What The Club Says
The championship course layout was designed and built in 1999 by celebrated South African golf course architect, Peter Matkovich, this classic parkland course has spectacular views across the Bot River lagoon (freshwater) and across the Kogelberg mountain range.
The pristine fairways are kikuyu, while the greens, which frequently receive high praise from professionals in the game are dominant bent. The fame of the course has in recent years spread internationally, with the Nelson Mandela Invitational having been held at the Arabella Golf Course over several years. This pro-celebrity tournament hosted by Gary Player hosted the likes of Jack Nicklaus, Samuel L Jackson, Ronan Keating, Ernie Els, Retief Goosen, Tim Clark, Lee Westwood and Sam Torrance. These and other top names have made a valuable contribution to Gary Player’s initiative to raise funds for the Nelson Mandela Children’s Foundation and the Player Foundation.

Not as good as I was expecting..
Having been to Cape Town many many times and been lucky enough to play many of the amazing courses Arabella has always been on my bucket list.. Although the course condition was very good with great greens and manicured fairways, I cannot say it blew me away. The layout is interesting, and a couple of holes have great views, but given how far out of town it is, there are so many better options in my opinion! A play once for sure course, but cannot say I'm in a rush to play it again.Reviewer Rating

Would love to return next year when hopefully the greens haven't just been treated.

Staff very friendly and helpful.
Just curious as to why the 16th was reduced to a par three, no obvious reason.
