In particular, the Western Cape has a wide variety of top courses to
offer all set in beautiful surroundings. With a variety of excellent
courses within Cape Town and its surrounds, Cape Town is the ideal
base from which to enjoy a golfing holiday. Mountain views, ocean
views and rolling vineyards are some of the surroundings to be
enjoyed on a selection of superb courses - many of which have been
designed by top international players. Accommodation is available
at a variety of hotels, guesthouses and B&B's throughout Cape Town -
while some courses offer their own hotel or lodge. Just an hour away
from Cape Town, the winelands regions of Stellenbosch and Paarl are
also home to some excellent courses including Erinvale and Spier.

four days, or more, to enjoy the golf and the many other attractions
of the Garden Route region. It's highly advisable to book your round
