Royal Cape Golf Course

Royal Cape Golf Course

The oldest and most established course in South Africa seems to be its humblest course, too. Set in the background of Cape Town’s Table mountainous region and a pleasant 15-minute drive from the centre of the city, the Royal Cape Golf Club boasts stunning views of Devils Peak and the Table Mountain Range. The Club Opened on November 14, 1885 and has managed to evolve with golf over the past 120 years, while still preserving its remarkable heritage; an impressive accomplishment. It is a championship course of some repute and has hosted the prestigious South Africa Open numerous times.

Previous winners here include Gary Player, Ernie Els, Mark McNulty, and Trevor Immelman.

This flat parkland course has narrow tree-lined fairways, six water hazards, and fifty-eight well-placed bunkers to contend with, always well-groomed Royal Cape has terrific views of the Table Mountain range from just about every hole.

The famous “Doctor” or South Easterly wind of the Cape will keep you from tee to green on your toes guaranteeing a well-deserved feeling of accomplishment at the 19th hole. Royal Cape offers an excellent experience that is open all year round with its smooth running greens, immaculate fairways, and well-placed bunkers and water hazards. Royal Cape applies generously its greetings to any traveller wishing to engage in what will be one of the most memorable courses you’ve ever played on.

This is an absolute must play on your next golf trip to South Africa.
