Pearl Valley Golf Course
18 Holes, Par 72, 6090 meters, driving range, Pro
shop, halfway house, bars, restaurant
The fairways are unique in that they have been sown
with ‘all season cool grass’ imported from the USA, a first in South
Africa. With 17 hectors of running water, water hazards come into
play on just about every hole. Typical of a Jack Nicklaus design
there are many bunkers, 76 to be exact, which have been cleverly
sculptured into the fairway and around the greens!
The course is so new that a signature hole has not
been decided on but the resident pro assures us that it’s the
par-three 13th. The green is situated on the edge of a small dam
that must be cleared with a bunker guarding the far side.
