For serious golfers South
Africa has a host of world-renowned courses. Almost all are
set in breathtaking landscapes and are open throughout the year.
The rough could be the beach, an open Savannah, subtropical forest
or parched desert. South Africa offers golfers a chance to putt
on oiled greens, drive over mightily rivers and brave water holes

centers have private golf courses.
