Located amidst the rugged beauty of the Western Cape, Pearl Valley’s Jack Nicklaus Signature Course is managed by world renowned Troon Golf and currently plays host to the South African Open. Ranked #5 on Golf Digest’s list of South Africa’s 100 Greatest Courses Pearl Valley is simply a golfers paradise.

Arguably the Best-Conditioned Course in the Country the 18-hole Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course lies at the base of the Drakenstein Mountains The course's design fits in with the environment, working closely with nature on large, uninterrupted terrain requiring the golfer has to think his/her way around.

The course sits on rich soil that was first cultivated more than 300 years ago when exiles settled in the area from France, bringing with them knowledge of farming and wine-making. Set in South Africa's premier new sporting and residential development, Pearl Valley Golf Estates is situated among orchards and vineyards on the outskirts of two of the Cape's most famous wineland towns, Franschhoek and Paarl. The vineyards that were planted centuries ago are still thriving and now border the course, which uses its natural surroundings and uninterrupted terrain to create a challenging golf experience for golfers of any skill level.

Every hole is played against the spectacular backdrop of the mountains surrounding the estate and all are challenging due to the bunkers and fast greens. The course has been designed with the area’s prevailing winds in mind; the winter northwesterly and the summer southeasterly. All par 3s and par 5s play in different directions, ensuring that the same conditions are not experienced too many times in one round.
