Arabella Golf Club: Located in Kleinmond (just outside of Hermanus) in the Western Cape. The theme is balance. Challenging enough to bring you back for more, enjoyable enough to make you not want to leave. The design challenge was headed by the renowned architect Peter Matkovich. His undoubted success has resulted in a course that complements the environment without disappointing the golfer, whether expert or amateur.

Awards: Voted the number two golf course in South Africa and the top golf course in the Western Cape, the Arabella Golf Club - home to the Nelson Mandela Invitational - stretches through rolling fairways, deceptive bunkers and challenging water traps.

Course Details: The course is 6381 metres in length and has a SAGU rating of 72. It borders the largest natural lagoon in Southern Africa, and the 9th, 17th and 18th run parallel to the lagoon. Choosing a signature hole proves to be an extremely difficult task as all of the holes are well designed with spectacular views. Peter Matkovich, who designed the Arabella Golf course, ensured that the 18 holes encompass the Mountain backdrops, lagoon frontage and forests on the estate near Kleinmond. These provide for links, parkland and coastal aspects, while the individual fairways provide natural corridors as vantage points to savour nature’s true beauty.

Facilities: Bar; Caddies graded; Carts for hire; Conference facilites; Gym; Halfway House; Locker Facilities; Pool and Practice Area.
