| Humewood Golf Club |
|
The Humewood Golf Club in Port Elizabeth was opened in 1931 and is one of the few links courses in South Africa. It belongs to the top ten in the country and hosted the South African Open four times. The course surrounds the impressive double-storey club house, from where one can enjoy the beautiful view of the course itself and Algoa Bay.
Humewood is known to be difficult. The fairways are undulating, the bunkers deep, and the frequent strong winds, often gale force between October and January, top it up.
The club's symbol is the "Kiewietjie", a peewit species. These birds are nesting on the grounds and their nests are marked with red flags. If a ball lands too close to a nest (less than the length of two golf clubs), it may be lifted and dropped without penalty.
