It is undoubtedly the most popular sport which can be played solo. Golf is a game where focus is entirely dependent on individual brilliance. The positive (or negative, depending on your score card) is that one’s performance in this sport is not influenced by an opponent but lies solely with the swinger of the club. The unique scenic beauty and natural environment of a golf course is unmatched by any other sport. Combine exquisite scenery with the love of the game and necessary breaks that individuals need and deserve throughout the year, and you see why Garden Route Golf Holidays have become extremely popular in South Africa.
The Garden Route is without doubt one of the most exquisitely picturesque parts of the Southern African coastline boasting pristine scenery, indigenous forests, golden beaches, lagoons, lakes, winding rivers and, of course, brilliant golf courses. The area is a popular holiday destination and sportsmen and women who love the game have found the Garden Route to be the perfect Golf Holiday destination too.
Holidays are typically family affairs, mini-golf and Putt-Putt aside, it is not usually a game the whole family can play. It is therefore increasingly apparent that Golf Resorts have gone to extremes to ensure that non-playing family members can also enjoy themselves – shopping excursions, soothing spa facilities and day trips to nearby attractions allow the golfer to swing guilt-free, knowing that family members are excellently occupied.
From self-catering to fully-catered, merely comfortable to opulently luxurious, there is a plethora of accommodation options and choices for the golf holiday seeker. Wherever it is you choose to stay, you can be sure it will be nestled in spectacular scenery and some of the country’s most notorious golf courses. Be it dramatic cliff top golf or a game amidst unparalleled views, one can be sure the game will be played on a sweeping spectacle of fairways and greens rolling through unspoiled indigenous landscapes. With this infallible combination, it is not difficult to see why Garden Route Golf Holidays are increasing in popularity.
