Overview
Pearl Valley Golf and Country Club was the second signature course in South Africa designed by Jack Nicklaus and opened in 2003 featuring a match between him and Gary Player. It hosted three consecutive SA Opens between 2007 and 2009. The course is located on a 500-acre estate in one of the premier residential communities of 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. Pearl 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-struck tee shots.
