At the far end of the dark continent, Peter Smith found plenty to delight in

Imagine playing a round of golf on a
perfectly manicured course, the warm
sun on your back and just the gentlest
hint of a breeze off the ocean. Mountains towering in the background, the aroma of millions of flowers, a birdie on the last and a cool beer sitting on the terrace as the sun sinks
slowly over the horizon, sending up that glorious golden glow to bounce offtiny, high, pink-tinted clouds.?
Is it a dream? ....

No, it’s South Africa. Welcome to golf on another planet. At least that’s how it feels. If you’ve ever been there, you’ll already know all this. If you haven’t, prepare your senses for something totally different. An overnight flight gets you into Cape Town relaxed, and that’s how you’re going to stay for the next week or two. The Cape area has two of the country’s top tourist destinations – Table Mountain and the Victoria & Alfred

Waterfront, with its exciting shopping and some spectacular hotels where service is not merely an aim, it’s a
serious mission. There are great restaurants where the prices will stun you – you can eat a full dinner for less than what some fast-food outlet might charge for a measly hamburger – and you will enjoy some great golf with green fees so low you’ll be asking
if it’s OK to pay more.
