How can I find luxury golf holidays in South Africa?

South Africa has so much to offer as a Golf destination with over 500 quality courses. The courses are of the highest quality, well presented and fully equipped with the bonus of having stunning surroundings and fantastic scenery. Visitors always receive a warm South African welcome, while the prices for golf and accommodation packages are incredibly competitive.

Experience the best of what a golf holiday to South Africa can provide. Our travel experts can provide assistance in planning your perfect trip. A special visit to Leopard Creek or Pinnacle Point; Kruger game reserve safaris, wine tasting in Stellenbosch or a trip to Johannesburg. Or for those looking for an even more relaxing way to travel we can also provide details on the amazing Rovos Rail.

How Many Golf Courses Are There in South Africa?

This stunning county has world-class golf courses, with diverse conditions from rugged south coasts to the north’s open plains. There are over 450 courses in this remarkable country.

When is the Best Time to Visit South Africa to Play Golf?

South Africa is based in the Southern Hemisphere and has the opposite seasons to the UK. Therefore it makes perfect for winter golf holidays. However, we recommend visiting between November and March when conditions are ideal for playing golf.

How Much Do South Africa Golf Holidays Cost?

This depends on where you travel and which time of year you visit. Generally, the South African golf courses are fantastic for the money. However, if you are looking for bucket-list golf in luxurious resorts like Fancourt, you will need a higher budget.

Our expert team can help tailor-make your golf trip to South Africa within budget. There are many “moving parts,” such as flight options, tee times, and early booking discounts.

Where are the Best Golf Courses in South Africa?

Why not start in the colourful region of Cape Town and the Winelands of Stellenbosch, with a backdrop to Table Mountain? The superb Milnerton golf course is a sight to be experienced. However, more regular visitors will make the trip year after year to the Garden Route gem of Fancourt Links, one most refined finest sets amongst the Outeniqua mountains. Here are a few ideas for you to decide from:

Arabella Golf Resort (Cape Overberg) Kleinmond Western Cape

Combination of Links & Parkland. (18 hole, par 72, 6,300m)

Sitting proudly amongst the Kogelberg mountains and overlooking the Bot Rivier Lagoon is the outstanding golf resort of Arabella. Just 25 km from Hermanus Golf, this golf complex is first class and voted amongst the top 10 courses in South Africa.

The immaculate Kikuyu grass fairways lend themselves to golfers of all abilities. The fairways may be inviting. However, there are bunkers and water hazards strategically placed to remind the golfer that the course is in charge and will not be overwhelmed, whoever you may be. Lee Westwood, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player and Ernie Els, to name a few, have tried to tame the course and failed.

Check out the 18th hole as it has a reputation throughout South Africa, and the par-five 8th hole is regarded as one of the most beautiful in the country. The resort has all the facilities you would expect from a top golfing venue. There is also plenty of suitable accommodation available in Kleinmond.

Fancourt Golf Estate (Garden Route) George.

Combination of Four courses. Three Parkland and One Links. (All championship 18 hole 72 par)

This is South Africa’s most prestigious golf resort, with the Black Knight (Gary Player) designing and working on all courses. It boasts a luxury 5-star hotel and four quality championship courses, with three courses reserved for Hotel guests. They are the “Montagu”, “Outeniqua”, and the famous “Links”, which Gary Player designed to emulate a typical Scottish links course.

The links have hosted some prestigious golf tournaments over the years. In 2003 it held the Presidents Cup, in 2005 the South African Open, and in 2012 The Volvo Golf Champions European Tour. These three courses are stunning, with some great holes and fairways and spectacular features. If you are looking for a stress-free round of golf, then the fourth course at Fancourt could be a perfect choice. The “Bramble Hill” course is open to the public. Therefore, you are not required to be a hotel resident to play it.

The course is 18 holes and challenging even to the most proficient golfers. There are similarities between the Bramble Hill Course and the “Links”. They both have undulating fairways, raised greens, and the mandatory multitude of difficult hazards. Whichever course is played at the resort, you are guaranteed a round of golf to remember. Golf holidays in South Africa do not come better than this.

Sun City Resort (North West Province) Sun City.

Parkland Courses

Two courses at Sun City. “Lost City” & “Gary Player Country Club” (both 18 holes 72 par)

At the Sun City Resort, the Golf courses are designed by Gary Player and are part of the Sun City Complex, which is highly recommended for South African golf holidays. The “Gary Player Country Club” was built in an extinct volcanic crater and is regarded as one of the world’s longest courses.

It was recently voted South Africa’s best golf course and is home to the “Million Dollar Challenge” sponsored by Nedbank, which competes with the best players globally. The course is undoubtedly challenging with many water features, with the most exciting hole being the spectacular 9th hole, the par-five island hole: a long, challenging course and a challenge for all.

The “Lost City” course should also be considered one of the best in the world. The course has spectacular views with many holes containing difficult water hazards built on rocky desert terrain. The course includes 28,000 square meters of water features, so caution should be taken when playing the 13th hole. This course will test all golfers. However, the experience gained will live in my memory for a long time.

Sun City is the place to go if you want a mixture of family holidays and golf. The complex has casinos, cinemas, Waterworld, variety shows, sports facilities, hotels, and restaurants. In addition, there is a game reserve nearby Pilanesberg, which allows booking a safari tour to observe the enchanting wildlife and surroundings. Contact our helpful team for advice on sun city golf packages.

Hermanus Golf Resort (Cape Overberg) Western Cape

Parkland Course (27 holes, various distances, three courses)

Situated 120 Km west of Cape Town lies the small distinctive fishing village of Hermanus, home to the Whales who return annually (July – December) when it is calving season. It will surely impress if you time your visit to coincide with this event. However, the Whales are not the only thing that will impress you in the quaint fishing village.

It is home to a superb golfing facility, which has been improved by the renowned golf course architect Peter Matkovich who has added nine holes. The 27 holes, played as three separate courses, are breathtaking and challenge professional, mid-handicap, and high handicap players.

The greens are always in perfect condition, with the fairways giving you an adrenalin rush as you anticipate your next stroke. So throw into this swirling wind, and understand how this course delivers an enjoyable yet fantastic challenge to golfers of all standards. Club facilities are superb with an elegant bar, restaurant, halfway house, locker rooms with full facilities, pro-shop with practice facilities, golf buggy hire, trolley and club hire.

To further enhance your South African golfing experience, graded caddies can also assist you with their local knowledge of the courses. In addition, there are many top-class accommodation facilities close by to take your golfing trip to the next level.
