Garden Route Golf Self-drive (or Guided)

South Africa’s Garden Route is home to some of the world’s most celebrated golf courses: from the dramatic coastal setting of Arabella to the renowned Fancourt estate, whose Links course is consistently ranked No. 1 in the country. This 9-night Garden Route Golf Self-Drive blends superb play with sweeping scenery, gourmet hospitality, and the relaxed freedom of travelling at your own pace.

Designed for couples or a  group of friends, the journey is anchored by luxury five-star hotels with exceptional golfing pedigree, each offering indulgent spa facilities and plenty to enjoy for non-golfing partners. While many guests treat this as an invigorating week away from the office, it also pairs seamlessly with a safari, particularly the Eastern Cape, which is easily reached by road from the Garden Route.

4 nights Steenberg Hotel & Spa, Cape Town BB

3 nights Fancourt Hotel & Spa, Garden Route BB with up to 3 rounds on their Montagu and Outeniqua courses*

Note * If you want to play the #1 course, The Links, you can opt to upgrade to the Ultimate Golf package at Fancourt. Contact us for the supplement.

Your stay includes up to six rounds of golf: two in Cape Town, one at Arabella, and up to three at the legendary Fancourt. The sample itinerary outlines the expected flow of play, but tee times remain flexible around seasonal conditions, club fixtures, and your personal preferences.

As a self-drive tour, it offers complete freedom to add extra nights, linger longer in favourite areas, or add in some non-golfing days for seeing the sights.

Private Transfers & Optional Guided Touring
