Erinvale Golf Club

Erinvale Estate Hotel & Spa is set against the lovely backdrop of the Helderberg and Hottentots Holland mountains, in a stunning location of the Helderberg Valley, where you can simply relax and enjoy a peaceful and memorable stay in beautiful surroundings, coupled with excellent cuisine and a caring and professional service.

The Erinvale Golf Club is a private club, where guests of the Erinvale Estate hotel play as members. Gary Player designed the 18 hole championship golf course and has fast become renowned throughout the golfing fraternity, both locally and abroad. Erinvale hosted the 1996 World Cup of Golf, where thirty two participating nations competed and found the course both a golfing challenge and visual delight. It currently host the annual SAA Open, showcasing the South African golfing talent.

This is one of the best and most beautiful golf courses in South Africa of two separate and contrasting nine holes. The front nine meanders through flat parkland terrain and the many houses on this part of the estate, while the back nine climb drastically up the mountain with views of the coastline from the top holes. There is a lot of water and some unusual pothole sand traps.

The signature hole is on the par-four 17th, a finishing hole that is a test of nerves for any golfer! Playing downhill from an elevated tee, this hole is long and narrow, with tall pines flanking one side and an out-of-bounds on the other.
