One of the Top 10 Nine hole courses in South Africa


It must be said that Hankey Golf Club is one of my favorite places to play golf and I am sure that counts for many golfers from the Eastern Cape and South Africa. This little 9 hole course is not rated amongst the Top 10 - 9 hole courses in South Africa for nothing.


Hankey is one of three towns that make up the Gamtoos Valley - an exceptionally beautiful part of the world due mainly to its ability to remain largely undetected and thus unspoilt - that stretches up to Komdomo and the start of the Baviaanskloof wilderness, now a World Heritage Site.


The town of Hankey lies surrounded by beautiful hills and fertile farming land, en route from Port Elizabeth to the Baviaanskloof - a route that also winds through Humansdorp and Patensie. The Baviaanskloof is literally a kloof along which a road crosses a series of at least 100 low water crossings through a 192 000 hectare conservation area that is home to an incredible diversity of habitats and species.
