Cape Golf Oy
PRO TOURS
We organise golf package trips to Cape Town in cooperation with Finnish golf pros. Pro Tours are 10 days long. The trip consists of 8-10 people and a golf pro who will teach you on the range and/or on the course to improve your golf game. The group will have a 300 square meter house at their disposal for the duration of the trip.
​
We will plan a preliminary program together with the golf pro who will be going on the trip. Once the group is assembled, we will hold a joint planning meeting with the group at the golf pro's home course well in advance of the trip. This will give the group members a chance to influence the final program. The days of the trip will always consist of either Golf Days or Activity Days. If the group has different wishes as to what they would like to do during the day, we can split the group into two parts. For example, if part of the group would prefer to play golf on a particular day and part would prefer to do a day trip to the vineyards, that can be arranged. The price of the trip is not affected by these choices, each day will include either golf or another activity. For details on prices, see the PRICES section.
​
If a group, or part of a group, also wishes to combine a golf trip with for example a safari, we will help them to find an option that suits their needs. However, these additional activities are booked and paid directly by the client to the third party service providers.
​
Here is an example of a program made in collaboration with Jouni Simanainen, a golf pro at Sarfvik Golf Club:
