South Africa is a golfers paradise with top class courses to challenge even the keenest player. Picture yourself teeing off in spectacular settings - overlooking the Indian Ocean or amongst wildlife.
The Garden Route is slowly becoming known as `the Algarve of South African golf’ and is home to Fancourt, which hosted the 2003 Presidents Cup. Cape Town offers superb golf courses, including the oldest course - the Royal Cape and the beautiful Erinvale course, while Sun City offers the Gary Player Course, which hosts the annual Million Dollar Golf Challenge. |
