Wedgewood Golf & Country estate

Members of the Port Elizabeth Jewish community established Wedgewood Park Country Club in 1949 and it was named in honour of British politician Josiah Clement Wedgwood, a strong campaigner for social justice who was also instrumental in saving the lives of many Jewish refugees fleeing Nazi Europe in the 1930s.

The last game of golf on the old Wedgewood Park Country Club course was played in April 2007. The re-design and re-construction of the layout began shortly thereafter.

Sean Quinn of Golf Data designed the golf course, and it was opened in 2013, built on the same land as the old Wedgwood Country Club and the sporting focal point of a residential development. Several new lakes have been installed on the front nine to enhance the scenery and raise the strategic challenge. Many of the original playing corridors have been altered on the more undulating back nine, with only the new 12th and 13th (the old 15th and 16th) remaining largely intact.

Located just outside of Port Elizabeth, Wedgewood Golf & Country Estate is a major attraction for golfers in the Eastern Cape, featuring bent grass greens that can compete against any golf course in the country. Although not the longest course, it is a challenge for all handicap players. It offers a lot of birdie opportunities on a good day but can bite back just as quickly if you are not careful.

Wedgewood is the home of the Eastern Province Strokeplay, a national event that is well supported and enjoyed by top amateurs from all around the country.

The estate is growing every day with +- 100 houses and plenty more under construction. Future plans include a driving range, gym, hotel, tennis courts, swimming pools, restaurants and many more attractions to ensure that residents and visitors don’t need to leave the estate to enjoy a good time.

Wedgewood Golf and Country Estate is on the rapid growing outskirts of Port Elizabeth. A brand new shopping mall, top schools and a fast growing network of residential estates promise owners a bustling extension of Port Elizabeth City in the near future. What makes Wedgewood different? That you'll have to come and see. Once one stands here amongst trees, lakes and everything beautiful mother nature offers, it really makes sense. It's country living with all the convenience of city life.
