Fourteen nights or more through South Africa, hosted by two PGA Professionals, Franco Groenewald and Ken Mattiace. Every round, room, transfer and dinner arranged. You bring the clubs.
Then we added a game reserve, the Winelands, Cape Point and two PGA Professionals who travel with you. Golfers play. Partners who don't play get a day built with the same care. Everyone meets for dinner.
Each runs fourteen nights or more. Not sure which? Tell us what you love and we'll shape it.

Garden RouteA South African PGA Professional who knows every course and road, and an American PGA Professional who knows what you expect. Both travel with you.
South AfricaPGA of South Africa Class A Professional
Franco went from an eleven handicap to scratch in eighteen months, then built a career at Pinnacle Point, where he runs the pro shop and a launch-monitor fitting studio. He looks after the group day to day and keeps the nightly leaderboard.
PGA Professional, United States
Ken is Links & Leopards's partner in the United States. He plans the trip with you before you fly, travels with the group and makes sure every day runs the way American golfers expect.
Group size, how many play and roughly when. Two minutes on our enquiry page.
A day-by-day journey and one price per guest, written by Franco or Ken for your group.
One agreement and one price. Every hotel and tee time confirmed with the venue before you pay.
Book your flight to Cape Town or Johannesburg. From the moment you land, the rest is ours to run.
Your route and price come from a person. Franco or Ken writes every proposal for your group, never a template.
Nothing goes in your proposal that hasn't been confirmed. If a course or hotel is still subject to availability, that line says so in plain words.
It's a big promise for a young company, so we'll earn it one journey at a time: the best courses, a professional at your side and nothing left to chance.
