The thwack of the drive down the fairway. The satisfying rattle of the ball in the cup. The whoop from the caddie. The ripple of applause from the crowd. Put these together with a clear azure sky, a background of blue and mauve mountains, the intense sweeping green of the course … and you have the South African Women’s Open at Steenberg, a highlight on the Sunshine Ladies Tour.

The world’s top female golfers will descend on Steenberg from 30 March to 2 April 2022, vying for an increased purse of €290 000 (approximately R5.5 million) and the chance to play in one of the most beautiful settings in the world. If the winner is South African, she will also be rewarded with the Investec Homegrown Award, worth R100 000. The tournament will be televised worldwide.

Few things are more exciting than being right there, in the autumn sunshine, with the thrill of watching the world-class golf of the SA Women’s Open – but one of those exciting things would be to play the same course and walk along the same fairways as the greatest women golfers in the world.

The golf course at Steenberg is only one of the attractions of this historic estate – the oldest in Cape Town. Set against the spectacular backdrop of the Constantiaberg, which is part of the Table Mountain National Park, Steenberg is also a wine farm with a winery of distinction, a five-star hotel and spa and hundreds of years of gracious hospitality.

Playing a round of golf here is a sensory delight, but even staying at Steenberg is a transport back to another world, a world where time stands still under the avenues of oak trees and the days are taken up with gracious living. And of course, Cape Town is one of the world’s most beautiful cities, with vineyards, mountains, forests, ocean adventures and a Big 5 safari right on the doorstep.

The best way to experience the finest that the Cape has to offer would be to book your next trip through GILTEDGE global travel company.
