Arabella Golf Club was acclaimed as the Cape’s top ranking golf course at the recent annual Golf Digest South Africa Top 100 awards. The course also moved up from 5th to 4th position overall in South Africa. General Manager of the Arabella Western Cape Hotel & Spa, Rob Kucera, is thrilled with the result. “Tribute must be paid to the course design which continues to be fun and challenging after 10 years, and to Derek Bolton and the grounds team for maintaining the course’s immaculate condition”, says Kucera.

The course which celebrated its 10th anniversary in December 2009 was built in 1999 by renowned South African golf course architect, Peter Matkovich. Set in the heart of the Overberg on the banks of the Botriver Lagoon, the championship course layout features rolling fairways, deceptive bunkers and challenging water traps. Fringed by indigenous fynbos and the Kogelberg Mountains, Arabella Golf Club is a truly unique golf experience for players of all levels.

Combined with the Arabella Western Cape Hotel and Spa’s superb 5-star product offering, the course provides the perfect venue for an unforgettable South African golfing getaway or larger corporate conference and incentive events. This Luxury Collection Resort was also recently voted Africa’s Leading Luxury Hotel in the 2009 World Travel Awards.
