Arabella Golf Club:
Located in Kleinmond (just outside of
Hermanus) in the Western Cape. The theme is balance. Challenging
enough to bring you back for more, enjoyable enough to make you not want
to leave. The design challenge was headed by the renowned architect Peter
Matkovich. His undoubted success has resulted in a course that complements
the environment without disappointing the golfer, whether expert or
amateur.
Awards: Voted the number two golf course in South Africa and the
top golf course in the Western Cape, the Arabella Golf Club - home to the
Nelson Mandela Invitational - stretches through rolling fairways,
deceptive bunkers and challenging water traps.
Course Details: The course is 6381 metres in length and has a
SAGU rating of 72. It borders the largest natural lagoon in Southern
Africa, and the 9th, 17th and 18th run parallel to the lagoon. Choosing a
signature hole proves to be an extremely difficult task as all of the
holes are well designed with spectacular views. Peter Matkovich, who
designed the Arabella Golf course, ensured that the 18 holes encompass the
Mountain backdrops, lagoon frontage and forests on the estate near
Kleinmond. These provide for links, parkland and coastal aspects, while
the individual fairways provide natural corridors as vantage points to
savour nature’s true beauty.
Facilities: Bar; Caddies graded; Carts for hire; Conference
facilites; Gym; Halfway House; Locker Facilities; Pool and Practice Area.
