Cape Town Golf Holiday Guide
Cape Town is one of the world’s most beautiful cities, and is South Africa’s most popular tourist destination. With many world class golf courses to choose from, golfers worldwide have discovered that Cape Town is a bit of a golfers paradise. If you also include the many tourist attractions that Cape Town has to offer, then you get a golf holiday destination that is tough to match anywhere else. The favorable South African Rand exchange rate is also an attraction for tourists coming from Europe or North America.

This championship course is arguably the best course in the Western Cape, and with good reason. Arabella is situated right next to the Bot River lagoon in spectacular surroundings. This course has a selection of tee boxes to suit any level of golfer, and the course has hosted several South African opens. The Jack Nicklaus designed Pearl Valley Golf Course, Erinvale Golf Club, Stellenbosch Golf Club, De Zalze Golf Club and Paarl Golf Club are some of the recommended golf courses in the beautiful Cape Winelands area, which is near to Cape Town.
