Garden Route Golf Courses
The Garden Route effectively connects the Western Cape and Eastern Cape provinces of South Africa and is, as a result, hugely popular amongst local travellers and international visitors. However, it is not only for this convenience for which it is known. This stretch of road showcases some of the most beautiful panoramas imaginable. These range from jade-coloured mountains with rocky outcrops to dense forests and ferns; from mile upon untouched mile of pristine coastline to some of the most luxurious homes in the country.
Not to be outdone by these magnificent vistas are the many gorgeous golf courses that dot the Garden Route. These courses are set within stunning surrounds and are designed in a way that takes advantage of the naturally varied topography of the terrain. This makes for greens that are challenging and fun, while never negotiating on their aesthetic appeal.
Because of their abundance and variety, the Garden Route’s golf courses are ideal for any combination of technical abilities, preferences and requirements. In addition, this entire region is a tourist hotspot that caters to millions of visitors every year. Therefore, there is plenty more to see and do on your golfing getaway. In fact, the Garden Route combines its natural beauty with a historical intrigue and a generous dose of fun and entertainment for the entire family.
