Signature Holes
Hole 3 – Par 3: This hole is celebrated for its stunning aesthetics and challenging play. Golfers must navigate a water hazard that guards the front of the green, demanding precision and confidence to avoid the water and land on the green.
Hole 13 – Par 5: Known for its length and strategic design, this par 5 features a double dogleg with water hazards and bunkers that come into play on both the tee shot and the approach. The green is well-protected, requiring a well-thought-out strategy to score well.
Hole 18 – Par 4: The finishing hole offers a dramatic end to the round, playing towards the clubhouse with the majestic Stellenbosch Mountains as a backdrop. The fairway is flanked by vineyards, and water hazards guard the approach to the green, making accuracy paramount.
