Erinvale Golf Club

Erinvale Golf Club is one of the standout golfing experiences in the Cape Winelands. Set in Somerset West at the foot of the Helderberg Mountains, Erinvale Golf Club combines championship pedigree with unforgettable scenery. Designed by Gary Player, this par-72 layout opened in 1995 and has earned a strong reputation for both its playability and its challenge.

We love courses that give you variety, and Erinvale Golf Club does exactly that. It feels polished, dramatic and rewarding from the first tee to the final putt. For golfers visiting the Cape Town region, this is a course that deserves a place on the itinerary!

The Course

The layout at Erinvale Golf Club stretches to 6,842 yards from the championship tees and is known for its two very different nines. The front nine is more parkland in style, with water, mature trees and tight positioning off the tee. It asks questions straight away.

Then the back nine changes the mood. Suddenly, you're climbing into the foothills with bigger views, more elevation change and a more expansive feel. It's a brilliant contrast. Erinvale Golf Club rewards strategy, not just power, and the conditioning is consistently excellent. Expect slick greens, smart bunkering and plenty of holes that stay in the memory.

Signature Holes

One of the most talked-about holes at Erinvale Golf Club is the par-4 8th. This is a strong test on the front nine, with water and careful positioning shaping the strategy from tee to green. It demands commitment.

The par-5 18th is a superb finisher. Set against a spectacular mountain backdrop, it gives longer hitters a tempting risk-and-reward opportunity, but there is still plenty that can go wrong if you lose focus. It's a closing hole with real drama - exactly what you want at the end of a great round!

The Clubhouse

The clubhouse at Erinvale Golf Club offers the perfect place to relax after your round. Welcoming and refined, it looks out over the course and surrounding mountains, giving you a chance to soak it all in a little longer.

Whether you're discussing the best holes, replaying missed putts or planning the next day of your trip, Erinvale Golf Club delivers the full experience on and off the course. It's scenic. It's smart. And it's a course golfers genuinely look forward to playing again.
