West-Kaap

Atlantic Beach Links

Atlantic Beach Links has had a major renovation done to its clubhouse and Practice facilities in 2021. The golf course as a whole has recovered tremendously well since the drought in 2019, the fairways are lush and the greens are the very best in Cape Town currently. As a member of Atlantic Beach Links I highly recommend our course to visitors you will not be disappointed.

Simola Golf & Country Estate

I played there yesterday with 8 friends and paid the highest price for golf ever - I am a regular player in Western Cape for 20 years. I expected the best, but was disappointed and will not return or recommend. The carts had no GPS/screen, no hole lay-out on T-box, no distance markers on sprayers, coloured posts for 50/100/200 only one side of fairway and no stroke saver booklets (like I got when they opened). If you enjoy walking in a manicured garden - go to Simola, but not for top class golf course!

Bellville Golf Club

Belleville GC is also located not far from the Durbanville Gc but a totally different course. Is is far more undulated and the course need far more thinking which club to use during your round. The driver is most of the time not the club to select. Also at this course friendly staff and a chat to the members will be helpful to get some information how to play the course. Maintenance is fine sometimes a bit dry due to lack of rain, but well playable. An interesting course to be played more as one time. Nice terrace and also views on the mountains gives you a nice golf day.

Durbanville Golf Club

Durbanville GC close to the Capetown airport in the Belleville suburb is a nice course to start your african your golf experience. The course is easy to walk with a trolley there are some water hazards but in general wide fairways and low rough. Reception is friendly and helpful and there are practice facilities to flex your body. maintenance of greens and fairways are fine. Further nice views on the Paarl mountains. Good service after your round for a drink or food. Enjoy.

Rondebosch Golf Club

The Rondebosch GC played again after some time and the course still in good condition. Of course it is a bit noisy but that you know before deciding to play. Maintenance of the course is good and practice facilities are limited. The course itself good to walk some undulation but also that makes it interesting. Green of hole 2,3 and 4 on the other side of the canal so be careful. The other holes some a bit straight forward but overall a fine round just before leaving as it is close to the airport.

Milnerton Golf Club

It has been some time ago that we played he Milnerton course. A nice links course adjacent to the Atlantic ocean. Also with nice views on the Table Mountains. Practice facilities available and check the greens on the speed. The nearly 5800 m from the yellow tees is a demanding course especial when the wind blow from the south west. Therefore the 1st 9 is mostly wind in the back but take care of the 2nd 9 playing into the wind and with the many water obstacles not easy. But enjoy a nice round of golf and if lost some balls you always have the clubhouse with friendly staff to serve you a drink and the views n the surrounding ensures you are coming back.

Westlake Golf Club

Another nice course close to the cape Town city is Westlake GC. The course is easy to play because it is flat but the mountain views around the course are very nice. Again fine practice facilities. The par 72 of around 5860 m is despite that is is flat very interesting to play, hole 6,8,11 and 18 water is in play around the greens. But a special enemy is the wind with circles around the old silver mines. Maintenance is good and the greens are all the same speed and well maintained. Nice clubhouse and terrace to finish your round with good feeling.

Clovelly Country Club

The Clovelly Country club is still one of the best courses in the cape Town region. On the south side and could be combined with visits to the most southern point of the Cape. The course is not that hilly and easily to walk. There are some undulated parts of the course but that makes it interesting. Further close to the sea and therefore wind an important factor. The parkland course lies in the middle of a lagoon. Also notice some huge sand-drift dunes situated against the mountain slopes. Good practice facilities and always fine to check the speed of the greens. The course is maintained very well and the nearly 5800m course has many water hazards and bunkers to keep you focus and concentration for a decent score. Nice clubhouse with views on the course and the surroundings is inviting to have some drinks or food after the round. The staff will make sure you are well served.

Uitdagende golfbaan, vooral met een portie wind die hier altijd voorhanden is. Dicht bij het water maar geen links course. Veel bomen ook, spectaculaire omgeving met bergen vlakbij. De moeite om eens te combineren met een uitstap in Kalkbaai!

Hermanus Golf Club

Of course when in the neighbourhood of Hermanus even when there are no whales with kids in the bay there is always the very nice 27 holes golf course. The clubhouse and staff is nice and you have all attention to assist you and answer your questions. The practice facilities are nice and advise to use them. The maintenance is also good even in times of lack of rain they make sure you can enjoy your round. There are nice views on the Valley of the Heldelberg mountains. The course is to walk with trolley a bit undulated but not a problem. The greefee have increased during the years also due to the fact it is always busy and not only with visitors from other countries. The course is also liked by south africans and in a quiet period you can join the competition on saturday and wednesday. There are also deer and springbokkies around to watch you while playing. Further the wind from the ocean can also be a big factor especially when playing in the afternoon. The terrace is very nice and good service also a pleasure to play.
