General Information
Arabella is a world class estate and with a rare gem of a golf course and lives up to its name which means “beautiful land”. The theme is balance. Challenging enough to bring you back for more, enjoyable enough to make you not want to leave. The design challenge was headed by the renowned architect Peter Matkovich. His undoubted success has resulted in a course that complements the environment without disappointing the golfer, whether expert or amateur.

Location
Kleinmond has grown from a holiday destination to little town. Many retired people have settled in this coastal town situated on a narrow strip between the sea and fynbos covered mountains. Kleinmond thrives during the holiday season and has a great beach and lagoon for the kids and lovely golf course for the Dads. The beach is not regarded as safe for swimming but is great for surf angling. The nearby Palmiet River offers swimming and kloofing. The town is situated less than an hours drive from Cape Town.
Directions
Travel out of Cape Town and follow the N2 east over Sir Lowry`s Pass. Take the R43 off-ramp and then turn immediately on to the R44 to Kleinmond/Botriver and follow the signs to the club.
