The Estate...
Oubaai is the ultimate golf estate on the Garden Route. Bordered by a river valley, the clear, warm water of the Indian Ocean and woodlands, Oubaai presents the perfect site for a golf estate. With a Championship 18-hole golf course designed by Ernie Els, Oubaai promises a golfing experience comparable to the best the world has to offer.

Situated only 8 kilometres from George, Oubaai has the uniqueness of two types of living: Around the golf course, 322 erven make up the residential estate, while "The Village" offers the easy lock-up-and-go option of apartment living.

Between rounds on the Ernie Els Championship Golf Course, stroll through the exquisite natural surroundings of The Village. Take in the seascapes with rugged rocks and crashing surf. Or enjoy the ever-changing faces of the mountains surrounding you. Some days you might feel like driving to one of the well-known spots or attractions on the Garden Route. If it's variety you're after, Oubaai Village is your perfect base.

About 3km outside Oubaai, nestled in a magnificent and sheltered rocky cove where the golden beach sands meet the frothy, turquoise waters of the ocean, you'll find Herold's Bay. Here you'll find coastal walks and trails ideal for spotting dolphins and whales. The unspoilt coastal fynbos makes it a popular spot for birders and nature-lovers. Also, all the attractions of the town of George are only 20 minutes away.

Ernie's approach to golf course design is centred around flexibility. Concepts are molded according to the landscape and not vice versa. Ernie and his team aim to produce courses that are fun to play and that enhance the surrounding environment. Furthermore the courses fairly display challenges and hazards whilst affording players the opportunity to use a full range of shots and plan strategically for individual holes.
