Arabella Golf Course
The number one golf course in the Western Cape (Golf Digest Awards, 2008), the Arabella Golf course stretches through rolling fairways, deceptive bunkers and challenging water traps. A truly unique golf course set on the banks of the Bot River Lagoon and fringed by indigenous fynbos.
The championship course layout was designed and built in 1999 by celebrated South African golf course architect, Peter Matkovich, this classic parkland course has spectacular views across the Bot River lagoon (freshwater) and across the Kogelberg mountain range.
The pristine fairways are kikuyu, while the greens, which frequently receive high praise from professionals in the game are dominant bent. The fame of the course has in recent years spread internationally, with the Nelson Mandela Invitational having been held at the Arabella Golf Course over several years. This pro-celebrity tournament hosted by Gary Player hosted the likes of Jack Nicklaus, Samuel L Jackson, Ronan Keating, Ernie Els, Retief Goosen, Tim Clark, Lee Westwood and Sam Torrance. These and other top names have made a valuable contribution to Gary Player’s initiative to raise funds for the Nelson Mandela Children’s Foundation and the Player Foundation.
