Royal Cape Golf Club
One of the Finest Golf Courses in Cape Town
When exploring the most historic and enjoyable golf courses in Cape Town, few can match the charm and prestige of Royal Cape Golf Club. Established in 1885, it is the oldest golf club in South Africa and remains one of the most respected courses in the country.
Located just a short drive from Cape Town’s city centre and the international airport, Royal Cape offers a traditional parkland-style course framed by beautiful views of Table Mountain and Devil’s Peak. The layout is known for its mature trees, immaculate fairways, and carefully placed bunkers that reward thoughtful shot-making rather than pure power.
The course has hosted numerous prestigious tournaments, including the South African Open, and continues to attract both local golfers and international visitors looking to experience a classic South African golfing venue.
For players visiting Cape Town as part of a golf holiday, Royal Cape is often considered an essential round. Its combination of heritage, playability, and scenic surroundings makes it a memorable addition to any golf itinerary.
Whether you are planning a dedicated golf tour or simply adding a round during your stay in the Cape Winelands or Cape Town, Royal Cape Golf Club delivers a refined golfing experience steeped in tradition.
