On the tee with Trevor Surf & Turf Special | 16 August R85 Be sure to join the tides at our clubhouse for our tasty Surf & Turf Lunch Special. With a glass of complimentary Drostdy Hof Claret A in hand, you can sink your teeth into a succulent 200g steak and pile of calamari for only R85. Is your mouth watering at the thought? Make a reservation here. Do you have what it takes? Ever thought how good you need to be in order to turn Pro? Have a look at these STATS!! These scores illustrate just how hard it is to get through the qualifying round. In 24 Monday qualifying rounds this last year, if you shot the following scores, you would have missed out in every single week: 67-67-67-67-65-68-69-66-69-67-67-68-67-69-69-68-72-68-67-65-66-65-67-68 So for fun, let’s try to work out what that relates to for a good young amateur on his home course. The average score that made it was less than 67. Let’s subtract two shots for the set-up of the golf course compared to your home course. 67-2 = 65. No pressure, let’s say another two shots. 65-2=63. So, even if you regularly shoot a 63 on your home course, you still would never get to the first tee at a PGA Tour event. Contact me to find out more.

Warm the winter blues Honey, we're going on a festive breakaway When winter comes whirling in, we usually take cover under heavy jackets, woolly jerseys and duvets. The biggest challenge each morning is put one toe out of bed onto the freezing tile floor! But winter can be fun, and warm, and snug. You just need the right people and the right setting! Before winter properly sets in, make way for our Winter Special! This includes a bed & breakfast and a complimentary glass of red wine or gluhwein. Relax after dinner with a hot cup of coffee in the one hand and dessert in the other. To book your winter retreat, call us on 051 871 4200 or info@blackmountainhotel.co.za.
