One of the jewels of Cape Winelands golf, Erinvale is a ‘must play’ golf course nestled at the foot of the Helderberg mountains, with sweeping views of the Winelands and False Bay coastline. The Gary Player designed course was opened in 1995 by “the Master himself”, and since established its position amongst the top golfing experiences in the Western Cape. Having hosted the 1996 World Cup of Golf and the second oldest tournament in the world, the prestigious South Africa Amateurs Open in 2003 and 2004, Erinvale is no stranger to worldwide media coverage. 

Built on a narrow stretch of land which escalates sharply uphill, Erinvale is an estate course with two distinctly different nines. The front nine is flat, winding its way through the park-like terrain estate which calls for challenging approach shots to the long narrow putting surfaces, while the back nine meanders through the foothills of the magnificent Helderberg, with breathtaking views of the False Bay coastline from the mountain top. The signature par-four 17th hole requires golfers to play downhill from an elevated tee, with tall pines flanking one side of the fairway, and an out-of-bounds fence the other.
