Marriott Golf signs first resort in South Africa | News


Marriott Golf has announced further global expansion, with it’s first-ever managed golf resort property in South Africa, the Arabella Golf Club, located in Hermanus, South Africa, near Cape Town. 

This expansion news comes on the heels of Marriott Golf adding resort golf facilities in Fiji, New Caledonia, Uruguay, Spain, and Portugal in 2017.

Surrounded by the magnificent Kogelberg mountain range and Bot River Lagoon, and edged by wild fynbos, the picturesque Arabella Golf Course is the ideal place to pursue a passion for golf and enjoy an ideal golf holiday.

The 18-hole, par 72 championship course has consistently been ranked in the top ten courses in South Africa.

The eighth hole has been described as one of the most beautiful par five’s in South Africa and the 18th hole was rated one of the finest finishing holes in the country.

The course was designed and built by the acclaimed South African golf course architect Peter Matkovich in 1999.

Since then, many professionals and celebrities have enjoyed the Arabella Golf experience, including Jack Nicklaus, Samuel L. Jackson, Ernie Els, Retief Goosen, Lee Westwood, Tim Clark, and Gary Player.

“The newest addition to the Marriott International golf portfolio offers our Rewards members and all guests another opportunity to combine world class travel experiences with great golf,” said Jim Keane, senior director, golf operations and development planning, Marriott International, Inc.

Marriott International encompasses a portfolio of more than 6,500 properties in 30 leading hotel brands spanning 127 countries and territories.
