Pearl Valley Golf & Country Club

Pearl Valley Golf and Country Club was the second course in South Africa designed by Jack Nicklaus and opened in 2003 featuring a match between Gary Player and Jack Nicklaus. The course is located on a 500-acre estate in one of the premier residential communities in South Africa. Located in the Cape Winelands region the course sits in the Paarl-Franschhoek Valley surrounded by the Simonsberg Mountains and displays an aura of luxury and tranquility. Pearly Valley is known for large hazards, deep white river sand bunkers, and waste areas covered in native brush grass. The front side at Pearl Valley is highlighted by the 161-yard par-3 third with a forced carry-over water and penal bunker protecting the green. The standout hole on the back nine is the challenging 211-yard par-3 17th with a sloping and elevating putting surface ready to repel even the best well-struck tee shots.
