Clovelly Country Club

There is plenty happening at Clovelly as we welcome spring! 🌿

We celebrate Fish Hoek High School’s WP High School League victory, Evan Marais representing South Africa in Italy, and an extraordinary five holes-in-one during August! Congratulations to Kean Dry, Quinton Crowster, Liam Robinson, Riefaat Meyer and Mark Chambers.

Around the Club, work continues on the 3rd hole, including the culvert and cart path, new trees, and further progress on the green and bunkers. Our refreshed Halfway House menu is also ready, with new options joining some familiar favourites.

Hollow tining takes place on Monday and Tuesday, 7 and 8 September. Preparations begin this afternoon, with no nine-hole golf or driving-range access, and the Club will be closed during the work.

The first coot chicks have appeared on the dam and our no-mow areas are being left to flower. With Western Leopard Toads also on the move, please travel slowly and carefully along Clovelly Road, for the wildlife, children, pets and people who share this special corner of the valley 💛

A look back at the week at Clovelly ⛳

The transformation of our 3rd hole continued this week, with the project remaining firmly on schedule. Following the careful removal and shaping process, the green surface is complete, the irrigation system has been reinstated and the original turf is being painstakingly relaid. Work has also begun on the greenside bunkers and swale, with tree planting, fairway bunker work and the new pathway still to come. We remain on track to reopen during the week of 21 September.

Tuesday brought another proud moment when our very own Katia Shaff officially graduated as a PGA Professional. This is a wonderful achievement, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have Katia as part of the Clovelly team as she begins this exciting chapter in her career!

We also celebrated some golfing magic from Kean Dry, who made a hole-in-one on our 19th hole this past Saturday. Congratulations, Kean! 🎉

Well done, Luke! We're so proud of you 👏👏👏

We’ve had another excellent week for golf. Our 15th hole is officially open again and winter is spoiling us with lovely, sunny, wind-free days. There is nowhere else we would rather be!

In addition to the beauty at home, we’ve had some outstanding golf from our members. Congratulations to the below golfers on flying the Clovelly flag so high! We’re a proud club.

🏆 Junior Golf: Congratulations to Evan Marais on his victory at the Erinvale Junior Championship. He had a brilliant level-par finish, before holding his nerve to win in a playoff. Zach Potgieter finished 3rd, adding to another 3rd-place finish at the Milnerton Junior Open the previous week. Luke Jacobs secured 7th, with Adam Perring finishing 10th, giving Clovelly an incredible four juniors in the top 10 at Erinvale!
