A balanced introduction to the Cape — enough golf for the golfer, enough South Africa for everyone travelling.

The itinerary

Seven nights.
A little bit of everything.

This is how we would introduce someone to the Cape for the first time.

The itinerary has structure, but not every hour is filled. There is time for golf, wine, coastlines, long lunches, Cape Town and simply enjoying where you are.

  1. 01Day one · Cape Town

    Arrive. Settle in. Take it in.

    Your first day in South Africa should feel easy. Arrive in Cape Town, settle into your accommodation and take some time to experience the city without rushing into a packed itinerary. A sunset drink and a good first dinner is enough.

    • Private arrival transfer
    • Cape Town check-in
    • Free afternoon
    • Sunset drink
    • Relaxed dinner

  2. 02Day two · Round one

    Steenberg.

    Your first South African round in the Constantia Valley.

    Start the golf among vineyards and mountains. Steenberg offers a beautiful introduction to Cape golf and fits naturally into a day in the Constantia Valley.

  3. 03Day three · No tee time

    The road around the Cape.

    Sometimes the best day doesn’t need a tee time.

    Spend the day following one of the Cape’s great coastal routes. Drive beneath dramatic cliffs, reach the southern Cape Peninsula and meet the African penguins at Boulders Beach before returning to Cape Town.

    See the city from a different angle.

    A slower day, on your terms.

    Take the cableway up Table Mountain before the wind picks up. Walk through the colourful streets of Bo-Kaap. Stop for a long lunch, explore the Waterfront, visit a gallery or simply leave part of the afternoon open.

  5. 05Day five · Into the Winelands · Round two

    From the city to the vineyards.

    Leave Cape Town behind and watch the journey change. The mountains move closer. Vineyards replace city streets. The pace slows down.

    Golf beneath the Stellenbosch Mountains.

    De Zalze places you right in the heart of the Winelands — golf first, followed by one of the Cape’s great food-and-wine regions.

Golf that belongs
