In the morning you will take the short journey from Cape Town to the world famous South African Winelands. Visit some of the finest Wine Estates in the area and partake in a little wine tasting. The Winelands are not just famous for wine, but also for the superb Cape Dutch architecture and stunning mountain surroundings.

Atlantic Beach Golf Club
For the second round of golf on tour, you will play one of the few links courses in South Africa. On calm days you can play your normal loft shot or on windy days you can use firm turf to play low running shots beneath the wind. Either way the course is a challenge you are sure to enjoy.
Overnight at The Portswood Hotel, V&A Waterfront, Cape Town.
Wednesday 12th March
Erinvale Golf Club
Today you will play Erinvale Golf Club, which hosted the 1996 World Cup of Golf and where participants found the course both a golfing challenge and a visual delight. The front 9 holes are built on flat terrain with challenging holes made more difficult by strategic water hazards and an array of different style bunkers. The back 9 holes are on undulating high ground. Here the scenic splendor might distract the players from the continuing challenge. Again, water and bunkers are the main features with the added test of sloping lies.
Overnight at The Portswood Hotel, V&A Waterfront, Cape Town.
