This journey is designed for first-time South Africa golf travellers who want iconic courses without long drives. Every golf course is chosen for heritage, playability, scenery, and proximity, ensuring minimal fatigue and maximum enjoyment. The routing flows naturally from city → vineyards → relaxed countryside.
DAY 1: ARRIVAL IN CAPE TOWN – SETTLING INTO THE MOTHER CITY
Arrive at Cape Town International Airport and transfer to your hotel near the V&A Waterfront or Atlantic Seaboard. This location is intentional: it reduces driving time for early golf rounds and keeps you close to dining, shopping, and scenic promenades.
The remainder of the day is left unstructured. Long-haul travellers benefit from light movement, fresh air, and rest before golf begins. Optional sunset stroll or casual dinner overlooking the harbour.
Overnight: Cape Town
DAY 2: ROYAL CAPE GOLF CLUB – HISTORY, STRATEGY & MOUNTAIN VIEWS
Why Royal Cape?
Royal Cape is South Africa’s oldest golf course, and it introduces you to the country’s golfing heritage. Its parkland layout, mature trees, and mountain backdrop make it both forgiving and strategic — ideal for easing into the trip.
Morning tee time ensures calm conditions.
Post-round, the afternoon is dedicated to Cape Town’s cultural highlights (Bo-Kaap, Company’s Garden, or Table Mountain if weather allows).
Overnight: Cape Town
DAY 3: STEENBERG GOLF CLUB – CHAMPIONSHIP GOLF MEETS WINE COUNTRY
Why Steenberg?
Steenberg offers a modern championship layout set within South Africa’s oldest wine region, Constantia. This pairing of elite golf and wine culture is uniquely Cape Town.
Morning golf is followed by a wine tasting at Steenberg Estate, allowing golfers to unwind without further travel. The afternoon is intentionally light, encouraging recovery before the Winelands leg.
Overnight: Cape Town
DAY 4: CAPE TOWN → FRANSCHHOEK – PEARL VALLEY GOLF ESTATE
Drive to the Cape Winelands (±1 hour).
Why Pearl Valley?
Pearl Valley is consistently ranked among South Africa’s top golf courses due to its immaculate conditioning, dramatic water features, and mountain-framed fairways. It represents the peak of Winelands golf.
The route avoids city traffic and introduces a slower, countryside pace. Evening at leisure in Franschhoek — a deliberate choice to combine golf with exceptional dining.
Overnight: Franschhoek
DAY 5: LEISURE, WINE & OPTIONAL GOLF
This day exists for balance. Guests may:
- Add an extra round
- Enjoy a spa treatment
- Take a guided wine experience
This flexibility is intentional — golf travel should never feel rushed.
Overnight: Franschhoek
DAY 6: DEPARTURE
Return to Cape Town International Airport.
