SOUTH AFRICA GOLF TOUR For the 2018 tour to , we are returning to the areas that have proved so popular over the years. We commence and indeed finish the tour at the Fancourt Resort on the Garden Route, one of the most illustrious golf resorts in the world. The second leg of the tour takes us to the Western Cape, with four nights in Cape Town and four nights in the Winelands, playing some of our favourite courses and enjoying the culture and hospitality of the ‘Fairest Cape’. For the third week we return to the Garden Route and the quite superb Pezula Resort on the cliffs adjoining the Knysna Heads. Knysna, so often voted as South Africa’s favourite town, is just a joy to experience and often a week there is not long enough!

The purpose of the tour is to play some wonderful golf courses, but to truly experience South Africa at its finest, both the stunning coastal and mountain settings, as well as the unique character and charisma of South African society. We have been touring South Africa annually now for more than 20 years, but each time we set foot on the plane to come home, we simply want to be stepping off it again to commence the return trip. We will also ensure that the ambience and hospitality of the tour is first class; it is a social tour as much as a golf tour, and we will experience wonderful restaurants, wine estates as well as getting a real feel for the regions of South Africa that we visit.

To book a place on the tour, please call or email Iain, or send a booking request via the web-site and we will then confirm your booking accordingly. I very much hope to see you in South Africa early next year. David Short
