Tee Off in Tranquillity: Discover Rivendell Retreat’s 9-Hole Par 3 Golf Course

Welcome to Rivendell Retreat, your river valley paradise — where privacy, peace, and purpose intertwine. Set within the untouched beauty of the Western Cape’s wilderness, Rivendell has always been a sanctuary for stillness and self-discovery. Now, guests can experience an inspired new way to unwind, recharge, and reconnect — through the art of golf.

Introducing our exclusive 9-hole Par 3 golf course — a serene and scenic escape for those who appreciate both leisure and landscape.

Golf in Perfect Harmony with Nature

Carved gently into the contours of the valley, Rivendell’s Par 3 course blends the game’s timeless elegance with the natural rhythm of the land. Each hole has been thoughtfully designed to complement the surrounding wilderness — framed by riverbanks, rolling greenery, and distant mountain views.

This is not golf as you know it — it’s golf reimagined as relaxation.

Whether you’re perfecting your short game or simply enjoying a quiet afternoon outdoors, every swing comes with an unmatched sense of calm. The only sounds you’ll hear are the birds overhead, the soft babble of the river, and the satisfying echo of your shot drifting through the stillness.

Sustainable Luxury, Naturally

True to Rivendell’s eco-luxury ethos, the golf course was created with respect for the environment. Solar-powered systems, natural irrigation using filtered river-fed water, and native flora ensure the course exists in harmony with the valley that inspired it.

Each fairway and green invites mindfulness — an unhurried rhythm where every step feels restorative. Here, play is not about competition, but connection — to yourself, your surroundings, and the present moment.

A Perfect Balance: Wellness Meets Recreation

At Rivendell, balance lies at the heart of everything we do. After a morning of yoga beside the river or a dip in the eco-pool, a leisurely round of golf becomes the ideal way to stretch, breathe, and enjoy the open air.

And when you’re done? Head to our 19th Hole Bar — a relaxed space to enjoy a refreshing drink, toast the view, and simply be. It’s a moment of joy and lightness that completes your day of serenity.

A Course Designed for Connection

Our 9-hole Par 3 is intentionally intimate — a space to share with your partner, close friends, or simply enjoy alone. In keeping with Rivendell’s philosophy of exclusivity, guest access is limited, ensuring your game remains private and uninterrupted.

It’s golf without crowds, without rush, and without distraction — just focus, flow, and the freedom to play at your own pace.

Fly In. Switch Off. Tee Off.

For those arriving from afar, Rivendell offers fly-in access — making it easier than ever to escape to your private river valley retreat. Step off the plane, breathe in the mountain air, and find yourself standing on the first tee within minutes.

At Rivendell Retreat, every experience is designed to restore balance — body, mind, and soul. Our new Par 3 course is simply another pathway to that peace.

Come as you are. Explore what you can be.Tee off beneath wide African skies and discover what tranquillity truly feels like.
