Cape Town Golf Courses
The Western Cape boasts natural vistas that are quite irresistible to travellers. Its landscapes are defined by high mountain ranges that seem to go on forever, deep gorges and valleys richly imbued with dense foliage, pristine coastlines that are met by the blue of the ocean, and mile after gorgeous mile of vineyards. These produce some of the finest wines in the world, and certainly set the Cape apart from myriads of international destinations.
Golfing estates are, by their very nature, pretty escapes from city life, often showing off the beauty of the natural environment. This makes the marriage between golf and the Cape a perfect combination. Because the Western Cape is such an important international destination (whether for recreation or commerce), it attracts a huge variety of people. Its golf courses are, as a result, just as varied as the people that visit them. There are courses that are fun and easy; particularly well suited to those that are just beginning, or that do not get much time in which to practice. Then, there are fabulously technical courses that demand their players to be up for a challenge.
Many of the golf courses have fabulous facilities, which cater to local and international players and visitors. Because the Western Cape welcomes so many visitors to its borders every year, it is well equipped to accommodate them. Therefore, a lot of the greens are within easy access of guesthouses, hotels, lodges or B&B's.
