for any golfer. The first 9 holes are built on flat terrain with challenging holes made more difficult by strategic water hazards and an array of different style bunkers. These range from traditional large, well shaped bunkers, to some with railway sleepers holding up steep, sandy slopes.<\/p>\n<h1>\n\t\t\tCourse Layout\t<\/h1>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/glenabbey.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/course-layout.jpg\"  target=\"_self\" itemprop=\"url\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/glenabbey.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/course-layout.jpg\" alt=\"course-layout\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"1084\" width=\"601\" title=\"course-layout\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t<p>Erinvale Golf Course&#8217;s second 9 holes are on undulating high ground. Here the scenic splendour might distract the player from the continuing challenge. Again, water and bunkers are the main feature with the added test of sloping lies. The greens at Erinvale Golf Course are huge and well shaped allowing for several different pin placements. A feature of the layout is that different coloured flags tell you the position of the pin.<\/p>\n<h1>\n\t\t\tReservation Sheet\t<\/h1>\n\tTo see tee off times and all associated costs, download the reservation sheet:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/glenabbey.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/Reservation-sheet-for-tee-off-times-at-the-Erinvale-Golf-Club.pdf\">Download PDF<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/glenabbey.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/Reservation-sheet-for-tee-off-times-at-the-Erinvale-Golf-Club.docx\">Download Microsoft Word<\/a>\n<h1>\n\t\t\tFast Facts\t<\/h1>\n\tHoles: 18<br \/>\nType: Resort<br \/>\nOpened: 1995<br \/>\nDesigned by: Gary Player<br \/>\nType of Grass &#8211; Fairways: Kikuyu<br \/>\nType of Grass &#8211; Greens: Bent \/ Poa<br \/>\nCourse Length:\u00a0Yellow 6,440m | White 6,052m | Blue 5,643m | Red 5,110<br \/>\nCourse Rating &amp; SR:<br \/>\nGents:\u00a0 Yellow 74.6 \/ White 72.2\u00a0 \/\u00a0 Blue\u00a0 69.8\u00a0 \/\u00a0 Red\u00a0 67.4<br \/>\nLadies:\u00a0 Yellow 81.4 \/\u00a0 White 79.1\u00a0 \/ Blue 76.6 \/ Red 72.8\n<h1>\n\t\t\tUpmarket Facilities\t<\/h1>\n\t<ul>\n<li>Driving Range includes free range balls<\/li>\n<li>2 x Putting Greens (at the Driving Range and in front of the Clubhouse)<\/li>\n<li>Bunker and Pitching\/Chipping Green at the Driving Range<\/li>\n<li>Rental of Golf cart, push carts, clubs and bags from the Erinvale pro-shop<\/li>\n<li>A wide range of golf instructions from PGA professionals for Individual\/Couples or group lessons for all ages, beginners to professionals<\/li>\n<li>Half-Way-House with changing food offerings<\/li>\n<li>Generous locker and shower rooms<\/li>\n<li>Merchandising offers and the perfect gifts to bring home from our &#8220;Heart of the Helderberg&#8221; neighbourhood<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h1>\n\t\t\tBook Your Stay\t<\/h1>\n<input size=\"16\" type=\"text\"  id=\"date1\" value=\"\" placeholder=\"ARRIVAL\"\/>\n<input size=\"16\" type=\"text\"  id=\"date2\" value=\"\" placeholder=\"DEPARTURE\"\/>\n    <input type=\"submit\" onclick=\"BookNow()\" target=\"_blank\" value=\"CHECK AVAILABILITY\"\/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Erinvale Golf Course At the very heart of the Cape, at the foot of the Helderberg Mountain in Somerset West, among verdant green vineyards, lies the 260-hectare Erinvale Golf Estate.
