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 penalized 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.

Course Etiquette 3 of 3: Follow the signs.

Stick to the walkways, respect the geofencing and keep the course in top shape.

Those signs are there for a reason.
Our course looks the way it does because every member, guest and staff member plays their part.

Look after it together, and it looks after us.

In 1923, This clubhouse was built by hand, its foundation laid in a ceremony that marked the start of a new era for the club.

A century on, it still stands as the heart of Royal Cape, South Africa’s oldest golf club, founded 1885.

Spotlight on our Lady Golf Captain - Angelika Steiner

On what the role means to her:
“What I value most is the wonderful sense of belonging we have in our ladies’ section. There’s a great vibe, lots of laughter and a real feeling of being connected.”

On encouraging women to give golf a try:
“Just give it a try! Everyone was a beginner once. Book a lesson with one of our pros, hit a few balls and take it from there. Don’t wait until you think your golf is ‘good enough’.”

On what makes the women’s community at Royal Cape so special:
“The friendships, without question. We compete, encourage each other and there’s always plenty of laughter — often at ourselves! Sharing the good rounds, the terrible ones and everything in between.”

💚 Whether you are a seasoned player or have never held a club — there’s a place for you here. Reach out and come join us.

Our Ladies Spring Lunch was everything the season deserves petals, pearls and the finest company.

Glynnis from Glynnis Newdigate guided our ladies through a beautiful flower experience, each guest crafting her own posy to take home.
