This vibrant city is surrounded by superb golf courses and there’s plenty to visit when you can tear yourself away from the fairways. From Table Mountain to Stellenbosch you will be enthralled by everything you see.

South Africa is so much more than a winter sun golf destination. Around Durban and KwaZulu-Natal you will find amazing golf courses in superb condition for golf all year round. Stay on the coast at sparkling Umhlanga, just outside the city on the Indian Ocean coast or enjoy the lively city life. Whatever you choose the impressive selection of golf courses will keep you busy, and happy, day after day.
Eastern Cape
The Eastern Cape of South Africa is less developed than the Western Cape so a fantastic opportunity to immerse yourself in the raw nature of this beautiful country. As well as superb golf around St Francis Bay there are excellent nature reserves with luxury lodges for safaris with plenty of opportunities to see the Big Five.
Southern Cape
Head off on a golf tour of South Africa’s Garden Route. It’s 300 kilometres of good roads with beaches on one side and tree-filled mountains and landscape on the other. In the water you may spot sharks, whales and seals. Stay in beautiful coastal towns, such as George and Knysna, playing excellent golf courses and enjoying great seafood restaurants.
