 The Holiday in Review!
Well, aside from a couple of "perky" days - 2 which fell when the course was closed (Xmas and New Year), the course was active, the Club was active, the special events were well supported, the charity days were financially beneficial for the recipients; and the staff, our TEAM, most of them, performed and survived to tell the story. While we weren't perfect with the occasional order that came late or the fourball that lost the plot, compliments from so many, indicate that we were pretty darn good at making memories and surpassing expectations! In the holiday, we: Played 3005 rounds of golf Filled 2195 seats on our cart fleet Witnessed 4 perfect shots with one ACE (Johan Serfontein's) going viral after he passed on our FAKE invoice to friends.

A timely meeting in Cannes Two of our appointments at the International Golf Travel Market were with representatives from Leading Courses and those meetings led to revisiting our position and representation with them on their website. After the good interaction and our commitment to get more involved, they chose to feature us for the 1st week of January on the website, their Facebook page, Instagram and twitter posts - to their clients around the world - the value is substantial. We have had only 24 reviews compared to Fancourt and Pinnacle Point and I am asking for your support - take the time to "share the love" in a review! It WILL bring more visitors to the Links! Every month, over 350,000 golfers check the 20,769 golf clubs, 24,754 golf courses, 354,114 reviews and 98,443 photos on Leadingcourses.com, the largest golf course review site of Europe.
From their website As the European Tour starts its 2018 season in South Africa, we bring you a South African Homepage Spotlight. It's the beautiful St Francis Links near Port Elizabeth!
