James's top recommendation for overall golf hospitality. South Africans deliver understated service with elegance unmatched anywhere. Fancourt, Leopard Creek, Sun City — the courses are world-class and the food quality is exceptional. All courses are gated. Combine with a safari for the ultimate trip.
South Africa is a golfer’s paradise — world-class courses at extraordinary value. The Garden Route, Fancourt, Sun City, and the Cape vineyards offer stunning variety. Green fees ZAR 500–2,500 ($30–140). The exchange rate makes this one of golf’s greatest bargains.
