Going on a South African Golf Holiday
As a golfing destination, South Africa is rated very highly by many golfers throughout the world. South Africa has over 450 golf courses, and a number of these golf courses are truly world class. Golf legends such as Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Greg Norman, Ernie Els and Annika Sorenstam have all designed South African golf courses. Because of the ideal climate that exists in South Africa, golf is a hugely popular sport, which is played all year round throughout the country and South African winters are comparable to summer in many European countries.
For the international tourist, a South African golf holiday is financially attractive. This is due to the favorable exchange rate of the South African Rand. Visitors can play world class golf courses under the spectacular African sun, and the green fees will be a fraction of what you would expect to pay in America or Europe. Add to this the cheaper accommodation rates, cheaper restaurants and cheaper travel, and one can see why South African golf holidays are gaining in popularity.

The variety of golf courses which are available in South Africa can make a South African golf holiday really special. Many awesome coastal golf courses provide the golfer with dramatic views of the ocean and a challenging round of golf when the wind blows. The bushveld courses offer the unique experience playing golf in the African bush, and the opportunity to see some South African wildlife during a round of golf.

There are 17 South African national parks, and also many private game reserves.
