Play golf in the heart of the Cape Winelands


Stellenbosch Golf Club is located in the historic university town of Stellenbosch, 30 min drive from Cape Town. It’s in the heart of the Cape Wine Route and close to Franschhoek, Paarl and Somerset West.

Stellenbosch Golf Club has already celebrated its centenary, but it was only in 1953 that it grew from a 9-hole course into 18 holes. It has a championship layout that has hosted many prestigious tournaments in the past. Amongst others, the South African Open and South African Masters were hosted at this picturesque 18-hole layout. The 1999 SA Open at Stellenbosch Golf Club proved to be one of the toughest Opens in the last decade.


About the Course: The course makes for a lovely stroll, and it’s generally a pleasant layout for all skill levels. The par 3 seventh (131m) is the signature hole at Stellenbosch golf club, but it’s really holes 6,7 and 8 that stands out. The par 4 sixth plays at almost 400 metres to an elevated green( picture below), with the added twist of an approach that offers you the chance to fly it right over the corner of a vineyard. You then negotiate the downhill seventh before changing direction to tackle the par 5 eighth with it's intimidating tee shot, it’s semi-blind and played to a fairway sloping left towards yet another off-limits vineyard.

This is why Boschenmeer Estate is so popular!


Lifestyle Living combined with a unique 27 hole golf course is what make Boschenmeer Estate and Paarl Golf Club so popular! The stunning 27-hole Paarl Golf Course is situated in the picturesque valley on the outskirts of South Africa’s third-oldest town, Paarl.


The course, first laid out on the banks of the Berg River in the 1950s, has been redesigned by Danie Obermeyer and David Frost. David Frost, a Paarl native and still a prominent winemaker in the area, has brought local knowledge and experience gained on both the US and European professional golf tours in assisting in the design of the course.

Facilities include Pro Shop, PGA Professional Ben Fouchee, Driving range, Golf Academy, Golf Carts, Conference facilities, Banqueting, Locker rooms, Halfway house, Lounges and Bar.
Some holes meander along the Berg River while many are tree-lined lush green channels which present the golfer with a smooth mix of risk and reward. Water hazards are the most prominent challenge with the majority of holes having a water trap that needs careful consideration by any golfer.
