Playing the course

The course is considered a combination links and parklands course with a fair amount of water challenges on several of the holes. The Spier Golf Course has been described as having a memorable layout with many challenges especially along the second nine. The par-four 12th is a short hole with an island tee over a large stretch of water to a green that can be driven if you are willing to brave the water. The par-five that is set among the citrus trees and which has two fairways is yet another memorable hole.

The golf club which has been open since 2000 is an exciting addition to various international standard championship golf courses which was built in the Western Cape recently. The Spier Golf Course has already played host to various championship events as well as the 2006 World Amateur Team Championships. The Spier wine group purchased an interest in the property in 2000 and together with Kleine Zalze they have re-modelled the estate into one of the most sought after golf real estate properties in the Cape Winelands with an exceptional golf course to boot. The Spier Golf Course welcomes all golfers and with the various amenities ensures that golfers have an enjoyable golfing experience.
