The legacy of golf lives on at Gowrie Farm
Gowrie Farm offers a traditional golfing experience on a classically designed 18 hole golf course. We invite you to join us and experience golf as it is meant to be played.
We hold true to the legacy of golf and believe that it should be played as a walking game—a tradition upheld for centuries. This allows players to feel the grass under their feet, immerse themselves in the refreshing air, and take in the magnificent views of the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands.
Our course sets itself apart from the crowd by taking direct inspiration from the original golf courses in Scotland, and some of the American courses, such as Pinehurst and Merion. It has been built in the traditional way, with features rooted in the natural landscapes, tees close to the ground, simple fairways that follow the land, and push-up greens.
Here, players are afforded the opportunity to contribute to the enduring narrative of golf by honouring the original spirit of the game, respecting its legends, and passing on the tradition of this timeless sport. It’s a place where players can experience true camaraderie and become part of a legacy.
When you play at Gowrie Farm, you become part of a timeless tradition, with each shot a testament to the enduring spirit of golf. Here, the game is pure, demanding, and authentic.
"GOWRIE FARM IS THE BEST KEPT SECRET IN WORLD GOLF."

INSIDER TIPS FROM COURSE DESIGNER GUY SMITH
Our 18 hole golf course presents a distinctive and rewarding challenge, and is possibly very different from those that you normally play. Course architect, Guy Smith, has shared valuable tips on how to make the most of this exceptional layout.
OUR STORY
Gowrie Farm was originally a golf course in the 1920's, so it seemed appropriate to revert to a golf course in 2008, 150 years after it was initially registered.
