| One of the best golf courses
in South Africa. This championship course which
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 wine growing 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.
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 5) 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 (with greens, bunkers and practice tees),
a very well stocked pro shop and a club house
which provides excellent facilities like a function
hall, catering facilities as well as an exquisite
wine list. |
