Pearl Valley Golf Estate

Pearl Valley is arguably the jewel of the Cape Winelands golf scene. Designed by Jack Nicklaus as a Signature design — a distinction reserved for only his finest work — the course opened in 2003 and immediately established itself as one of South Africa's premier golf estates. Set against the magnificent backdrop of the Groot Drakenstein and Simonsberg mountain ranges, every hole offers a view that belongs in a postcard.
