Pearl Valley Golf Estates
A scenic 45 minutes drive inland from South Africa’s most vibrant city, Cape Town, (and less than 40 minutes from Cape Town’s International airport), the iconic Pearl Valley Golf Estates stands proudly amongst the vineyards of the legendary 300 year-old wine region and culinary capital of Franschhoek.
An exclusive, fully secured 500-home residential development, surrounding a magnificent 170 hectare 18-hole Jack Nicklaus signature golf course, Pearl Valley Golf Estates is set against the stunning backdrop of the Drakenstein Mountains.
Officially opened in November 2003, it is one of the most visually spectacular golf courses in the world and was named ‘Best Golf Course of the Year’ in 2005 and won a PMR Diamond Arrow Award in 2008, achieving the highest rating of any golf course in the Western Cape. In 2007, it announced a three-year deal to host the South African Open Championship, one of the oldest Opens in world golf.
The course is managed by Troon Golf, the world’s leading luxury brand golf management, development and marketing company. Troon Golf is committed to delivering the highest standards of services and playing conditions throughout the course and its associated facilities.
These facilities include a 4,500 m² club house that provides the last word in luxury and exclusivity for members and their guests, offering restaurants and a bar, a gym and spa, as well as a golf shop. Overlooking the eighteenth hole, the sprawling glass and polished timber building presents a privileged vantage point from where the lie of the land can best be appreciated. Residents also have direct access to an equestrian centre and a Boma providing picnic and BBQ facilities on the river
To its residents, guests, partners and investors, Pearl Valley Golf Estates is not just one of the world’s most exquisite golf courses, but a place of natural splendour, excellent cuisine, appreciation of life’s finer pleasures and, of course, a spectacular round of golf.
Pearl Valley Golf Estates was acquired by current owner Leisurecorp in May 2007. Leisurecorp also owns Dubai’s leading residential golf development, Jumeirah Golf Estates, and the company has brought its global experience to assist in South Africa.
