On arrival at Cape Town International Airport you will be met by one of our representatives who will direct you to your hire car, complete with local city and area maps.

Spend the remainder of the day relaxing and acclimatising.

Day 2 ~ Milnerton Golf Club (18 holes, Par 72, 5788 metres)
After a night of rest and recuperation, travel to Milnerton Golf Club and play the only true 'Links' course in South Africa. Set in a beautiful location on the shores of Table Bay with Table Mountain and the ocean as constant backdrops, which is enough to take the mind off any round that is not quite up to scratch. After the golf, we would suggest spending the remainder of the day on Bloubergstrand, taking in the stunning panoramic scenery of Table Bay and Table Mountain.

Day 3 ~ Royal Cape Golf Club (18 holes, Par 72, 5787 metres)
A morning round of golf at the Royal Cape Golf Club, one of the oldest Clubs in the country which still retains a hint of its colonial past, and is a very pleasant test of golfing skills. In the afternoon we would suggest getting the birds eye view of the peninsula and taking the aerial cableway to the top of Table Mountain for the 360 degree panoramic views.

Day 4 ~ Non-Golfing Day - Suggested Sightseeing: Kirstenbosch Gardens and V&A Waterfront
A day to do exactly as one pleases, even if it is absolutely nothing! Suggested activities could be to spend a pleasant few hours wandering around the internationally renowned Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens, situated on the slopes of Table Mountain, and forming part of the estate of Cecil John Rhodes. This enormous area which comprises beautifully manicured gardens, natural, unspoiled walks on the forested mountain slopes, and over 8000 different plant species, deserves more than a mere passing visit. Complete with an informative visitors centre, it is no wonder that Kirstenbosch Gardens consistently appears in the top 10 attractions in South Africa. In the afternoon explore the fantastic V&A Waterfront. This working harbour and shopping/entertainment development has become Cape Town's and South Africa's best visited tourist attraction. Some of the many attractions are the Two Oceans Aquarium, the IMAX cinema with its 5-storey screen specializing in spectacular nature documentaries, SA Maritime Museum, and over 350 shops, boutiques and restaurants.

Day 5 ~ Erinvale Golf Club (18 holes, Par 72, 5892 metres)
A morning round of golf at the Erinvale Country Club, home to the 1996 World Cup of Golf, and magnificently situated on the slopes of the Helderberg Mountains overlooking vineyards and the False Bay coastline. After the golf, we would suggest a tour of the adjacent Vergelegen Wine Estate.

Day 6 ~ Welcome to the Garden Route
After checking out of the Hotel, leave Cape Town via Sir Lowrys Pass and spend the rest of the morning travelling through the rolling farmlands environment of the Overberg. Pass through the historic towns of Swellendam and Mossel Bay en route to George, and the picturesque lagoon side town of Knysna. Check in to the Knysna Quays Hotel, ideally located on the popular Waterfront area.

Day 7 ~ Plettenberg Bay Country Club (18 holes, Par 72, 5930 metres)
Travel through to the trendy holiday playground of Plettenberg Bay, and play on the picturesque hillside Plettenberg Bay Country Club course. In the afternoon we would recommend exploring the local town and surrounding area. Perhaps visit the Robberg Nature Reserve and take a short walk around part of the Robberg Peninsula with it's magnificent coastal views on all sides, before enjoying a sundowner and maybe an early evening meal on the deck of the Lookout Restaurant in Plett, before heading back for Knysna.

Day 8 ~ George Golf Club (18 holes, Par 72, 5800 metres)
Enjoy a morning round of golf at the George Golf Club, where Ernie Els learnt his trade, in the shadow of the Outeniqua Mountains. After the golf, we would suggest a couple of detours to Herolds Bay and Victoria Bay, as you make your way back to Knysna.

Day 9 ~ Sparrebosch Golf Club (18 holes, Par 72, 6281 metres)
In the morning play the magnificently situated, but not easy, hillside course of Sparrebosch Golf Club, spectacularly situated on the top of Knysna's Eastern Head where the views will compensate for all the lost balls! It is worthwhile reserving an hour to visit the forest hideaway area of Noetzie. It is a relatively short distance to reach this extraordinary beach, with its secluded lagoon and beach and the unique Noetzie Castles.
