Cape Winelands Golf Tours

Golf, wine and mountain scenery

The Cape Winelands combine excellent golf with vineyard landscapes, historic wine estates and some of South Africa’s best-known food and wine experiences. Courses around Stellenbosch, Paarl, Franschhoek, Somerset West and the Constantia Valley can easily be combined in one well-paced golf tour.

Golf in Cape Winelands

The Cape Winelands are within easy reach of Cape Town and offer a relaxed base for golfers who want more than time on the course. Pearl Valley is home to a Jack Nicklaus Signature course surrounded by the Simonsberg and Drakenstein mountains. De Zalze runs through a working wine estate near Stellenbosch, while Erinvale sits below the Helderberg Mountains. Paarl Golf Club at Boschenmeer Estate adds another rewarding round in the Paarl Valley, and Steenberg combines golf with the historic Constantia wine route. A morning round can be followed by a cellar tasting, an estate lunch or an afternoon exploring Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and Paarl. The region also works particularly well for couples and groups travelling with non-golfers.

Best time to play

October to April generally brings the warmest and driest weather for golf in the Cape Winelands. February and March fall within the grape-harvest period, when many wine estates are at their busiest. Spring, from September to November, offers mild temperatures, green landscapes and colourful gardens.
