Best Golf Tours Cape Town

By Khalied Hanslo


South Africa has a world renowned history with advocates such as Gary Player and Ernie Els who have represented South Africa at the highest levels. Both have played well to win major challenges and contests both at home and abroad. It is no surprise that they both honed their skills on the courses designed and maintained in their home country.

There are many other players of the same strength born and bred in South Africa that play international golf. Names such as Retief Goosen and Trevor Immelman too have show-cased their talent in most of the major competitions. All these players call South Africa their home and all of them have trained, practiced and polished their talents at home before going overseas.

Cape Town has been blessed with a plethora of world-class designed golf courses that have also been host to international tournaments. The Arabella Golf Club has hosted the annual Nelson Mandela Invitational charity golf tournament since 2003. Jack Nicklaus, Ernie Els and Retief Goosen have all played here to raise funds for the Nelson Mandela Children's Foundation.

These are not the only available courses to play on. A Gary Player designed golf course at Erinvale in Somerset West is believed to be one of the best courses in Cape Town. Situated at the foot of the Helderberg Mountains; the sights available are striking with False Bay and Hottentots Holland mountains noticeable from the course.

The southern suburbs have several courses which are accessible to play on. Cases of these are; the Royal Cape Golf Club, the oldest in the country providing gorgeous vistas and sights of Table Mountain and the woods beneath it. There is also Rondebosch Golf Course positioned in the picturesque suburb of the same name on the banks of the Black River with its huge variety of birdlife.

Cape Town extends its beauty from the mountains, beaches, forests and wildlife to the entertaining sporting arenas of its golf courses. There are many courses to choose from and a golfing holiday is very attractive to keen enthusiasts. The choices are reinforced by the phenomenal professional history established and the well maintained courses around the country.
