CONCIERGE SECRETS

AMW Faves List

Favorite Par 3 -#14: A lovely design unfolding over a tranquil pond, where reflections shimmer and time seems to slow. A sweet, unassuming bench rests nearby, inviting you to sit, breathe, and fully take in the scene the water, the light, the quiet before gathering yourself and moving on to the next hole.
Favorite Par 4 -#17: It’s a true tester demanding your full attention. It rewards the challenge with sweeping views that linger long after the shot is struck.
Favorite Par 5 -#7: Uphill to an elevated green, the climb adding both distance and intrigue as the putting surface reveals itself only at the last moment.
Favorite Hole Design -#11: A beautiful uphill test of skill, rewarded with stunning views from the green, where your gaze stretches back toward the ocean and across to Cape Town.
Easiest Hole -#2: A sweet, uncomplicated par 3 that asks for a confident swing and rewards it with simple, timeless charm.
Hardest Hole -#6: A challenging par 4 that saves much of its intrigue for the finish, with a series of subtle tests in and around the green demanding precision, imagination, and a steady nerve.
Favorite Extra Sighting –“Smell the fynbos” sign on the cart path heading up to the 10th tee
Favorite Après Golf -Relaxing in the clubhouse with lovely views
