Royal Cape Golf Club

Royal Cape Golf Club Royal Cape Golf Club is a true championship course having hosted the South African Open no less than But don't be deceived by its apparent easiness.
(416)

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 are narrow, demanding extreme accuracy off the tee, wayward shots can be heavily pena

lized 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.

Mat Rushton finding a way through the trees on 18, shaping a draw around our fairway pines to give himself a look at birdie.

Our trees are not just scenery, they are part of the challenge and watching a pro thread the needle through them is a reminder of why this course has tested the best for over a century.
