The Boschenmeer Golf and Country Estate in Paarl near Cape Town with its David Frost signature golf course, provides excellent golfing opportunities. It is the only 27-hole golf course in the Western province, and the first David Frost signature golf course in South Africa.

Tee up to play on the magnificent David Frost signature golf course which is the first 27-hole golf course layout in the Western Cape of South Africa. From the Boschenmeer golf course in Paarl, beautiful views of the the majestic Paarl Franschhoek mountain range can be enjoyed.  Mature trees, artfully conceived water features, and the scenic Berg River complement the challenging game of golf on this course. 

Boschenmeer blends the experience of natural beauty with playability in a way that is set to achieve world renown. The golf course designer David Frost has created a golf course in the Cape Wineland of true championship standard. At the same time he has achieved a first class golfing experience that will both challenge the low handicap and scratch golfer, yet not be too daunting for the less experienced golfer. The 27-hole golf course layout lends itself to championship play, with more simultaneous rounds possible. 

Pro-golfer David Frost grew up in the Paarl and Franschhoek region of South Africa and has become an integral part of the Paarl Golf Club, where he first played as a school member. This top professional golfer has brought his years of skill, knowledge and international experience of playing various golf courses, and incorporated his knowledge with the golf course design team to create this magnificent 27-hole golf course which consists of the "Berg River Nine" (1-9), the "Paarl Nine" (10-18), and the new "Boschenmeer Nine" (19-27).

Boschenmeer also offers a high-tech golf academy and driving range, as well as a state-of-the-art club house. Other estate facilities include a swimming pool, floodlit tennis courts, and playroom for children.

Pearl Valley Golf Course

Pearl Valley Golf Course

Pearl Valley Golf Course at the Pearl Valley Golf Estate, Paarl / Cape Winelands (South Africa)
 
The masterplan of the scenic Pearl Valley Golf Course was shaped by the vision of golf legend Jack Nicklaus and his unique touch is evident throughout the course at the beauitful Pearl Valley Golf Estates near Paarl in South Africa's Cape Winelands.  Jack Nicklaus, who was named ‘the most influential man in golf’ in a prominent international golf magazine, has used his wealth of knowledge and experience in the game to develop a truly stunning golf course at the Pearl Valley Golf Estates in South Africa.
 
Officially opened at the beginning of November, 2003 by Nicklaus and South African great, Gary Player, Pearl Valley Golf Estates was named ‘best new golf course of the year’ by Golf Digest magazine in 2005 and is currently ranked the ‘5th best course in South Africa’ and 2nd best conditioned by Golf Digest.

Traversed by roads in only three places, with a state-of-the-art drainage system in place that allows play to continue just minutes after a severe down pour, the Pearl Valley golf course is truly in a league of its own.To meet the ‘Golden Bear’s’ uncompromising standards of golf course design and aesthetic beauty, a combination of the deep, lush green on the fairways and greens, together with the brilliant white river sand lining the 81 bunkers was carefully planned to make Pearl Valley Golf Estates the most visually spectacular golf course in the country and arguably the world.
 
The total length of the course off the championship tees is 6749 metres, whereas the members’ length ranges from 5878 from the blue club tees with senior/ladies championship tees at 5586.  The ladies course spans 4706 meters. Bunkers on Nicklaus’s signature courses are renowned for being shallow, long and relatively undaunting.Every hole is played against the spectacular backdrop of the mountains surrounding the estate and all are challenging due to the startegically set bunkers and fast greens.
 
The prevailing winds throughout the area have also been taken into consideration with the course design; the winter being northwesterly and the summer wind from a southeasterly direction. All par 3s and par 5s play in different directions, ensuring that the same conditions are seldom experienced during a round.The 13th hole, par 3, is the ‘Signature’ hole of the course and perhaps the most scenic.
 
The water cuts from the right and a greenside bunker awaits the cautious tee shot. This hole tests both your ball striking and your nerve. Hole 4 is also challenging with no room for error as you need to cross the creek three times on route to the green. This par 5 is listed as one of the best par 5’s in South Africa, a real ‘risk and reward’ classic.

De Zalze Golf Course

De Zalze Golf Course

De Zalze Winelands Golf Estate, Stellenbosch (Cape Winelands, South Africa)

The name ‘De Zalze’ originates from the early wine farmers who produced wines on the three adjoining farms, namely Kleine Zalze, Groote Zalze and De Vleie, in the Cape Winelands region of South Africa. The historical buildings on the De Zalze Winelands Golf Estate date back to 1838.

De Zalze Golf Course opened in November 2000 under the name Spier Country Club. It was only in December 2003 with the opening of the new clubhouse that it changed its name to be De Zalze Golf Club, in line with the De Zalze Winelands Golf Estate development. Spier, together with Kleine Zalze, have redesigned the estate to make it one of the most sought after golf real estate properties in the Cape Winelands and South Africa.

De Zalze offers a fine combination of parkland holes, its main defences being the water features on several of the holes. The oak-lined Blaauwklippen River winds its way through the golf estate and comes into play at various intervals.
 
Famous golf course architect, Peter Matkovich, designed the De Zalze Golf Course in Stellenbosch, South Africa.  Since the opening in 2000, the club was quick to reap rewards. De Zalze Golf Course was selected to host the 2006 World Amateur Team Championships, moved from 44th to 24th in the latest Golf Digest Top 100 Courses, was recently placed 13th in the Top 30 Best Conditioned courses and De Zalze also received a service-orientated “Five-Star Golf Experience” Award, managed by Compleat Golfer, joining only 14 other courses out of over 450 courses in South Africa to achieve this honour.
