\n\"LEOPARD
\nLocated on the edge of the renowned Kruger National Park, many believe it is the best golf course in South Africa<\/a><\/em>. Sightings of Giraffes, Crocodiles, Antelopes, Hippos and Elephants are all too common during a round of golf, making it a truly unique golfing experience.\u00a0Tee times for visitors are limited and usually arranged through specific lodges catering to the Kruger National Park.<\/p>\n

Fancourt Links, George, Western\u00a0Cape<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"FANCOURT
\nThe town of George on the Western Cape serves as the perfect base to explore some of the best golf courses in South Africa. If you stay at the Fancourt resort, you can treat yourself to a game at the Fancourt Links, a truly challenging and spectacular course. Mind you, that\u2019s not the only golf you get if you stay at the Fancourt \u2013 The Montagu<\/em><\/strong> and Outeniqua <\/em><\/strong>golf courses that are part of the same resort feature right up in the list of South Africa\u2019s top golf courses.<\/p>\n

Pinnacle Point Golf Club, Mossel Bay<\/em><\/strong><\/span>
\n\"PINNACLE

Arabella Golf Club, Near Cape Town<\/em><\/strong><\/span>
\n\"ARABELLA
\nOn the Western Cape about an hour and fifteen drive from Cape Town, the golf course of Arabella just seems to belong in the natural setting of the Bot River Lagoon. An exceptional layout,\u00a0always well maintained and with some thrilling holes, that are adorned by magnificent backdrops make it a must play in South Africa<\/p>\n

Pearl Valley Golf Course, Near Cape Town<\/em><\/strong><\/span>
\n\"PEARL
\nAn hour\u2019s drive out of Cape Town in the Cape Winelands, this is classic Jack Nicklaus course, built mostly on level land. The interesting course combination of 8 par 3s and 8 par 5s sets up nicely for potentially low scores, but the wind through the beautiful Franschhoek valley could keep you honest.<\/p>\n
