From the restaurants to the beaches to the scenery at Cape Point, there are countless great reasons to visit Cape Town. But for many travellers it’s the chance to tackle some of South Africa’s best golf courses, which you’ll find in and around the city.
Cape Town’s dramatic scenery offers the perfect backdrop for a round of golf, whether you’re teeing up on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean for memorable city views across Table Bay, or wandering fairways framed by the peaks of the Table Mountain National Park. Some are approachable nine-hole tracks, while others are championship layouts that will challenge even low-handicappers. Most golf courses in Cape Town are run as private clubs, but warmly welcome visitors. Club and golf cart rentals are available at all courses, via the pro-shop, which also handles bookings. Some courses allow online bookings.
Cape Town’s friendly nature means that you’ll be welcomed to join a four-ball, or follow it up with a few rounds in the vibrant ‘19th Hole’ at each course. Where to begin? Pack your bags – and perhaps a few extra balls – and tee up for the Time Out guide to the best golf courses in Cape Town.
