Durbanville Golf Club, Cape Town (South Africa)
The Durbanville Golf Club began in 1971 on a course with very little grass, clay soil, a gravel car-park and no clubhouse. The course and the Club had been conceived by local amateur enthusiasts and approved by the community at a meeting at the Town Hall. The original layout was designed by Ken Elkin.
The Durbanville Golf Club has come a long way since those early days. The Durbanville Golf Club is located in the Northern Suburbs of Cape Town, just a 30 km drive or 25 minutes from Cape Town on the N1 freeway.
There are no steep hills to climb, nor thick jungle to swallow your golf ball. At the Durbanville Golf Club, you will find open space with beautiful fairways, bent grass greens the equal of any others, a course in immaculate condition. All in all, a wonderful setting for a game of golf with a view across the course to the distant mountains from the lounge bar, where you may enjoy your drink after the game.
The Durbanville Golf Club in Cape Town offers a special welcome to all visitors and has built up a reputation as one of the friendliest clubs around. The halfway house and catering facility offers freshly prepared snack style food combining quality and value for money. An outside seating area under thatched gazebos offers the opportunity to enjoy cool refreshing drinks and appreciate the surroundings. The well- stocked pro-shop is run by friendly staff and has golf cars, carts and clubs for hire.
Directions to the Durbanville Golf Club: northern suburbs of Cape Town, in Sports Road, Durbanville
From the N1, take the Durban Road exit.
Follow Durban Road straight up to Durbanville, where you will turn right at the traffic lights into Wellington Road. (The main road of Durbanville)
Hole 1 Par 4 Stroke 4 - 361 meters
A friendly start down a generous level fairway with a bunker on the right. A large green awaits a good long second shot.
Hole 2 Par 4 Stroke 16 - 288 meters
A great little par four, which dog legs to the right. Follow the narrow fairway and have a short iron into the green on the line of the clubhouse in the distance.
Hole 3 Par 4 Stroke 2 - 393 meters
A long par four slightly downhill with lovely vistas of distant farmland and hills. You'll be hitting long shots to the green through the narrow bush lined opening in the fairway and if you make par, you will be happy.
Hole 4 Par 3 Stroke 14 - 157 meters
Another good par three mainly into the wind. Bunkers around the green. Deceptive slope on the green makes putting the key here.
Hole 5 Par 5 Stroke 18 - 447 meters
A chance for a birdie on this slight uphill par five played with the wind. Trees and bush border the fairway but only wide enough to catch the very wild hooks or slices. Precise putting required on the sloping green.
Hole 6 Par 5 Stroke 10 - 465 meters
A road borders this hole on the left. So do not hook! - there is plenty of room on the right. The fairway is straight with a gentle downslope. The green is bunkered on both sides.
Hole 7 Par 3 Stroke 8 - 160 meters
A testing short hole especially into the prevailing summer south-easter wind. No trees or bushes to worry about but bunkers await. The putting surfaces on these greens are fast and smooth.
Hole 8 Par 4 Stroke 12 - 322 meters
A straightforward par four where you can open your shoulders with the driver as there is a wide area to aim at. A mid iron shot to a well bunkered green.
Hole 9 Par 4 Stroke 6 - 321 meters
Though the same length as the previous hole, the ninth has a more intimidating feel about it.The tee shot will find you on a gently uphill fairway to the Club House. Your iron shot to the green is a challenge as you cannot see the front bunker nor the fast, sloping putting surface.
Hole 10 Par 4 Stroke 3 - 333 meters
A testing start to the second nine holes. A tight dog-leg right which, if you push your tee shot, will find you in the trees. A mid-iron second to a raised green. A good golf hole.
Hole 11 Par 5 Stroke 7 - 459 meters
A straight par five into the summer wind. Scattered trees line the fairway and the views from this top side of the course are superb. The raised green overlooks the dam.
An excellent short hole over the side of the lake. This is a beautiful corner of the course with abundant bird life amongst the reed beds
Hole 13 Par 4 Stroke 17 - 300 meters
A short walk along the wall of the dam takes you to the thirteenth tee, set high up above the course where you'll want to stop a while to admire the spectacular view of the distant Club house and surrounding mountains. A short par four through an avenue of trees with a pitch shot to a spacious green. A chance for a birdie!
Hole 14 Par 4 Stroke 5 - 336 meters
The "Pulpit" hole - famous in Cape golfing circles. Your second shot has to reach the top of the fairway embankment with the green high above. Don't be short or your ball may roll 50 meters back towards you.
Hole 15 Par 5 Stroke 15 - 473 meters
The lower half of the course is laid out before you from this tee and you feel you could hit the ball forever. A gentle downhill par five bordered by some quality houses on the right.
Hole 16 Par 4 Stroke 1 - 402 meters
The toughest hole on the course, long and slightly uphill requires two very good hits to reach the green. There is plenty of space either side of the fairway, so open your shoulders.
Hole 17 Par 3 Stroke 13 - 196 meters
A long and deceptive short hole which requires a wood for many handicap golfers. The green is and inviting target, as it is below the level of the tee.
Hole 18 Par 4 Stroke 9 - 344 meters
Similar to the ninth hole, a gentle up slope back to the Club house. A fairway bunker on the right may catch a long drive with the wind. A challenging shot to the green must avoid the three well placed bunkers. A very fast sloping green.

The Milnerton Golf Course is an 18-hole, par 72 seaside golf course located in the suburb of Milnerton just 10 minutes north of Cape Town, South Africa. Surrounded by natural beauty, the Milnerton golf course nestles between the Atlantic ocean and the RietVlei river. This lush links-type golf course is relatively flat with few trees.
But with the sea and the lagoon bordering most holes, and the 7 beautiful water holes waiting to claim the wayward shot, it offers a truly unique golfing experience. Typical of many links-type courses, you will play the first 9 holes out, enjoy a light meal at the halfway house, and then return back to the clubhouse via the second 9.
On most holes of the Milnerton Links golf course, the sound of the waves breaking on the shore just metres away will remain long after your game is over. The spectacular view of Table Mountain from almost every hole is breathtaking, while the nature lovers will be thrilled at the abundance of water birds on the bordering river.

Mowbray Golf Courses

Mowbray Golf Course, Cape Town (Western Cape, South Africa)
The Mowbray Golf Club is recognized as being one of the best in South Africa with all major amateur championships having been played there. Mowbray has hosted the SA Open seven times and the Bells Cup three times. Set at the foot of Table Mountain, the Mowbray Golf Club is renowned for its breathtaking views, lush fairways and immaculate greens.
There are a variety and abundance of birdlife clusters around the water features. Experience the pleasure of teeing off down newly mown fairways, bordered by tall pines and indigenous trees. Mowbray invites you to join us in a memorable game of golf on our championship course; thereafter relax with friends as you look out onto the 18th from one of our comfortable lounges.
Set in a very central area about 15 minutes from the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront and in close proximity to the Cape Town International Airport, the Mowbray golf course is a parkland course, which provides an excellent test of golf. The terrain is flat, but plenty of trees and water features make for an interesting experience, with the beauty of the mountain and abundant wild life dominating the scenery.
A significant feature of any coastal golf course is the wind. This is where Mowbray is unique, in that the holes have been so laid out that you will seldom find yourself with the wind directly in your face or right at your back. Also, believe it or not, the wind in Mowbray / Pinelands is seldom as severe as in other parts of the Cape peninsula.
Both fairways and greens remain soft throughout the year on the Mowbray Golf Course. The fairways consist predominantly of kikuyu grass while the greens are paspalum which provide an excellent putting surface. Experiments with pure bent grass have not been successful, so the indigenous grass family variety is now being "managed", with more than satisfactory results.
While the course is not particularly long, the golfer will find Mowbray a real challenge. It is generally accepted that the S A Golf Union ratings of 71 from the back tees and 69 from the front make it about 2 or 3 strokes more difficult than average. Don't let this put you off, however. If you hit the ball straight, you'll do well and even if you go off line here and there, the rough is very forgiving and is kept well trimmed.

Newlands Golf Courses
.jpg)
Extensive work was done on the greens in 2000 to bring them up to the USGA standards and the course today is a fine test of golf and worthy of its championship rating. Essentially it is a very flat parkland course, well maintained and a pleasure to play with lovely views of the surrounding mountains. The fairways of the Royal Cape Golf Course are narrow, demanding extreme accuracy off the tee, wayward shots can be heavily penalized amongst the trees and the greens are well bunkered.
There is also plenty of water on the course, notably at the corner of the 3rd, 4th, 5th and also the 14th, 15th and 16th. The 4th and 15th are beautiful par-3's, the 15th in particular requiring a finely judged shot over the water which encroaches right up to the edge of the green. The most difficult holes are the par-4 3rd, at 435m the longest two-shotter on the course, and the par-4 14th, a dog-leg right played into the teeth of the prevailing south-easter and with water guarding the right front and side of the green.
Facilities: Royal Cape Golf Course
The Club facilities include a formal bar, a ladies bar, verandah and lounge. The golf club also has a "Halfway House" and Lunch facilities.
The practice chipping green is located alongside the 1st tee and includes a practice bunker.

Steenberg Golf Course at the Steenberg Hotel, Constantia Cape Town (South Africa)
The Steenberg Golf Club is an exclusive, private golf club located in the lush Cape Town suburb of Constantia in South Africa's Western Cape province. The Steenberg Estate is home to exclusive residential homes, the five star Steenberg Hotel, vineyards as well as the prestigious 18 hole Steenberg golf course.
The Steenberg golf course in Cape Town attracts golfers seeking a unique and challenging golfing experience. Known for its hybrid plan, the Steenberg golf course 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. The Steenberg Golf Estate 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. This Cape Town golf course 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 at Steenberg has seen many golfers enjoying the 19th hole.
