Golf Paradise

George and the Garden Route have become a golf mecca on the continent.

George Golf Club, Colin’s personal favourite, is regularly rated in the top 10 in South Africa, and thanks to our excellent weather this park-lands course is playable year-round. Fancourt Hotel and Country Club Estate boasts three of the best courses in the country and was home to the President’s Cup 2003 and the first Women’s World Cup of Golf in February 2005.

Further afield you can experience everything from the wind-swept courses of Mossel Bay, including the world-famous Pinnacle Point, to the majestic views of Pezula and Simola in Knysna, and the dry, semi-desert conditions of Oudtshoorn. You can play a range of different climates and courses within an hour’s drive of us.

Our staff can arrange advance bookings at most courses, which are essential in the peak summer season from November to April.
