South Africa weather
South Africa is famous for its sunshine. It's a relatively dry country, with an average annual rainfall of about 464mm. While the Western Cape gets most of its rainfall in winter, the rest of the country is generally a summer-rainfall region.
Summer (mid-October to mid-February) is characterised by hot, sunny weather – often with afternoon thunderstorms that clear quickly, leaving a warm, earthy, uniquely African smell in the air.
The Western Cape, with its Mediterranean climate, is the exception, getting its rain in winter.

Cape Town & Hermanus Golf Tour – 10-night package includes daily breakfast, 5 rounds of golf and 10 days car rental.
The Courses –
Royal Cape Golf Club – A beautiful course that can be described as a traditional parkland course. This challenging yet pleasurable course is complemented by the spectacular Table Mountain as a backdrop.
Steenberg Golf Club – Rated in the top 3 of South African golf courses, the wind here is an ever-present factor that adds to the challenge but is easily offset by the spectacular surroundings that this club is famous for.
