Golf Courses
Milnerton GC
18-hole / 6113m / Par 72
This seaside course is situated in a leafy suburb just 10 minutes north of Cape Town. Nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the RietVlei River, this lush links-type course is relatively flat with few trees. But with the sea and the lagoon bordering most holes, and the 7 beautiful water holes waiting to claim the wayward shot, it offers a truly unique golfing experience!
Erinvale GC
18 holes / 6440m / Par 72
Opened in 1995 and designed by Gary Player, is without doubt one of the best golf courses in South Africa. Surrounded by the majestic Helderberg and Hottentots Holland Mountains, it offers two very distinctly different nines. The first nine winds its way through narrow fairways flanked by exquisite properties, blending in perfectly with eh landscape and environment. The second nine flows beautifully into the foot of the Helderberg’s and eventually offers amazing views over False Bay, surrounding vineyards, olive groves and Helderberg Nature Reserve.
De Zalze Golf Estate
18 Holes / 6369m / Par 72
Set in a winelands golf estate, the course is the perfect test for all golfers, with each tee positions offering its own challenges. The course is a mix of parkland holes, as well as the Oak tree lined Blaauwklippen river which winds its way though the golf estate and comes into play on various holes. After your round enjoy a glass or two of the many local wines available.
Montuga at Fancourt
18 holes / 6714m / Par 72
Montagu is a much celebrated parkland course and has been ranked as the number-one golf course in South Africa in the past. It has recently undergone major renovations with several holes being redesigned and has two completely new holes - the 1st and the 9th.
Pinnacle Point GC
18 holes / 6460m / Par 72
Overlooking the Indian Ocean near Mossel Bay, Pinnacle Point is one of the most unique and scenic golf courses in the world, with all 18 holes designed to fit the contours of the land. The course inspires the golfers to play this challenging layout with a level of respect due to its dramatic views and breathtaking terrain. The layout is characterised by seven majestic holes that line the Indian Ocean rock cliffs, four of which are played over ocean and cliff.
Outenque at Fancourt
18 holes / 6312m / Par 72
Outeniqua is one of two majestic 18-hole Parkland layouts at Fancourt. Designed by legendary Grand Slam golfer Gary Player, it is similar in character to its sibling Montagu, and its challenging design and fine conditioning will ensure an excellent test for all levels of golfers. As with all courses at Fancourt, there are a variety of tees from which to choose to play, ensuring that golfers are unlikely to ever feel overpowered by the course.
