Cathedral Peak Hotel - golf course

Set in the Ukhahlamba Drakensberg Park (recently declared a World Heritage Site) lies Cathedral Peak Hotel with its spectacular golf course surrounded by the finest of the Drakensberg scenery. Located only 250km from Durban and 400km from Johannesburg the Cathedral Peak Golf course was designed and built by Roly Taylor with the collaboration of his well known brother, Reg.

The course has been aptly termed 'the thinking golfer's course' and was opened by Dayle Hayes on 13 January 1996. The Complete Golfer once stated 'Few courses in the World have a more spectacular setting and although it clearly has no pretensions to being a championship test, it must be added to the list of veritable gems among our country courses'. This challenging golf course has recently undergone quite extensive renovations and upgrades including the construction of 'Philip's Folly' - the new golf clubhouse. This upmarket facility incorporates change rooms, a pub, lounge area and terrace; it is the perfect 19th hole offering breathtaking mountain views, ideal for early evening sundowners after a great day's golf.
