Gordon Dalgleish

Wilmington, NC - Cape Town, South Africa

South Africa’s phenomenal golf is reason enough for a visit. The game’s rich history and impressive new construction provides an abundant selection of outstanding layouts. Then, when you add a safari, plus Cape Town and the Cape Winelands, plus the Garden Route, perhaps Sun City Resort, the experience proves to be truly one of the most eventful – and exotic – golf and travel experiences imaginable. A bucket-list adventure for travelers of all ages!

I love a golf challenge…and this is certainly a challenge!  Legend Golf & Safari Resort in South Africa offers a golfing experience that must be on the bucket list!

It’s called the “Extreme 19th” and is accessible only by helicopter with the tee set 400m up on the majestic Hanglip Mountain and played to a green the shape of Africa some 400m below.  Click here to view the video of Padriag Harrington; the first person to make a Par 3.

Cape Grace Hotel in South Africa

PerryGolf Staff

Cape Grace Hotel in South Africa is a popular choice while in Cape Town; it was recently voted “Best Hotel in Africa and the Middle East” by Travel & Leisure Magazine 2011.  Click here for details of the great awards the hotel has received.  

A must do while staying at Cape Grace is taking the trip up Table Mountain in a cable car; the mountain is sculpted from sandstone and rises 1086 metres at its highest point – Maclears Beacon – above the bay.  Its flat summit measures nearly 3km and provides breathtaking views over the city and its beaches.  The panorama stretches from Table Bay to False Bay and around the mountain to the Hout Bay Valley and Kommetjie.  On a clear day, you will find a beautiful view across the Cape Flats to the Hottentots Holland Mountains.  The cable car was first opened in 1929 and today transports around 600,000 people to the summit annually.
