Best Golf Courses in South Africa to Play for 2026/2027

If you’re looking for a golf trip that you’ll be talking about for years, you should seriously consider South Africa. It’s one of those rare places where your round of golf might have majestic mountains on one side and long, sandy beaches on the other.

Forget the usual golf trip. Here, you might find yourself waiting for a herd of antelope to cross the fairway before you take your shot, with a soundtrack of birds you’ve never heard before. You’ve probably heard of the big-name courses like Fancourt Links, Leopard Creek, and the Gary Player Country Club, and they live up to the hype. Each one is a completely different challenge, set in some of the most beautiful landscapes you’ll ever see.

There are plenty of ‘stay and play’ packages that make the whole trip easy. You could base yourself at a resort like Fancourt or the Arabella Hotel & Spa, where you get the full luxury treatment with spas and incredible food. It’s not just for show; they know how to look after you.

The trip doesn’t have to end at the 18th hole. Afterwards, you could be sipping on world-class wine in the Cape Winelands or heading out on a proper safari in Kruger National Park. It’s a chance to see a whole other side of the country.

With great weather pretty much year-round, top-tier courses, and costs that are surprisingly reasonable, South Africa is a fantastic spot for a golf getaway. If that sounds like your kind of trip, get in touch. We can help you put together a plan and show you what this amazing country has to offer.
