Bringing Your Spouse? Plenty of Activities Await

One of the biggest advantages of a group golf trip in Cape Town is that it does not only have to be about golf. For those thinking to traveling with spouses, there’s plenty to do while you’re on the course, making it the perfect trip for both golfers and non-golfers.
