When you’re teeing off at the first on one of the world’s most beautiful golf courses, you don’t want to start the round with an ugly shank into the rough. Despite its club-bashing frustration at times, many people forget golf is a sport normally played when you’re at your happiest and gulping down lovely fresh air.
Take the professionals, they almost never play when it’s raining, competitions are hosted at some of the most beautiful and iconic spots in the world and they are treated to around 7,000 perfectly manicured yards of grass most RHS gardens would be proud of.
And in South Africa, enthusiastic amateurs can check every one of those boxes. Not to mention the five-star food and wine away from the courses.
