| Renowned
for its fabulous backdrop of Table Mountain the Milnerton course is
a challenge to even the most experienced golfer, and none more so
than when the prevailing south-easterly blows in the summer months.
Nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the RietVlei River, this lush
links-type layout is relatively flat with few trees, and with the
sea and a lagoon bordering most holes and ever-present views of Table
Mountain offers a truly unique golfing experience. |
Stellenbosch
Golf Club is situated in the historic, bustling student capital of
the winelands. Surrounded by vineyards and the Simonsberg and Helderberg
Mountains this pretty parkland course is a delight to play. Well protected
from the prevailing south-easterly winds by the huge trees lining
the fairways, Stellenbosch is an enjoyable and not to testing a layout
usually found in excellent condition. |

| Surrounded
by the picturesque Simonsberg and Drakenstein mountains approximately
an hour’s drive from Cape Town is another Jack Nicklaus designed
gem, Pearl Valley. Bordered by vineyards the flat and largely uninterrupted
terrain enabled Nicklaus the freedom to develop a championship layout
where strategy is more important than length off the tee. With water
hazards coming into play on just about every hole and 76 well placed
bunkers to contend with Pearl Valley will provide an exciting challenge
to golfers of all ability’s. |
Close to False
Bay and one of the oldest courses in the Cape region Westlake enjoys
stunning mountain and forest views from almost every hole. The fairways
are wide and provided you stay out of trouble off the tee Westlake
should be a low scoring round! This user-friendly design is a course
that everyone can enjoy whatever your playing ability. |
