Strand Golf Club is the only course separated from the sea by a narrow strip of land - along which Beach Road runs, situated close to the sandy beaches of False Bay.
This golf course is situated close to the sandy beaches of the False Bay in a peaceful area surrounded by sea and mountains. Ducks and swans glide gracefully on the beautiful water-holes. The new professionally designed course was developed on the site of the first course in the Hottentots-Holland Basin and was opened in 1994.
Erinvale Golf Estate is nestled at the foothills of the Helderberg and Hottentot Holland mountains in Somerset West and is one of South Africa’s wonderful golfing challenges. Erinvale’s unique mountain and ocean views make playing on this course an unforgettable experience.
This estate course has 2 distinctly different nines – the first being on flat, park-line terrain, coursing through the houses on the estate, while the second nine climbs up the lower slopes of the mountain. This 72 par course was designed by Gary Player and it played host to the 1996 World Cup of Golf.
Somerset West Golf Club is the oldest golf club in the area. It was officially founded in 1908. Until about 1985 the course was divided into 11 and 7 holes but with a change of the layout it became conventional.
The greens are fairly large, and under bent grass they are always in a good condition. The course is 5 930m long, and while it appears flat and easy, it is deceptive. Seven of the holes have water perils and most greens are guarded bunkers or hillocks.
