Ideally situated on Cape Town's Platinum Mile, internationally acclaimed, The Peninsula is home to discerning visitors from around the globe. The reason is simple. Guests enjoy the convenience of being minutes from the excitement and sparkle of Cape Town and close to the world-famous scenic wine routes, beautiful beaches and botanical gardens. More importantly our guests will enjoy superior service.
Day 2
Golf at Arabella. The Arabella golf course has a demanding and exceptional design that offers a challenging experience to all levels of golfers. It puts professional golfers to the test and at the same time is playable for the average hacker. The fairways are wide and spacious. Both fairways and greens are in an exceptionally good condition.
Choosing a signature hole is tough as the 9th, 17th and the 18th all run parallel to the lagoon. As a result, we have chosen the par-three 17th. This hole requires a precise tee shot. If you miss the green to the right, you might find yourself on the beach!
Day 3
A tour of the Cape Winelands . Explore the Westerns Cape's 3 most famous wine routes. A day tour to truly feast your senses enjoying some of the Cape's finest wines in breathtaking surroundings. The wine routes of Stellenbosch, Paarl and Franschhoek have become legendary for the excellent quality wines and brandies they produce. Traveling along these three wine routes where the fertile green valleys are surrounded by magnificent mountain ranges, we visit a minimum of 3 leading wine estates along the Wine Routes; all of them carefully selected for their scenic beauty, historical significance and superior wines.
Day 4
Golf at Erinvale. The Erinvale Golf Course in Somerset West was designed by Gary Player and is seen as one of the best courses of the Western Cape province of South Africa . In 1996 it hosted the IGA World Cup of Golf. The course is situated on the former Erinvale Farm at the foot of the Helderberg Mountains.
The views are spectacular. One can see beautiful the False Bay and the Hottentots Holland Mountain range in the east. The mountains protect the course from the wind. The first 9 holes lie in a valley and are despite the many bunkers and water hazards quite easy to play. Holes 10 to 18, however, stretch over mountainous terrain and provide considerable challenges. In parts the fairways ascend steeply.
Day 5
Today will be at your leisure. Cape Town has so much to offer.....You may want to take the cable car to the top of Table Mountain for awesome views of the Cape Peninsula . There are also ferries to and from Robin Island where the infamous Nelson Mandela spent 27 years. You may also just want to spend the day soaking up the sun on Clifton Beach . Today is entirely at your disposal.
Day 6
Golf at Pearl Valley. Nicklaus has stayed true to his design principles by working closely with nature and has provided a golf course that fits in with the environment. This fairly flat and largely uninterrupted terrain enabled Nicklaus the freedom to develop hole strategies making this a golf course the golfer has to think his/her way around. In its engineering and planning detail, the course is very rare. It is crossed by roads in only three places, and the drainage system allows play to continue just minutes after a severe cloudburst.
Days 7 - 14, The Garden Route
Mountains crowd close to a shoreline dotted with beaches and bays, and vividly colored wild flowers delight the eye. Between Heidelberg & Storms River , the Garden route runs parallel to a coastline featuring lakes, mountains, tall indigenous forests, amber colored rivers and golden beaches.

Day 12
We will be leaving in the morning for South Africa 's # 1 Golf Estate, namely Fancourt Country Club and Estate. Fancourt also happens to be home to the famous Ernie Els. You will enjoy a round of golf on the world class Links course.
The Links at Fancourt, host to the President's Cup in November 2003, presents a unique golfing experience in South Africa . This man-made links course has achieved balance and harmony in terms of length, hazards and shot value. While being a beautiful walking experience the Links is quite possibly the most difficult course in South Africa. Carry more balls than usual and be patient! The Links was never meant to be a low scoring, target golf course.
The signature hole of the Fancourt Links course is the par-four 15th! The hole doglegs left around a dam and your length off the tee will determine how much of the water you want to take on. A good tee shot will leave you about 150m to a green surrounded by water back, left and particularly close to the green on the right. The short par-four 14th (309 meters) also stands out as a classic links course. Negotiate the fairway bunkers and hit a pitch shot to the smallest green on the course framed by towering dunes and thick rough.
Day 13
Golf at George Golf Club. A Natural Woodland top ten course with lovely bird life and fynbos and quiet, stunning mountain views. It has immaculate manicuring and an easy walking course with a historic layout which has natural beauty. It has a year round golfing climate, excellent value for money.
