Pearl Valley Golf Estate
Pearl Valley is the latest addition to the Jack Nicklaus's repertoire of signature-designed courses worldwide. The Pearl Valley Golf Estate is surrounded by the Simonsberg and Drakenstein Mountains and bordered by vineyards with The Berg River water hazard running through it!

Nicklaus has stayed true to his design principles by working closely with nature and has provided a golf course that fits in with the environment. This fairly flat and largely uninterrupted terrain enabled Nicklaus the freedom to develop hole strategies making this a golf course the golfer has to think his/her way around. The course is spectacularly set in beautiful surroundings and it is only a matter of time before Pearl Valley hosts an international golfing event.

The fairways are unique in that they have been sown with 'all season cool grass' imported from the USA, a first in South Africa. With 17 hectors of running water, water hazards come into play on just about every hole. Typical of a Jack Nicklaus design there are many bunkers, 76 to be exact, which have been cleverly sculptured into the fairway and around the greens! . It is crossed by roads in only three places, and the drainage system allows play to continue just minutes after a severe cloudburst.
