Golf Courses

Top 3 Ranked Courses in SA:

• Leopard Creek

Leopard Creek Country Club, located in Malelane, Mpumalanga, South Africa, is a premier golfing destination renowned for its stunning design, exceptional conditioning, and unique setting adjacent to the Kruger National Park. Established in 1996 and designed by Gary Player, the course offers a blend of challenging play and breathtaking natural beauty. The course is a par 72, stretching approximately 6,600 meters (around 7,200 yards), with Kikuyu fairways and Champion G-12 ultradwarf Bermuda greens. Its strategic layout incorporates water hazards on eight holes and features dramatic elevation changes that enhance the overall golfing experience.

• The Links

The Links at Fancourt, located in George on South Africa’s Garden Route, is a premier golf destination renowned for its challenging design and stunning scenery. Designed by Gary Player, the course opened in 2000 and has since hosted prestigious tournaments, including the 2003 Presidents Cup, the 2005 South African Airways Open Championship, and the 2012 Volvo Golf Champions.

• Pearl Valley 

Pearl Valley Golf & Country Club, situated within the prestigious Val de Vie Estate in the Paarl–Franschhoek Valley, lies just 35 minutes from Cape Town. The course is surrounded by the imposing Simonsberg and Drakenstein mountain ranges, creating a breathtaking setting for one of South Africa’s most acclaimed golf destinations. Opened in 2003, this 18-hole, par-72 championship course was Jack Nicklaus’s second signature design in the country.

• Steenberg

Steenberg Golf Club is set on the historic Steenberg Estate in the Constantia Valley near Cape Town, offering a refined golfing experience amid natural beauty. Designed by Peter Matkovich with input from John Hayes, the 18-hole, par-72 championship course opened in 1996 and has since become one of South Africa’s most celebrated golf destinations. The course meanders through a striking landscape of vineyards, wetlands, pine forests, and parklands, with Table Mountain serving as a dramatic backdrop.

• Outeniqua

Outeniqua Golf Course, part of the prestigious Fancourt estate in George along South Africa’s scenic Garden Route, is a beautifully designed 18-hole parkland course that captures the essence of relaxed yet refined resort golf. Framed by the imposing Outeniqua Mountains, the course was designed by Gary Player and opened in the early 1990s as one of three signature layouts at Fancourt. While the Montagu and The Links courses at Fancourt are known for their championship-level difficulty, Outeniqua is considered the more forgiving and accessible of the trio ideal for mid to high handicap golfers or those seeking a more relaxed round without compromising on quality.

• Montagu (Fancourt)

Fancourt’s Montagu Course, the original of the estate’s three Gary Player-designed layouts, lies in the heart of George on South Africa’s Garden Route. Since opening in the early 1990s, it has earned a reputation as one of the country’s premier parkland courses, consistently praised for its immaculate conditioning, thoughtful design, and the dramatic mountain backdrop provided by the Outeniqua range. Though always strong in character, Montagu has evolved over the years through key upgrades including a notable redesign by David McLay Kidd in 2005 and further refinements in 2018 by Player himself. These enhancements improved the course’s playability and strategic depth, while preserving its classic feel.
