Our take

Holiday golf is what Hermanus does, three immaculate loops of nine on easy walking ground where rocky water hazards and imposing trees provide the interest rather than brute length.

• Higher handicapsThree loops of nine, all flat and kept immaculate the year round, and while the rocky water hazards will claim the odd ball, nothing here is set up to embarrass anyone.
• SocietiesTwenty-seven holes lets a group play morning and afternoon without repeating a nine, the flat walking suits every age in the party, and the clubhouse restaurant takes care of the prize-giving.
• CouplesUnder two hours from Cape Town in one of the Western Cape's best-loved coastal towns, so a morning round slots neatly into a week that is not only about golf.
