Golf Digest South Africa says -
San Lameer was the first of Peter Matkovich’s “modern” designs where he introduced a risk-and-reward strategy for golfers. The course incorporates numerous water hazards and narrow holes on a tropical site close to the ocean. It boasts a wonderful variety of challenging holes, and was the venue for many years for the annual Sanlam Cancer Challenge Finals. Also twice hosted the SA Masters, in 1996 (Wayne Westner) and 1997 (Mark McNulty).
