Western Cape

With its ideal Mediterranean climate and picturesque scenery, the Western Cape is a golfing enthusiast’s dream. The province showcases golf courses that are set in the midst of majestic mountains, along pristine beaches, through countryside vineyards and in the recesses of breathtaking valleys.

Among the most celebrated courses in the Western Cape are the Gary Player designed Erinvale Golf Course in Somerset West, the historic championship Royal Cape Golf Course in Wynberg, the Arabella Gold Course in Kleinmond and the exclusive 18 hole Steenberg Golf Estate in Constantia . Golfers visiting this region will not only be treated to numerous courses of championship status, but the Cape’s warm hospitality and visual appeal will ensure an entirely memorable stay.

Garden Route

This scenic coastal route, which features charming towns like Mossel Bay, George, Knysna and Plettenberg Bay, is a renowned tourist destination, and it is rapidly gaining a reputation for being a sought-after golfing destination as well. With golf courses like Pinnacle Point and Fancourt Country Club Estate situated in the region, this should come as no surprise.

Set on incredible coastal cliff-tops near Mossel Bay, the Pinnacle Point Golf Resort stretches over four hundred hectares and was named one of the world’s Top 10 Best New Courses for 2006, while the Fancourt Country Club Estate has been ranked among the best in South Africa time and time again. With golfing gems like these and others, a tour of South Africa would not be complete without a visit to the Garden Route.

Eastern Cape

Adorned by the warm Indian Ocean, dense green vegetation and blue skies for most of the year, the Eastern Cape extends a warm welcome to golfers from far and wide. A golfing tour around South Africa would not be complete without a visit to the province, which is home to firm golfing favourites like the East London Golf Club. Showcasing spectacular sea views and a challenging hilly terrain, it’s easy to see why the East London Golf Club has been named one of the Top 10 Courses in South Africa for more than a decade. Other popular local courses include Royal Port Alfred, Humewood and the Gary Player designed Bushman Sands.

Kwazulu Natal

Nicknamed South Africa’s ‘golf coast’ by the local tourism bureau, Kwazulu Natal is home to a wide variety of impressive golf courses. With its ideal sub tropical climate and lush plant life, this region presents all year round golfing opportunities for golfers of any handicap.

Having hosted the most South African Opens in the country, the remarkable Durban Country Club has been played by the likes of Gary Player, Bob Charles and Ernie Els and is a must-see on any golfing tour. Among numerous other golfing opportunities in the region are the highly esteemed Zimbali Golf Course, the tree-lined Selborne Golf Club and the links-type Prince’s Grant.

Gauteng

A golfer’s paradise on your doorstep – thirty six of the Top 100 South African golf courses are all within less than an hour’s drive from Sandton. With so many golfing opportunities and arguably the best golfing climate around, Gauteng is an ideal location for a dream golfing holiday.

Must-see golf courses in the region include the Royal Johannesburg and Kensington Golf Course, which is made up of two courses – an East Course and a West Course that are both equally as enjoyable to play. The plush Country Club Woodmead is another of South-Africa’s finest golfing facilities which can be found in Gauteng. Visitors to this region are not only treated to an abundance of immaculate golf courses but, thanks to the high altitude, the ball also travels further.
