Kingswood Golf Estate: a premier investment in the heart of the Garden Route
A rich history in a tranquil setting
The story of Kingswood is deeply intertwined with the history of George itself, a town established in the early 19th century as a woodcutter’s outpost supplying timber to the Cape Colony. Surrounded by magnificent indigenous forests and ancient mountains, George has grown into the gateway to one of South Africa’s most beautiful regions – a true paradise that provides the perfect backdrop for Kingswood Golf Estate.
The name ‘Kingswood’ is derived from a picturesque village near Bristol, in the United Kingdom, home to the world’s only open-air cathedral and a renowned country club with an immaculate golf course. Drawing inspiration from its namesake, Kingswood Golf Estate in George offers a tranquil and imaginative environment that echoes the charm and elegance of its UK counterpart.
The award-winning golf course
At the heart of Kingswood lies its challenging golf course, a masterpiece designed by Danie Obermeyer and enhanced by the input of South African golfing legend Sally Little. The course is inspired by the Home of Golf, St Andrews in Scotland, featuring links-style open fairways, undulating greens and traditional pot bunkers. This design makes it a unique and challenging course, earning Kingswood a reputation for having the best greens on the Garden Route.
Kingswood’s course is not just a local favourite; it has also received international recognition. The estate was honoured with The Europe & Africa Property Award 2010 in association with Bloomberg Television, highlighting its exceptional design and facilities. This award underscores Kingswood’s status as a must-play destination for golfers, frequently attracting Sunshine Tour players when they are not on tour.
The course offers a journey through breathtaking landscapes, starting with the front nine that follow the natural topography, providing a relatively gentle start. However, the back nine, with their panoramic views of the Outeniqua Mountains, present a challenge that’s ‘better than most’. The final four holes, in particular, are known for their difficulty, offering a true test of skill and endurance for any golfer. Par all four on a competition day, and you might just walk away with a complimentary round, courtesy of the estate’s management.

The architectural style throughout the estate is Cape Vernacular, whether you seek tranquillity, a family-friendly environment, or a more dynamic community atmosphere. The homes at Kingswood are designed with elegance and comfort in mind, seamlessly blending with the estate’s natural beauty.
As the estate continues to expand, the ongoing construction of phase four of the Kingswood Ridge and a new Community Centre/ Clubhouse promise to further enhance the lifestyle of its residents. These new amenities will become the social heart of Kingswood, providing spaces for residents to gather, relax, and engage in various activities.
A hub of natural and urban convenience
Living at Kingswood means enjoying the best of both worlds: the serene beauty of the Garden Route and the convenience of George’s urban amenities. The estate is perfectly positioned to offer easy access to pristine beaches, lush forests and majestic mountains, ensuring that residents are never far from the natural wonders that make the Garden Route such a sought-after destination.
