Scheduled Golf Courses

                                                                                                                ERINVALE GC - par 72, 6,725 yards - At the very heart of the Cape, amongst verdant green vineyards, lies the 260-hectare Golfing Estate Erinvale. Yet another, Gary Player designed course, Erinvale presents each golfer with breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and sublime beaches just minutes away. The holes also come complete with their fair share of water hazards, placing further emphasis on accuracy. The course is proud to have hosted the World Cup of Golf in 1997, bearing testament to its quality. WWG Grade: A-

ROYAL CAPE GC – par 72, 6,675 yards The grand old dame of the cape was first established in 1885, members of Royal Cape will testify that little has changed in over 100 years. Nine South African Open and eight South African Amateur championships have been staged at Royal Cape, a measure of the high esteem in which the course is held. Gary Player won the South African Open here in 1965 with a record 15?under?par score of 273. WWG Grade: A-

STELLENBOSCH GC – par 74, 6,890 yards On the outskirts of town on the road to Somerset West, along the well-known Cape Wine route, lies the Stellenbosch GC, one of the top course of the Cape region. This championship course offers beautiful views of the historic town of Stellenbosch, the surrounding vineyards and the mountains from each tee. Highlighted holes include, the 495 yard par- five 8th which is referred to as the “snakes and grapes” hole, slice here and your ball is in the snake infested bush, hook it and you are out of bounds left into the vineyards. This is the home course of US PGA golfer David Frost. WWG Grade: A-

SPARREBOSCH GC – par 72, 6271 yards Sparrebosch, the Classic Ocean 18, was opened for play officially on 5 August 2000. The breathtaking views combine with an amazing marriage between environmentally sensitive development and Mother Nature to create Southern Africa’s postcard to golf. The layout of this championship course was carefully planned to feature both ocean views (on all eighteen holes) as well as lagoon and mountain views (holes 6, 7 and 8). WWG Grade: A

FANCOURT LINKS– par 72, 6925 yards - The brilliant new links layout is the best golf course to be built in all of Africa in years, the course will play host to the 2003 Presidents Cup matches, a testament to its high standard and high praise since its inception in fall of 2001. Thousands of tons of earth were moved to create giant dunes and the bunkering is a fine as can be found, similar to the St. Andrews style of links golf. WWG Grade: A+

MONTAGU GC – par 72, 6,595 yards - Designed by Gary Player at the beautiful Fancourt Resort, the Montagu is noteworthy for both its scenic beauty as well as challenging design. The course captures the natural beauty of the Garden Route and its stunning surroundings with prodigious mountain ranges providing the back drop. The course is always in top condition and the kikuyu fairways and bent grass greens are possibly the best in South Africa. 1The course is consistently rated in the top five courses in Africa. WWG Grade: A

LOST CITY GC – par 72, 6,750 yards Gary Player firmly believes that he has managed to create one of the top courses in the world at the Lost City, with its desert style front nine and 'Out of Africa' back nine. 'For me, a great course is one you remember,' he says. 'If you go to Augusta National and play it just once, you will always remember each and every hole. And 1 think the same applies to the Lost City.' Certainly the par?three 13th at the Lost City is unforgettable. The green is the shape of the African continent, while three big bunkers are filled with different coloured sand to symbolise the diversity of the people of this country and continent. The view from the elevated tee is truly magnificent and a wide enclosure just left of the green contains more than 40 huge crocodiles and hundreds of golf balls, the legacy of pulled or hooked tee shots. Everywhere there are breathtaking views of the beautiful bushveld and mountainous terrain. WWG Grade: A

GARY PLAYER CC – par72, 7,640 yards The Gary Player Country Club course at Sun City has become known all over the world as the venue for the annual Million Dollar Challenge in December, when fans in their tens of thousands turn out to see the great golf. Most of the game's superstars graced the fairways of this magnificent bushveld course, carved out of an extinct volcano in the wild (largely unexplored) and wonderful (rich plant, animal and birdlife) Pilanesberg mountains, and surrounded by high ground on all sides. Since the inaugural Million Dollar Challenge in 1982, the Sun City course has consistently provided a superb, world-class test for the likes of Nick Price, Nick Faldo, David Frost, Bernhard Langer, Ernie Els and Steve Ballesteros. Towards the mid-1990s the spectacular layout was in such good condition that Langer (not a man to exaggerate) put it in the same class as Spain's Valderamma and America's Augusta National. Off the back markers the course measures among the longest courses in world golf. It is a par 72, but the rating is 76. WWG Grade: A+
