About
Gowrie Farm golf course in the Midlands of KwaZulu-Natal has been built in the classic style. The fairways are kikuyu, with bent grass greens and surrounds. A feature of the golf course is the rugged bunkers. Gowrie Farm is an interesting course which demands accurate iron play and good chipping.
Gowrie Farm Golf course is a 9 hole course, designed by Guy Smith, an Attorney from Pietermaritzburg.
In building Gowrie Farm, Guy identified the following as important elements in classic design:
- Tees, which are close to the ground;
- Fairway shapes which are dictated to by the natural features of the land;
- Push-up greens with interesting run-offs;
Bunkers which are tucked in close to the greens;
- Fairway bunkers which dictate a player’s choice of option from the tee.
