South African Golf Courses - Paarl/ Boschenmeer

Situated 60 km outside Cape Town, Paarl is a wealthy city that has a great number of Victorian and Cape Dutch style buildings. It is host to KWV, the controlling body and co-operative of the Cape Wine industry.
Situated in the Cape Winelands; Paarl is one of the most popular courses in the cape because it is almost completely protected from the wind. It is a relatively flat course with ancient trees lining the fairways. Unusually this course is a par 74 with no less than six par 5's.
One of the distinguishing features of the par five 16th hole is a huge acorn tree right in the middle of the fairway. The par three 6th hole is probably the most scenic. Standing on the tee one has a beautiful view of the vineyards and Berg River to the left and in the background is the majestic mountain ranges of the escarpment.
