Erinvale Golf Estate: (Lourensford Road, Somerset West). Erinvale Golf Club, nestled at the foothills of the Helderberg and Hottentot Holland mountains in Somerset West near Cape Town is one of South Africa’s great golfing challenges. Situated in the beautiful wine region, Erinvale’s breathtaking mountain and sea views are an integral part of this unforgettable golfing experience.

Golf Course: Host of the 1996 World Cup of Golf in which thirty two participating nations competed. This is an estate course of two distinctly different nines. The front nine is on the flat, winding between the many houses in this part of the estate, while the back nine climbs up the lower slopes of the magnificent Helderberg mountain, with breathtaking views of the coastline from the top holes.

Designed by Gary Player Erinvale’s beautifully manicured par 72 championship course boasts some of the country’s most challenging and spectacular holes. Erinvale’s demanding front nine meanders through park-like terrain, whilst the back nine provide a contrasting challenge winding  its way through the foothills of the mountains with panoramic views of False Bay.

The greens at Erinvale are huge and well-shaped allowing for several different pin placements. A feature of the layout is that different coloured flags tell you the position of the pin, blue flags at the back, white in the middle and red at the front. Erinvale is also a real estate development where homes blend well into the landscape.

Signature Hole: Your biggest test of nerve comes on the par-four 17th hole, a great finishing hole that swoops downhill. You play from an elevated tee, with tall pines flanking one side of the fairway, and an out-of-bounds fence the other side.

Facilities: Open all year; Thursdays and on weekends for members only; in December und January only for guests of the Erinvale Hotel.

Gary Player has this to say about the course: "As you play through the back nine holes, you climb dramatically up the mountain to enjoy the spectacular view. The sea in the distance and the many wineries for which the Cape is famous are further attractions ... I think this will be one of the best golf courses in South Africa ."
