Golf History
The fact that golf has been played in South Africa as far back as 1920 is owed to the country’s ideal climate and the influence of the British. Thus, unsurprisingly, the country has produced several top players, such as Gary Player, Ernie Els, Retief Goosen and Louis Oosthuizen. Today, South Africa is home to more than 500 golf courses. Whereas some are linked to luxury resorts, many others are open to the public and affordable even on a more modest budget.
