The tenth (a par 4)and 12th (par 5) are expected to be the toughest holes, especially in the North Wester, whilst the 18th (a par 5) is a great finishing hole.
A unique feature of the course is the cart path on the 18th hole which crosses an old aquaduct that used to accommodate the irrigation water for the farms all the way down to Swellendam.
The town itself has undergone a metamorphosis and wine tasting boutiques, trendy restaurants and art galleries line the main road. Its' wide Jacaranda-lined avenues boast many historical cottages that have been tastefully refurbished.
Robertson Wine Valley forms part of the longest wine route in the world, Route 62. Boasting a large number of cellars, co-operatives and private estates, the award winning wines will be a treat for all wine lovers.

History
The 5 year old golf course is a result of the vision and determination of one man: developer Mark Brumer. Despite many setbacks and hold-ups, largely by the Department of Environmental Affairs and Developmental Planning, the project took much longer to complete than its original launch date of 2004.
“But looking at the result today there could not be a prouder man”, says Brumer. “It has been worth the wait, but all the credit should go to the superb team of professionals and contractors who stuck by me through this entire process”.
The elevated stands in Silwerstrand’s most exclusive area, Riverside, has magnificent views of the Breede River, the vineyards and the mountains surrounding the picturesque Breede Valley.
The Silwerstrand Golf & River Estate is still one of the most affordable golf estates in the Cape. It consists of 168ha’s of prime land bordered by 1.5km of the Breede River and is just 2km south west of the rural town of Robertson.
Hole Information
Use the arrows to move to next/previous hole.
Hole 1
PAR 5
STROKE 18
Short par 5 to start with. With your tee shot aim just right of the blue gum tree and beware of the canal on the left-hand side. Green is guarded with deep bunkers on the left & right side.
Sponsors:
Hole 2
PAR 4
STROKE 12
This par 4 requires an accurate tee shot with out of bounds on the left and trees on the right. After a good tee shot you are left with a short iron to the green. Do not go long because of low hanging trees at the back of the green.
Sponsors:
Hole 3
PAR 3
STROKE 16
Beautiful par 3 that plays back to the clubhouse. The river comes into play for bad tee shots and the green is guarded with a grass bank on the left and two bunkers on the right. Delicate chip shot if you miss the green.
Sponsors:
Hole 4
PAR 4
STROKE 6
Par 4; Standing on the tee all your problems are to the left and lots of bail out space to the right. Houses on the left are out of bounds but the trees may catch (deflect) your ball to help you to stay in play. Elevated green requires accurate shot with water on the right and bunker on the left.
Hole 5
PAR 5
STROKE 8
Par 5 with two fairway bunkers in play with the tee shot. After an accurate second shot you are left with a short iron to an elevated green. Do not miss the green to the left as it will leave you with a difficult pitch.
Hole 6
PAR 4
STROKE 10
Short par 4 with lots of space standing on the tee. Two fairway bunkers are in play for the longer hitters. Stay out of the difficult bunker front left of the green. One of the easier holes on the course.
Hole 7
PAR 3
STROKE 14
Signature par 3 with island green surrounded by water. This beautiful hole requires an accurate tee shot. If you find the water, you are still left with a challenging pitch. Playing a par is a good score.
Sponsors:
Hole 8
PAR 4
STROKE 4
Difficult driving hole with water on the right and fairway bunkers on the left. After a good drive you are still faced with a long accurate second shot. There is a severe slope if you miss your shot to the right with bunkers left and right of the green. A par is an excellent score for this hole.
Sponsors:
Hole 9
PAR 4
STROKE 2
One of the longer par 4’s on the course playing back to the clubhouse. After a good tee shot you are still faced with a long shot to the green, guarded with a bunker on the left. If you miss the green - smart play will be short or to the right.
Sponsors:
Hole 10
PAR 4
STROKE 3
One of the most difficult holes on the course. Beware of the three bunkers to the right-hand side of the fairway and the dam on the left. After an accurate tee shot you are still faced with a long second shot. Do not miss the green to the left, as it will leave you with a difficult pitch
Sponsors:
Hole 11
PAR 3
STROKE 13
Requires tee shot with good distance control. The pot bunker in front of the green is very much in play. Over the green leaves you with a challenging shot.
Sponsors:
Hole 12
PAR 5
STROKE 9
A slightly uphill hole that requires an accurate tee shot to the left of the fairway bunkers. This hole is well bunkered to the right and left of the green and an accurate approached shot is required. Do no miss the green to the right or left of the green as it will leave you with a difficult pitch.
Hole 13
PAR 4
STROKE 7
A shorter hole with bunkers on the left and water on the right when you stand on the tee box. Rather miss the fairway to the left. An accurate approach shot is required because of a bunker to the left and dam to the right of the green.
Sponsors:
Hole 14
PAR 3
STROKE 15
You are faced with a long and narrow green when standing on the tee box. Difficult pitch if you miss the green to the left or right. Playing a par on this hole is an excellent score.
Sponsors:
Hole 15
PAR 4
STROKE 1
Long and difficult hole with lots of bunkers in play with your tee shot. Finding the fairway to set up a par is very important. Pot hole bunker in the middle of the fairway is in play for the shorter hitters. Beware of the bunker short left on the green.
Hole 16
PAR 4
STROKE 17
One of the shorter holes on the course. You do not have to use a driver off the tee because of the 4 bunkers well positioned. An accurate shot to an elevated green will set up an easy par or possible birdie.
Sponsors:
Hole 17
PAR 4
STROKE 5
Difficult hole that requires an accurate tee shot. A river running across the fairway means that the driver is sometimes not the right club to use, depending on the wind. Your second shot is slightly uphill and this hole is playing one club longer than you think. This green is guarded by three bunkers and a par is an excellent score on this hole.
Hole 18
PAR 5
STROKE 11
Signature hole on the back nine with beautiful views. Bunkers and the river are in play standing on the tee box. After a good drive you are left with an accurate tee shot. Do not miss the green to the left because the dam is very much in play. Good finishing hole.
