A blend of Bayview Fairways and Kikuyu grasses make up the green and there is a Bar, Boardroom, Chipping Green, Halfway House, Pool Room, Pro Shop, Locker Rooms, Putting Green and Function Facilities build on the premises.
There are two 18-hole golf courses in St Francis Bay that is just down the road from Jeffreys Bay, one of them been the St Francis Bay Golf Club.
