People enjoy more than just the act of whacking a ball towards the 18th hole. It’s the walks along the course, or perhaps a more sedate chug along in a golf cart, the peacefulness of the beautiful surroundings and the “thwack” of the balls. The gentlemanly congratulations on a good par and, of course, the drinks at the 18th hole!
It’s a totally worthwhile experience. A day on the golf course will open up a new window of learning.

Golf courses vary in price so call to get up to date information from any of the listed courses in the Peninsula.

South Africa prides itself on being one of the world’s leading golf destinations, a country where the game has a long tradition and one which has produced some of golf’s greatest champions, from Gary Player to Ernie Els. But what makes South Africa so special among all the competition? There are only about 200 18-hole courses in South Africa, which is really a drop in the ocean – but what we lack in quantity, we make up in quality and accessibility.

We have several truly world-class layouts, designed by the best names in the business, and built on some of the most dramatically scenic sites you will find anywhere. As a visitor you can play them all at a reasonable price, apart from a few exceptions. However, green fees are not as cheap as they used to be.

We have the weather and the climate so necessary for enjoying golf – lots of sunshine and warmth, without extremes of heat and cold, or annoying insects to plague you. Throughout the year you are virtually guaranteed a golfing holiday that won’t be ruined by inclement weather.

Visitors can enjoy the contrasting landscapes, delight in the ethnic flavors and enjoy world-class wine. South Africa presents a wide variety of golf courses with each course taking advantage of their surrounding natural beauty by blending into the existing landscape. tell me more>
