You eat at the Humewood Golf Club restaurant beside one of South Africa's few true links courses, where the wind off Algoa Bay shapes play. The course was laid out in 1931 by Colonel SV Hotchkin, who designed the fairways to work with the coastal easterlies and westerlies. The restaurant serves meals with views over these fairways, where golfers have played tournaments like the South African Open since the 1930s.

The clubhouse holds trophies and photographs from these tournaments, along with original course drawings found during renovations. From the upstairs bar you can see the full layout — wide fairways, deep bunkers cut to hold sand against the wind, and the coastal scrub that frames each hole. The par-three sixth hole, known as The Devil's Elbow, has a raised green with bunkers that seem carved into its edges.

After a round, golfers often sit on the balcony with drinks, looking out over Nelson Mandela Bay. The restaurant serves through the day, with the kitchen preparing meals for tournaments, weddings, and business events held in the function spaces. The course remains unfenced against the wind, which still moves as it did when Hotchkin first walked the land.
