Golf in South Africa

One of the world's great golf destinations — Cape Town, the Winelands, the Garden Route, and beyond. Custom itineraries built around your tee times

Golf courses in South Africa are amongst the top golf courses in the world.

South Africa is one of the world's great golf destinations — championship courses, dramatic landscapes, and year-round playing conditions. We have over 500 courses in the country. We design golf-focused trips that range from a single round at Steenberg with the family along for the morning, to two-week tours combining the best of Cape Town, the Winelands, the Garden Route, and the bushveld.

About golf holidays in South Africa

Why golf in South Africa

  • More than 500 courses across the country
  • Year-round playing conditions — peak Northern Hemisphere winter is peak SA golf season
  • Designed by world-class architects: Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, Ernie Els
  • Often combined with safari, wine, or coastal travel in the same trip
  • Czech-speaking guide travelling with you, handling logistics

How we plan it

We build golf trips around the kind of trip you actually want, not a fixed itinerary.

For a Cape Town golfing weekend, we might combine Steenberg, Clovelly, and Pearl Valley over three days, with vineyard lunches between rounds.

For a week or longer, the natural extension is to add the Garden Route — Fancourt is widely considered the country's finest resort — and Arabella near Hermanus, regularly ranked among the top courses in Africa.

For a bucket-list trip, we add the Gary Player Country Club at Sun City — designed by Gary Player himself, host of the Nedbank Golf Challenge.

Golf courses we reccommend

Cape Town & Winelands

Steenberg Golf Club

A peaceful course in the Constantia winelands, with mountain views and a vineyard restaurant on the property. Easy to combine with a wine-tasting afternoon.

Pearl Valley

Jack Nicklaus Signature Course in the Winelands, regularly ranked among South Africa's top five. Dramatic mountain backdrop, immaculate condition.

Arabella Golf Club

An hour east of Cape Town near Hermanus, often listed among Africa's top courses. Fynbos, lagoon, and views across Walker Bay.

Clovelly Country Club

A more relaxed Cape Town round, tucked between Fish Hoek and Kalk Bay. Friendly clubhouse and good value.


Beyond Cape Town

Fancourt (Garden Route)

Three courses including The Links, widely considered the finest in South Africa. Worth the trip in itself.

Gary Player Country Club (Sun City)

Designed by Gary Player. Hosts the Nedbank Golf Challenge. Long, demanding, iconic

Pinnacle Point (Mossel Bay)

A clifftop course built into the headland above the Indian Ocean, with several holes playing directly along the cliff edge.

  • Door-to-door transport from your hotel and Czech-speaking guide included on Cape Town rounds; multi-day trips include guided travel between courses
