Rondebosch
Rondebosch Golf Club: Like Mowbray GC, its immediate neighbour to the north, Rondebosch is located less than 10km from Cape Town's famous Waterfront district, and is also flanked by one or two of Cape Town's communication routes.
The northern boundary of the course is delineated by the Black River (a canal), the southern boundary by the busy M5 Highway. Three of the most attractive holes are located the furthest away from the road, tightly wrapped around a sweeping bend in the canal.
Like its neighbour, many of the holes are nicely tree-lined, and water hazards and good bunkering provide additional solid defences on many holes. With its proximity to the centre of Cape Town and wonderful vistas onto Table Mountain and Devil's Peak, Rondebosch is a popular golf course with both local and visiting golfers.
In addition to its mix of natural and distinctly more urban views, it also boasts a variety and abundance of flora and fauna, home to a variety of bird life from cormorants and kingfishers to wild ducks and egrets.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and Sundays; no visitors on Saturdays until after 4pm.
Must book in advance. Handicap required
Walking permitted at all times. Golf carts available for hire. Caddies available.
Rondebosch Golf Club, like its neighbour Mowbray, was established, in part, as a by-product of the Cape Golf Club's move in 1910 to a new location in Ottery.
Many members of the Cape GC (later Royal Cape) were not keen to travel the extra 10km south to the new location. The Mowbray and Rondebosch clubs were soon established, both of them just north of Rondebosch Common, the former home of the Cape GC. Rondebosch occupies lands that previously made-up the Frazerdale Farm.
Rondebosch has hosted South African Sunshine Tour events.

The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).
Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).
Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with four wins out of her last four appearances on the LPGA Tour, a feat last achieved by Lorena Ochoa in 2008. Korda's win at the T-Mobile Match Play brought up her 12th LPGA Tour victory.
Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda’s three-in-three, when he placed second at the Houston Open. This followed back-to-back wins at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players. Like Korda, he remains comfortably ahead in the official world golf rankings.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
Here at Prince’s Golf Club you'll find 27 excellent holes of links golf.

Stay&Play at Prince's: excellent onsite Lodge accommodation available
