Paarl Golf Club: 27 holes, each with its own personality
Paarl Golf Club has 27 holes, each one a completely different challenge. Always in good condition, nice facilities, friendly staff. Just ten minutes from a top-10 SA course in Pearl Valley — and somehow still the layout I'd want to be a member at.

Devonvale: the thinking golfer's everyday course
Devonvale isn't the longest course you'll play in the Cape, but the layout makes you think on almost every tee. The par 5s are reachable and built to score on, the par 4s constantly tempt you to grab a driver when something else would be smarter, and there's enough water to punish bad club choices. Not a top 10 course — but exactly the kind of layout you'd want as a member.
