Cradock Golf Club is a welcoming 9-hole course set along the banks of the Great Fish River. Its position next to the river gives the fairways and greens a steady water supply, creating a surprisingly lush, well-wooded environment in the heart of the semi-arid Karoo. The contrast between green, river-fed lawns and the wide, open landscapes surrounding the town lends the course a unique charm, making it one of the more attractive golfing spots in the region.

The club plays 18 holes to a par 72 and offers a relaxed, easy-going atmosphere suited to both locals and visitors. It’s open to non-members, making it ideal for travellers passing through the Karoo who want to enjoy a round without the formality of bigger championship courses. The clubhouse and facilities add to its friendly, community feel, and the course is often noted as one of the finest in the Karoo area.

Cradock itself is a historic agricultural town known for wool, mohair and cattle farming, and the surrounding landscape is marked by big skies, dry plains and a quiet sense of space. Against this backdrop, the golf course stands out as an inviting, green oasis where players can enjoy scenic views, tranquillity and a laid-back game of golf. Whether you’re staying in Cradock or simply stopping by, Cradock Golf Club offers an enjoyable and peaceful golfing experience in a distinctly Karoo setting.
