Royal Cape Golf Club

FROM RUGGED TO ROYAL

The history of Royal Cape had it's beginning on the 14th of November 1885 when a meeting, chaired by Lt. General Sir Henry Torrens, was held at the Castle "for the purpose of introducing the game of golf and starting a club for the same." Thus the Cape Golf Club, the first in South Africa, was born.

Royal Cape Golf Club has a rich history that spans 130 years of proud tradition with the magnificent view of Table Mountain, one of the official New 7 Wonders of Nature.

THE COURSE

Royal Cape has evolved into what is is today, a classic 18-hole championship parkland course- tree lined with narrow fairways, subtle USGA spec built greens and challenging bunkers.

Royal Cape provides a fine test of golf and is without doubt one of the best and most challenging courses to play both in the Western Cape and the country.

Although the course is on flat terrain, the playing of Royal Cape is subject to three of nature’s beguiling offerings: a near constant wind to challenge you, sweeping mountain views to charm you and water features to ensnare you.

Royal Cape Golf Club has hosted the SA Open on ten occasions as well as many other professional and top amateur events. Winners at Royal Cape includes Gary Player & Ernie Els.

Royal Cape is designed to accommodate players of all skill levels, and visitors are most welcome to join us for a truly memorable golfing experience.
