For an American golfer, South Africa is the ultimate two-for-one: world-class golf at a fraction of US resort prices, and a Big Five safari in the same trip. The catch is the planning — flights, courses, transfers, a country you don’t know. The answer is a fully-hosted tour, where a UK specialist arranges every detail and travels with you.
Why hosted, not DIY
A hosted tour removes every unknown: a fixed itinerary, a small group, a host who handles the tee times, the transfers, the dinners and the safari. You fly in and play golf. It is the done-for-you way to tick off a bucket-list destination that feels a long way from home.
What the trip looks like
Ten days through the Western Cape and Garden Route: championship courses, five-star hotels, Cape Town and the Winelands, finishing with a safari. Departures are small and fixed-date, so they fill up.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a golf holiday in South Africa cost?
Tailor-made golf breaks in South Africa start from £125 per person, including your hotel, green fees and airport transfers. Every package is built around your group, dates and handicaps.
Do you arrange flights to South Africa?
Flights can be added as an ATOL-protected option, or you book your own and we handle everything on the ground — private transfers, tee times and buggies.
Is my money protected?
Yes. Every booking is financially protected through Protected Trust Services (PTS) — your money is held safely in trust until you have travelled. Flight-inclusive trips are also ATOL protected.
Can I tailor the trip?
Always. We don’t sell off-the-shelf packages — every South Africa break is built personally around your group, your preferred courses and your dates.
