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.
Visitor Policy: Visitors are welcome at Arabella Golf Club. We
require every golfer to have an official handicap and membership card or
handicap certificate must be brought on the day of play. Non-resident
golfers may only book tee-off times up to a maximum of seven days prior
to day of play. Preference for tee times is given to hotel guests and
members.
Dress Code: The dress code for the Golf Club is smart casual or
accepted golf attire. All players are required to wear a collared shirt.
No jeans or t-shirts are allowed on the golf course. It is a soft spike
only course. |
