About Paarl Golf Club
A premier resort destination and member-based golf club, Paarl Golf Club, in Paarl, South Africa, is recognized for its beauty, challenging golf and proximity to luxurious amenities. The stunning 27-hole Paarl Golf Course is situated in the picturesque valley on the outskirts of South Africa’s third-oldest town, Paarl. The course, first laid out on the banks of the Berg River in the 1950s, has been redesigned by Danie Obermeyer and David Frost. Frost, a Paarl native and still a prominent winemaker in the area, brought local knowledge and experience gained on both the U.S. and European professional golf tours in assisting in the design of the course.
Paarl Golf Course is a unique 27-hole facility. Some holes meander along the Berg River, while many are tree-lined lush green channels, presenting the golfer with a smooth mix of risk and reward. Water hazards are the most prominent challenge, with the majority of holes having a water trap requiring careful consideration by any golfer, including the pros.
The club has hosted some of South Africa’s Sunshine Tour events with great success. Local corporate golf days and a large list of annual events grace the club’s calendar. Visitors from around South Africa and worldwide enjoy the unforgettable, warm, friendly and visually stunning experience Paarl Golf Club extends.
