Located just 5 minutes outside the picturesque Stellenbosch, Devonvale Golf & Wine Estate is surrounded by rolling vineyards and majestic mountains. Here you will find a true jewel nestled in the Bottelary Valley, in the heart of the Cape Winelands.
The magnificent 18-hole Championship golf course needs little introduction, offering a regular challenge to both local and international golfers alike. The original layout, by accomphished designer Ken Elkin, who did a magnificent job with Devonvale, is in an excellent condition, continously undergoing exciting upgrades but remains a true Country Course – Fun to Play.
Devonvale is fortunate enough to have a large dam in the centre of the course, which feeds the irrigation system, and therefore the golf course doesn’t make use of potable water. About 90% of the water utilised is recycled or harvested and in 2006 Cape Irrigation Systems and Devonvale Golf course won the LIA Environmental Management Water Conservation Trophy for best practice water conservation. An important aspect of Devonvale’s existence is the hosting of tournaments. The estate has seen the hosting of the SA Ladies Open, Sunshine Tour, Provincial Opens, Interprovincial tournaments, Ernie Els foundations, SA Open Qualifying rounds, Interschools and Senior Opens and looks forward to hosting many more in the future as this forms part of Devonvale’s ethos.
