Steenberg Golf Course

 

The Steenberg Golf Club is an exclusive, private golf club set in idyllic surroundings in the suburb of Constantia, Cape Town.

The Steenberg golf course attracts golfers seeking a unique and extraordinary golfing experience. Known for its hybrid plan, it offers traditionalists the opportunity to “bump and run” (a rare shot in South Africa) in the rough around the greens, and to meet the challenges of strategically placed sand pits and waterways.

The par-three, not-so-short 14th hole, features the largest green in Africa at 76 meters in length; indigenous shrubs guard the green and the mound has been shaped to echo the distinctive mountain range behind. Steenberg has always been named as one of the best conditioned courses in South Africa Golf Digest’s annual Top 100, consistent in its improvement each year.

The 18 hole course was designed to make full use of natural features and hazards such as the vineyards, pine forest and gentle waterways. Its environmental diversity gives the course its unique character.  The Steenberg Golf Club is open to the public, but priority and special green fee rates are given to hotel guests and members. The well-designed and refurbished clubhouse has seen many golfers enjoying the 19th hole.
