The sport of golf is enjoyed by millions all over the globe. The exclusivity and glamour surrounding the athletes, brand endorsements and difficulty level all add to the mystique of golfing, but there's nothing that adds to the fun as much as a sought-after, luxurious green. The Pearl Valley Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course in Val de Vie estate is one of the best golf courses in the world and among the top three in South Africa. This ideal destination is an elite escape, with access to the Winelands and more.
Play the Pearl
Jack Nicklaus opened the course in 2003 with the proclamation that Pearl Valley was one of the most spectacular settings in which he had been privileged enough to design a golf course. Indeed, the Simonsberg mountain range provides the perfect backdrop for an early morning of golf, with natural lakes and fresh fynbos surrounding the area. To play at Pearl Valley, you can arrange to become a member of the club or book a tee time as a guest. When you live in Pearl Valley Golf and Country Estate, becoming a member is an absolute must. The irresistible appeal of this all-in-one golf course is only benefited by the conveniently located residential properties you can view through South Africa's best real estate company.
The leisure facilities and amenities offered by the clubhouse will leave you feeling pampered and spoilt throughout your time. This is also the perfect solution for those who want to spend time prioritising their wellness instead of golfing and is often the choice of many golf-mad partners. Kill two birds with one stone and hear all about their golfing average while relaxing after a spa day. The Camelot Spa on-site is next to the Pearl Valley Clubhouse and boasts modern beauty and skincare treatments, massages and more. There is also a fitness centre where you can make use of the gym facilities, swim in one of three resort-style pools or play on the tennis courts. There is also the opportunity to take in the scenery with running paths and mountain bike trails.
Live it up at Pearl Valley
There is no doubt that the Pearl Valley Golf Course is heaven on earth for avid golfers. The course layout is designed to give players the best sporting experience available and is 6 749 metres in length off the championship tees. The ladies course is 4 935 metres long and provides ample room for competitive games. The course keeps wind speed and direction in mind with players being able to enjoy varying conditions throughout their time on the course.
The Pearl Valley Golf Academy is on hand to provide coaching and practice facilities to those who want to up their game or simply want to learn the basics. Expert instructors offer first-hand techniques that will equip you with the confidence to achieve your desired results on the golf course. It is a valuable addition for advanced players and beginners alike, as you gain perspective and insight from local and international coaches with in-depth knowledge.
What's a world-class golf course without a fantastic eatery? Indulge in everything from fresh sushi and crisp salads to pizzas and steaks at The Valley Restaurant in the Clubhouse. Enjoy impeccable service as you dine while looking out over the magnificent views of the course and mountains. The Polo Pavilion by Back's offers you the chance to dress up and enjoy elegant meals during Polo season. Their menu is light and flirty while appealing to every palate. Or you can choose to relax with your favourite cocktail overlooking the 9th and 18th holes at the Pearl Valley Bar. This is the ideal spot to watch the sunset and reflect on a great day of golfing.
