Day-by-Day Itinerary

Day 1

Arrival in Cape Town – Settling into the Mother City

The Bay Hotel

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.

Breakfast Airport pickup, hotel transfer, accommodation Sunset cruise at V&A Waterfront

Day 2

Royal Cape Golf Club – History, Strategy & Mountain Views

The Bay Hotel

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.

Breakfast Breakfast, green fee at Royal Cape, shared cart, hotel transfer Table Mountain cableway (weather permitting)

Day 3

Steenberg Golf Club – Championship Golf meets Wine Country

Steenberg Hotel

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.

Breakfast Breakfast, green fee at Steenberg, shared cart, wine tasting Spa treatment at Steenberg

Day 4

Cape Town to Franschhoek – Pearl Valley Golf Estate

Le Petit Manoir

It represents the peak of Winelands golf. The route avoids city traffic and introduces a slower, countryside pace.
