About Erinvale Golf Club

Erinvale Golf Club is an 18-hole Gary Player Design course in Somerset West. The course and estate were officially opened on 27 May 1995. Erinvale's own history records that Gary Player Design Company was appointed in 1990 and that Phil Jacobs carried out the design work for GPDC, visiting regularly during construction.

The course quickly became a major tournament venue: it hosted the 1996 World Cup of Golf, won by South Africa's Ernie Els and Wayne Westner, and the South African Open in 2003 and 2004, both won by Trevor Immelman. Erinvale is a members' club that also accepts visitors on specified days. The course's two nines occupy contrasting ground, with the back nine climbing the lower slopes of the Helderberg.

The course is an 18-hole parkland golf course. Designed by Phil Jacobs and Gary Player Design Company, the course originally opened in 1995. It is semi-private, welcoming both members and visitors. On-site facilities include Clubhouse, Restaurant, Pro shop, Golf carts, Club rental, Terrace.

Origins

Planning for Erinvale's golf development took shape around 1990 when Gary Player Design Company was appointed to create a championship-standard course. The estate's official history identifies Phil Jacobs as the designer carrying out the work for GPDC.

Development

The estate, clubhouse and 18-hole golf course were officially opened on 27 May 1995. Tournament infrastructure developed rapidly, allowing Erinvale to stage the World Cup the following year.

Recognition

The 1996 World Cup established Erinvale internationally soon after opening. The course later hosted consecutive South African Opens in 2003 and 2004.

Today

Erinvale operates as a members' club while allowing visitor play on designated days.
