Humewood Golf Club — a true links experience in Port Elizabeth 

In October of 1931, the Humewood Golf Club held its official opening, not realizing that it would be cementing itself into golfing history. Within three years of its opening, it hosted the SA Amateur and SA Opens, the first of many to come. With a course renowned for its layout and challenging terrain, the club has hosted many famous players, such as the late Bobby Locke, who said the course was one of the best in South Africa. With its challenging course, membership offerings, pro shop and conference facilities, the Humewood Golf Club offers a true links experience in Port Elizabeth.   

Embark on a true links experience at the Humewood Golf Course 

Rated as the 15th best golf course in South Africa and placing 97th in the world, the course at the Humewood Golf Club was specially designed by Major S.V. Hotchkin. With its genuine seaside links, the course is perfectly manicured with wide fairways, fast greens, and thick coastal bush. Local wildlife has also made the course home, including plovers, commonly known as Kiewiets.   

This 18-hole, 72-par course has hosted ten South African Amateur Championships and the South African Open on five occasions. While players are always welcome at the club, they offer an exclusive membership option. With fees structured to age, each option comes with a range of added benefits, including discounts on food and beverages and full use of their lounge for functions.   

In addition to teeing off on the greens, the club boasts a range of facilities to ensure a perfect day at the course, from caddy and golf cart hire, practice facilities, lessons with professional instructors for adults and juniors, dining, and a locker room.   

The Pro Shop comes with a variety of equipment suitable for every golfer. First-time golfers will appreciate the available second-hand balls. A selection of appropriate golfing attire and accessories is also available, and at any time, the knowledgeable staff are ready to aid with any questions.   

Conferences and dining  

After a relaxing day on the course, the 19th Hole, rich with tradition, offers itself as the perfect spot to unwind. Looked after by the friendly waitstaff, visitors can sit back with a refreshing beverage and mouthwatering food options while overlooking the beauty of Port Elizabeth.  

The Humewood Golf Club provides spaces for functions and events. Their dedicated team will help create a memorable wedding, birthday party, recognition event, and even anniversaries. Additionally, they can host business meetings, conferences and training events with catering available.

About us

Actually, Home Food and Travel offers a lot more than just reviews of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.  We also visit great destinations, receive advice from interior designers and stop to smell the roses and taste the coffee.

Our team of journalists are seasoned travels and love visiting the myriad of exciting places around South Africa.  Whether it is off the beaten track or in the heart of the top attractions of the country, we’ll be there,

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation?  Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose. 

Expensive is not always better.  Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday.  They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice.  A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday. 

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance.  Of these, service is the most important. 

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion.  However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review.  We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience?  The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table. 

Well that’s our theory anyway.  It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced.  However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience.  In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe.  It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!
