Erinvale Golf Course is without a doubt one of the best Golf Courses in South Africa. Surrounded by the majestic Helderberg and Hottentots Holland Mountains. It offers two very distinctly different nines. The first nine winds its way through narrow fairways flanked by exquisite properties, blending in perfectly with the landscape and environment. The second nine flows beautifully into the foot of the Helderberg’s and eventually offers the most rewarding and magnificent sweeping views over False Bay, surrounding vineyards, olive groves and Helderberg Nature Reserve.
The greens at Erinvale are generous and protected by well-placed bunkers and water features, offering a wide variety of pin placements. At Erinvale, Gary Player created a true Championship Course which is widely considered a Golfing Gem – that not only tests the best Golfers in the World but also provides great enjoyment to amateur Golfers of all skill levels.
