Overview
Royal Cape. Pearl Valley. Steenberg in the vineyards.
Cape Town gives you a city that's among the world's best combined with golf courses in settings Europe simply cannot match. Royal Cape is the continent's most historic club. Pearl Valley backs up against the Paarl Mountain. Steenberg plays through a 300-year-old wine estate.
Who this is for
An extraordinary pairing of world-class golf with one of the world's best food and wine destinations. The Winelands extension — Franschhoek and Stellenbosch — is arguably better than the golf for non-golfers. Works for couples and mixed groups perfectly.

The Journey
Day by Day
Conditions
When to Go
Average temperature & rainfall — Western Cape
October to April is the South African summer — warm, dry, courses in peak condition. The Cape can receive strong winds, particularly in spring (September–November). February is arguably the most reliable month. July and August are winter — wet and cold but courses rarely close.
