Stellenbosch Golf
Course: Stellenbosch, Cape Winelands, South Africa: A
championship course in a parkland setting surrounded by mountains and
vineyards. Scenic and in excellent condition, Stellenbosch presents a
fair challenge with some memorable holes. The stroke index 1 hole does
not give up par easily. To reach this par four in two you need a long
drive followed by an approach over some out-of-bounds vineyards to an
elevated green.
Stellenbosch lies in the centre of the fertile and very scenic
winegrowing area of the Cape, less than an hour's drive out of Cape
Town. With its numerous diligently restored buildings in the Cape Dutch
style and its renowned university, it is one of the most attractive
travel destinations in the Cape.
Signature hole: Holes don't come much tighter than the uphill
par-five 14th with its green hidden among the trees around the corner of
a dogleg.
Course regulations: Appropriate golf attire is required.
Booking a tee off time is essential. The Course is reserved for
members on Saturdays, closed Good Friday and Christmas. Maximum
handicap required in competition: Ladies 30, Men 24.
