Stellenbosch
Golf Course
One of the best golf courses in South Africa. This championship
course which has hosted, among other tournaments, the
South African Masters and South African Open, will test
your golfing skills.
Stellenbosch lies in the centre of the fertile and
very scenic winegrowing area of the Cape, less than
an hour's drive out of Cape Town. With its numerous
diligently restored buildings in the Cape Dutch style
and its renowned university, it is one of the most attractive
travel destinations at the Cape. Just as rewarding is
a visit to the town's exclusive golf course situated
just out of town amid vineyards.
A championship course in a parkland setting surrounded
by mountains and vineyards. Scenic and in excellent condition,
Stellenbosch presents a fair challenge with some memorable
holes. The stroke index 1 hole does not give up par easily.
To reach this par four in two you need a long drive followed
by an approach over some out-of-bounds vineyards to an
elevated green.
The course is - compared to those in Cape Town and on
the Cape Peninsula - well protected from the wind. The
- relatively narrow - fairways are lined with trees. Hole
8 (par 4) requires for instance an absolutely straight
stroke in order for the ball not to land in vines or bushes.
Worth mentioning is the professional driving range
in Stellenbosch (with greens, bunkers and practice tees).
At the Club House one can find a good restaurant and
a very well stocked pro shop.
