Trip Itinerary

Day 1 - 5 - Cape Town

 
Airport Transfer

Arrive at Cape Town International Airport and transfer to your hotel.

Bed & Breakfast

You will spend five nights in Cape Town on a bed and breakfast basis.

Sightseeing

Cape Town is home to a number of world-class golf courses and you will play three of them during your stay. Also enjoy some quality sightseeing on private tours with a local guide.

Golfing

Clovelly Country Club in the southern peninsula is best combined with a tour to Cape Point in the Cape Peninsula National Park and a visit to the penguins at Boulders beach.

Golfing

Erinvale Country Club is situated in the Winelands approximately one hour's drive from the city. The course hosted the 1996 World Cup and offers every golfer a challenge, as well as magnificent mountain and sea views. The afternoon will be spent sampling the vintage at the beautiful neighbouring Vergelegen Estate.

Golfing

Royal Cape Golf Course - the venue of numerous South African Opens - boasts the oldest club in South Africa.

Sightseeing

After an optional lunch at the clubhouse you will return to the city and Victoria & Alfred Waterfront for shopping and sightseeing.

Sightseeing

Non-golfing days in the "Mother City" can be filled in numerous ways - relax on one of the many beautiful beaches, join a ferry tour to the infamous Robben Island - South Africa's Alcatraz is best known as the place where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for almost two decades or ascend Table Mountain (on foot or by cable car - weather permitting).

Optional
Golfing

Or you may book optional extra rounds of golf at some of the city's other interesting courses such as Westlake which is a well-wooded course in a parklands setting, Milnerton which is Cape Town's only links course or Steenberg, a new exclusive course set in the Constantia winelands.

All-Inclusive Resort

Situated on the southern border of the Pilanesberg Game Reserve, approximately two hours drive from Johannesburg, Sun City is the major pleasure resort in the country. With its palm trees and man-made sea complete with waves and beaches, the resort springs from the arid surroundings like a lush oasis. Apart from the golf opportunities, there is a huge variety of leisure options, including the opportunity of a game drive or balloon safari in the Pilanesberg National Park. Spend the following three nights at Sun City on a bed and breakfast basis.

Golfing

Whilst at Sun City you may enjoy a round of golf at Gary Player Country Club as well as the Lost City Country Club. Gary Player Country Club is probably South Africa's most famous course and with good reason! A championship course of gigantic proportions, the Gary Player Country Club plays host to the Million Dollar Gold Classic. The Lost City Country Club on the other hand is a new desert-style course with some very interesting features, including live crocodiles at one of the waterholes!

The famous Kruger National Park stretches along the entire length of the club's eastern boundary. Wild game, including giraffe, zebra, warthog, impala and other antelope species are often seen on the course. The clubhouse itself, with its large trees, wide verandah and the cool ambience of traditional thatch, provides an oasis of leisure in the heat of the day.
