Beautiful facility, very well managed
Reviewed December 30, 2023
We played Erinvale today after Clovelly and could feel that the standard here is a bit higher, especially when it comes to the service, but also the charisma. Everything is designed to ensure that the guest is well. And all of this in a 5-star atmosphere.
The space itself may not meet the highest demands in terms of layout. I liked Clovelly better here. At least there are usually no major hurdles in the way of reaching the green in a manageable number of shots. The condition was very good and the greens were fast and true. I can recommend a round here at any time.

Fantastic golf course
Reviewed November 27, 2022
We played the golf course on 11/09/2022 and paid ZAR 1050 per person without a cart. The course was in great condition but packed so the loop took 5 hours. But no problem if the weather is fantastic and the views are wonderful. Halfway and a visit to the restaurant afterwards are also highly recommended.

Reviewed December 14, 2019
Played in early December 19 as the last place on our trip. I am still enthusiastic about these top spots because of their care, prospects, design and all the details. So here too!
The hilly back 9 are considerably more attractive than the flat front 9, which sometimes leads past the terraces of the houses.
I found the ID procedure when entering and exiting and how it was handled very uncomfortable.
Only the starter was really warm.

Championship course
Reviewed April 22, 2019
Here were 2 X held the South Africa Open. Very well maintained golf course with partly very large greens. (9G and 18G.) Over 50m long. The place is one of the most beautiful in SA for me. Comparable to 'Simola'
Knysna. 'The Links' Fancourt. 'Arabella' Hermanus, 'Pinacel Point' Mossel Bay, 'Leopard Creek' Kruger Park. To mention only a few super seats in SA. Did they all play?
The green fees are expensive for SA but everyone can easily keep up with the quality of the SP or P. Who wants to have it cheaper should go to other countries. -
Tea time for guests is possible on Mon. Wed. Fri. Sun.
Golf carts are recommended for warmth. You can also run the first 9 L and then tackle the second with a cart.
For bookings from Germany necessarily start on the 1st tee.
A visit to the opposite vineyard 'Vergelegen' is definitely worth it.
I will definitely play Erinvale on my next visit to SA. It is 45 minutes from Cpt. away.

Overvalued and too expensive
Reviewed March 8, 2019
I sometimes have the impression that a beautiful panorama is confused with a beautiful golf course.
We have found erinvale in a top condition: good fairways, good sand, top greens that are wavy and not easy to play.
The first nine holes are flat and not really exciting. Only the last blow on the green really requires concentration - well placed sand bunkers, water hazards and wells demand precise play.
The second nine holes shift somewhat into the hills, but it does not get much more exciting. but the whole thing is easy to handle on foot. for the fact that it is now something up and down, the difficulty claims were down around the green down.
All in all, a beautiful resort area with many rows of houses along the fairways, but nothing more. the comments of (very) slow (german) rentersflights I can confirm.
There is a very active marshall; Unfortunately, his call for "ready golf" is neither understood nor understood. if you are unlucky, you can plan 6 hours for a round.

Golfing between mountains and sea
Reviewed February 10, 2019
A beautifully landscaped golf course between mountain and sea. Varied design of the holes, well-kept condition, fast greens. The squirrels, who scurry across the place occasionally, seem to fear no fear of humans. Only the service in the clubhouse are a bit slow in its operation. Clean sanitary facilities. Was definitely worth the visit. Golf carts cost 450 rand and are in good condition.

Top place in top condition with the most beautiful view
Reviewed January 12, 2018
Absolutely immaculate condition with fast greens. Compared to previous years significantly improved condition, obviously here are ambitious management and motivated employees at work. There are also sensational views of False Bay, Table Mountain and Helderberg. For me in every way the best place in the Cape region.
From a pensioner's place you can not really speak of the front (!) Tees with three Par4 holes over 400 meters and a total length of 6,200 meters. The pot bunkers are not without...
Not cheap, but worth every little thing. Any lower rating than five stars would be a joke!

Golf Round 8 BigEasy 17/02/2017 Erinvale
Reviewed February 18, 2017
A beautiful facility, well maintained with splendid panorama on the mountains around Sommerset West.
The greens are playing very fast and very tricki. Many well-placed bunkers. Water also comes some holes into play.
Lanes 10-18 were particularly beautiful, but also the 1-9 are fine.
Halfway and end on beautiful sunny clubhouse terrace with good views over the greens of the 9 and 18th
In between great drink service on the round in my cart.
Very well-equipped pro shop.
Only the Cartvergabe was not optimally organized.
Prima place in a great area.
Absolutely recommendable.

German / austrian pensioners place
Reviewed February 17, 2017
We played Erinvale in February 2017th The place was irrigated in an excellent condition, fairways, very good bunkers, fast greens. Very well maintained with many flowers plantations created.
The tracks themselves are boring applied, very wide, back and forth. On the back nine has some nice views of the mountains and the sea in the distance.
The square is in droves recorded by German and Austrian pensioners. We had a start time to 8, already at this time was going very much according to slow the speed of play.
The place is very flat on the front nine, the back nine a little hilly. A cart is actually not necessary.
Nice terrace for Halfway and after the round, but "we speak German."
Overall, this golf course the worst value for money on our South Africa golf tour!

Close to five points
Reviewed February 14, 2017
Erinvale Golf we played twice.
The second time we take a chart, which is very pleasant. We also have some more wind, but still within the acceptable framework.
The course is in good maintenance condition, has deep pot bunkers and again comes into play even water. A really spectacular Signiture Hole but there is not, in my opinion.
Greens are in very good (fast) condition and the club also has a beautiful terrace and a well-stocked pro shop. Good practice facilities and long driving range with free practice balls.
This place should play and he is on my scale close to five points.

Price-performance ratio was not
Reviewed January 6, 2017
Overall, nice, well-kept area with fast greens. not just layout breathtaking. The 950 Rand p. Person for a place in the middle of nowere in my view too much, 425 rim for a cart (and this should be given the partially long distances between the webs have) simply a joke. Goods only shortly before our tee time there, the place is very poorly marked what has been used in the same pro shop to let us to push and pay a second cart below. 2750 edge for a round Erinvale with Cart is absolutely not a must, there's in Cape Town serially places that are a little worse maybe, but only a third.

Erinvale Golf Club Sommerset West
Reviewed December 6, 2016
We golfed at Erinvale yesterday. This was a disaster! The price is different to the double of its specification from (we had 1200 Rand / person pay). Although we booked very early, we had had to wait for a car until shortly before our tee. There is no drink was in the freezer. The place was in a very good condition! After finishing our round of golf they wanted to relieve us of the caddies immediately the car and clean up. After consultation with the Club Manager we could but take a drink to us, and then exits. This fit the Caddy not what he secretly abschaltete the power switch!
We have rarely seen in the very friendly South Africa such a miserable service!!!
Price and service do not match! We will never play this course again!
Please correct your quotation of the clubs!

Beautiful place in a great landscape
Reviewed October 31, 2016
We (HCP 17 and 34) have played the square end of October 2016th Even for non-members on defined weekdays bookable (eg golfteetimes. Co.za) Very friendly reception (not arrogant, as sometimes described).
We had an e-cart (so not noisy, as occasionally described).
Good condition of the course, the greens are typical of the country fast and tricky. Nevertheless always fair play.
The first 9 tracks pull rather something nice by the estate (ie normal development along the course). But the back nine make it more landscape and the beautiful panorama of the Helderberg into play. That's my opinion, the more interesting because more scenic railways.
Not spectacular, but very nice.
As they enjoyed the place. What more do you want?

Finest Golf Resort in a friendly atmosphere
Reviewed March 2, 2016
Played on 02/14/2016. The especially on the back nine hilly 18-hole course (cart for normal ambitious sportsmen but not required) is above Sumerset West, close to the mountains in a well-guarded resort in a beautiful natural landscape. At the entrance to the resort you will be registered and can then drive up to the beautiful clubhouse. Guests must be at all only play on some specific days in the week. A reservation in advance is required. The reception by the staff (BagDrop, Proshop and starter) is very warm and exemplary. If you previously "forgotten" have his bat to clean, it is taken for granted. The course runs along varied through the resort past the villas, but do not interfere. It is important to take a few well-placed bunkers and water hazards from the game. Higher HC should take the front tees and enough balls with you. To enjoy there, especially on the back nine again beautiful views of the landscape. The condition was good, although there were some places that were marked as ground under repair. All the best and especially despite summer heat green. The greens swift and partly tricky undulating. The game speed was despite many 4-seater flight in order so that it was incl. Halfwaypause after 4.5 hours, as most players but are then traveling by cart. The clubhouse is of course incl. The changing rooms at its finest. The green fee is for South African conditions with converted 56 - relatively high €, but worth every penny. The round here is a must if you are near Cape Town.

Interestingly space - something arrogant staff
Reviewed February 24, 2016
The course was in excellent condition. Should it be for hefty prices. At first 9 holes to overcome some altitude. And then even if the wind comes to considering you look twice what it takes for a racket. The second nine holes are then a little more relaxed.
As a guest you have the feeling that you did not wait for us. Too bad.

Unfortunately playable only on 4 of 7 days:-(
Reviewed November 25, 2014
Erinvale GC has unfortunately decided that golf tourists 4 of 7 week days only have the opportunity to play on the court. (3 days per week is the Members only) This is a pity, forces the golfer, however, sometimes playing all the other beautiful places in the region. Reserve necessarily start times in time from 7 clock starts from 1 and 10, you can sleep at home...
The place still in top condition, the greens are the fastest in the region, 3 putts are unfortunately the result, do not fret, we have holiday!!

Nice place, tricky greens, chic panorama!
Reviewed February 19, 2014
Played on 08.12.2013, HCP 13
A nice, well-maintained parkland course!
But power to "fine resort", the service is not quite as afterwards such as "next door" in Pearl Valley. (The Icebox on the Cart is not automatically filled before the round - you have to stop to ask for, then this is but promptly taken care of.)
The Railways (Blue / seniors 5840, Red / Women 5222, Pink / Senior 5126 Yellow / Champions 6.506m, White / Club Player 6202,) are in themselves despite the length pretty easy. The rear 9 gently sloping, front rather flat. Who with the length has no problem, can well do without a Cart. Wide fairways, some water, some bunker.
BUT THE GREENS! The strongly undulating putting green can already guess: Large, very fast greens, strong "bent" and so tricky built that you do not recognize many breaks, or who sees where there are none. 3-putts just do not stay out, at least if one does not know the place.
Scenically very pretty - (do not forget your camera!) Lots of bushes and trees and above all pretty close appearing mountains, repeatedly emit a spectacular panorama.
Conclusion: Yeah, the place you should play again - if you can live with 3-putts!
Scarce 4 stars (the "Bear Golf Ranking": 7 out of 10.)

Interestingly Course in Somerset West
Reviewed November 20, 2013
Erinvale GC is a well-maintained 18-hole course, located in the Helderbergtal. Around the mountains and the sea in front, as beautiful views are guaranteed. The condition of the course was very good in Nov. 2013. The first 9 holes are in the valley, almost all cars are equipped with water obstacles that you know, put the balls. After Halfwaypause (which is compulsory in South Africa) for about 15 minutes then it goes up to 2.9 holes, very nice tracks, each track is different, it is never boring, really a very recommendable beautiful place.
The Clubhouse terrace provides interesting views of the green from track 9 and track 18, the food in the clubhouse was okay, nice, recommended alternative would be the winery "Vergelegen" it is right next door and offers a very good lunch at (Pre).

A must-play course...
Reviewed January 21, 2013
A wonderful place, challenging but fair with great views especially of the back nine. We played the course three times and are always started from the 10th The holes 10 - 18 have their additional appeal by the hilly terrain and partly along the narrow fairways of bounds. After the Halfway House lanes 1 to 9 appear at first somewhat easier, but by the design of the fairways, numerous bunkers have also sent these tracks it absolutely in itself. The place was on Dec 2012/Jan 2013 in excellent condition. We will come back here...
