and Mooi River Country Club—the latter ranked among SA’s top 9-hole courses!
Gowrie Farm
is a walking-only, 18-hole course designed in the style of the greats—drawing inspiration from Scottish links and American classics like Pinehurst and Merion. Its traditional design features include push-up greens, natural fairways, and minimal earth movement—preserving the natural contours of the land.
Bosch Hoek Golf And Lodge is a scenic and storied 18-hole course, originally designed in the early 1960s by renowned architect Robert Grimsdell. First laid out as a private course on Sir Ernest Barlow’s farm, it quietly evolved into one of the Midlands’ most loved golfing destinations. A major 2013 upgrade brought in bentgrass greens, modernized clubhouse facilities, and smart course enhancements—offering both charm and challenge. The front and back nines, though on a 9-green layout, are completely distinct thanks to cleverly positioned tees.
Mooi River Country Club is one of South Africa’s top-rated 9-hole layouts, known for its challenging design, well-kept fairways, and spectacular Midlands scenery. A hidden gem that offers excellent value and an enjoyable round for all levels of golfers.
Surrounded by the serene beauty of the KZN Midlands, each course offers a unique experience—whether it’s tradition at Gowrie, tranquility at Bosch Hoek, or a quick, quality round at Mooi River.
Come for a weekend of golf, crisp winter air, and warm Nottingham Road hospitality.
