GOLF at the Arabella Western Cape Hotel & Spa, Hermanus/Kleinmond SOUTH AFRICA

ARABELLA GOLF COURSE at the Western Cape Hotel & Spa:

Golf Digest award for best new golf course 1999 and no 2 in S.A. 2005. Five Star Service Award by Complete Golfer. Matkovich and Hayes design. The course is 6,095 meters in length and has a rating of 72. The course borders the largest natural lagoon in Southern Africa, and the 18th runs parallel to the lagoon. The clubhouse at the Western Cape Hotel & Spa is considered to be one of the most luxurious and modern in the country. At this stage selecting a signature hole is an almost impossible task - take your pick, there are so many possibilities, however the 17th par three rates as one of the all-time best holes and as one of the best par three's ever. When making a golf reservation, please advise tee off time, how many carts and caddies you require as these need to be pre-booked in order to be guaranteed. Note that we require every golfer to have an official handicap and membership cards must be brought on the day of play. It is a soft spike only course and the dress code for the clubhouse is golf wear or smart casual. The golf club reserves the right to join players if necessary.
