Royal Cape Golf Club - Wynberg, Cape Town

The Royal Cape Golf Club, located in Royal Cape Golf Club, is South Africa's oldest golf club, established in 1885. Known for its historical significance and beautiful setting, it was initially called the Cape Golf Club and played on sandy grounds in the area now known as Green Point. In 1910, the club received its "Royal" title by permission from King George V, becoming the Royal Cape Golf Club and solidifying its status as a premier golfing destination in the country.

In 1929, the course moved to its current location in Wynberg, Constantia, where it was redesigned and expanded. The new 18-hole course was crafted to complement the surrounding landscape, with the majestic Table Mountain serving as its backdrop. Over the years, the club has hosted prestigious tournaments, including multiple South African Open Championships and the South African Amateur Championships, further embedding itself in the history of South African golf. Today, the Royal Cape Golf Club attracts both local and international golfers who enjoy its well-maintained fairways, challenging layout, and historic charm.

This prestigious 18-hole, par-72 course offers players a challenging yet rewarding golfing experience. It stretches over 6,121 meters (6,694 yards) from the championship tees and provides a combination of tree-lined fairways, well-maintained greens, and strategically placed water hazards and bunkers.

The layout of the course is designed to test players of all skill levels, with particular attention required around its various water features, which add to the course's appeal and difficulty. The fairways are generally narrow, lined with trees, and demand precision and strategic planning. Known for its stunning views of Table Mountain, the course also presents wind challenges, especially in Cape Town’s changing weather conditions, further enhancing its reputation as a true test of golfing skill.

Facilities at Royal Cape Golf Club include a clubhouse with a bar and restaurant, a pro shop, a driving range, practice greens, and access to professional coaching. The club is a popular choice for local tournaments and has hosted multiple prestigious events, including the South African Open.
