Welcome to Island Golf Holidays Top 20 Hotels and Resorts in South Africa
Welcome to our exclusive rankings of the top 20 hotels and resorts in South Africa. Following a similar exercise we did in the month of May and June on our top 20 resorts in Island Venues, this has been a very rewarding and dynamic exercise and will assist in the planning of the ultimate multi – centre holiday, giving a fascinating insight into where to stay and play, with a guide also of which courses to play from each hotel venue. The selections are simply mouth-watering and give you the best of the best everywhere.
The rankings provide the opportunity to stay at all the best venues in the country and also to play all the best golf courses, some of which will be surprisingly unknown to those golfers who have been to South Africa before. We encourage adventurous customers to give Durban and Port Elizabeth a chance on the Indian Ocean, a stunning coastline, beautiful historic cities and wonderful golf courses like Zimbali, Humewood (very high ranking) and Durban Country Club. This region can be combined with the Garden Route and of course Cape Town.
Also, a short stay in Jo’Burg and Sun City will also allow you to play their remarkable courses, combine 3 nights at the exquisite boutique hotel The Fairlawn playing Royal Jo’Burg, Kensington East and Glendower with The Gary Player course at Sun City and the Palace of the Lost City at Sun City.
Discover the hotel and golfing gems of Cape Town and the Kruger National Park, such as Cape Grace and Sabi Sabi, but taking in the awesome courses like Royal Cape and the exceptional Leopard Creek, explore the very best of the boutique hotels and golf courses in The Winelands, such as the Grande Roche and Lanzerac and the superb courses like De Zalze, Erinvale and Pearl Valley.
Discover hidden gems at St Francis Links, Pezula and Oubaai with not just great golf, but also gorgeous small luxury boutique hotels.
I would also love to underline a couple of our top 20 venues, one being the boutique safari resort called Gondwana, which is sensational and close to Pinnacle Point (the Pebble Beach of South Africa) and the mobile boutique hotel, the Rovos Rail Experience, which is unique worldwide and offers exceptional service and top quality F&B and golfing stops on the Journey, together with exhilarating scenery on its exciting route.
Use this exclusive rankings exercise to plan an exceptional golfing holiday, whether it be for 7 days to 28 days!
Don’t forget the best time to travel for weather in South Africa is from November – March with April and October nice should season months with the low season period being May to September.
