We played Milnerton at the end of our holiday at 7am on the day of our return trip. At first there was almost no wind and later only light winds. So you can play a good score on this course. Although it is located directly on the sea or the lagoon, the holes are quite spacious, which makes it much easier to play in contrast to Atlantic Beach. Warped balls don't always go away. Given the conditions we encountered, there were almost no ball losses.
The condition was good. Only the signage was just about inadequate. The really essential information was appropriate. But almost everything else was missing. But since this is supposed to be fixed in the coming months, I don't want to deduct it here.
On Mondays and Tuesdays you can play the course as an “affiliated” for €15 per person per round (special offer). That's absolutely a bargain. But the normal price is also quite reasonable. We played with a young man who lives on site and it took us just over 3 hours. That was great too.
Overall, it was a successful conclusion, because at many tees you either stand directly on the sea or at least with a direct view of the nearby Table Mountain. That's great and, in that sense, unique.

Relaxed round of golf right by the sea
Reviewed December 16, 2023
I played Milnerton GC on December 4th, 2023.
I was charged a good €80 for 18 holes, cart and rental clubs.
The staff at the pro shop were very helpful as I showed up without a prior booking.
I then played the flight with a local.
Although the condition may not come close to that of Pinnacle or similar, it was more than sufficient for a relaxed round of golf for a hobby golfer. The greens were perfect. Topographically, this course may not be exceptional. In my opinion, this is no different directly behind the dunes, so to speak, on the beach. Others have already mentioned the unique view of Table Mountain and the proximity to the city.
It remains to be added that this is an old-school links course where you basically play 9 holes in one direction and then 9 holes back. The course is not necessarily suitable for a “9-hole intermediate round”.

Surprisingly good
Reviewed January 12, 2020
Frankly, this place surprised me extremely positively. Without great expectations, I drove to the Milnerton Golf Club early in the morning on January 7th, 2020. My tea time request was registered but the time was not confirmed. Nevertheless, I got a tee time and the super nice starter put me in a three-flight even earlier. Of course, a place by the sea is flat, but there is no other way here. But what has been done here from the simple terrain with the magnificent view of Table Mountain is a links course of the finest kind. I did not expect that. Good condition, especially the greens. Overall conclusion: Highly recommended - and for little money.

A banal golf highway - up and down
Reviewed January 6, 2019
The only real attraction of this golf course is the fabulous view on the Tafelberg. but you can also pay without green fee.
Otherwise the place is a boring, flat, almost obstacle-free golf highway. It only gets tricky when the autumn wind / storm, which is typically strong for cape town, sets in. if you need golf with a sea view, atlantic beach (10km north) is more challenging and exciting to play.

Space was well playable despite water scarcity. Many players suburb. Greens in excellent condition. Strong wind on the coast was quite a challenge. Is recommended. Price performance for SA I think alright.

Flat place with dream view
Reviewed December 8, 2017
Had luck with the wind, otherwise it could be a lottery game. The place is beautifully placed in the landscape, great views of the sea, Table Mountain, etc. Despite the water scarcity, the place was ok, the Nile geese left a lasting impression. We were traveling with a member, very friendly and a very relaxed round.
Price information on the homepage only partially correct. With SA-Golfpass very cheap or in the company of a member as well, but otherwise you pay around 40 € per round. Is appropriate for the place.
Morning is rather busy, in the afternoon less, but then the wind comes reliably into play.

Links course
Reviewed November 3, 2017
Have played the course on 1.11.2017. Were very disappointed. The place is neglected the fairways eg. on the 18 not available. The view of Table Mountain the bay and Cape Town compensates something. Only the greens were well maintained.

Super place - but the wind!
Reviewed March 18, 2017
The joy of course depends on whether one is experiencing a very windy day or not. During my visit it was more of the stormy side. The second 9 holes have therefore made little fun. Nevertheless, it is a very nice, varied and tidy kept place. From individual holes one has a fantastic view of the city center of Cape Town and Table Mountain.

Great Views!
Reviewed February 22, 2017
Played the course in rather stormy conditions. The condition of the greens and fairways is good why can the same be said about the price-performance ratio. From layout to ensure there are specialized courses in the Cape region but the links course with holes on the seafront is a welcome change to the Parkland Country courses. Who is not afraid to fight with the well here normally present wind rewarded with spectacular views of Cape Town / Table mountain!

The MILNERTON-GC, The is located on a headland on the Atlantic Ocean, north of Cape Town.
Today we have a generally windy day, which becomes especially unfavorable aspects in this Golf Club. The wind is so strong that even when putting - even at short distance - verbläst the ball!!
The view of Table Mountain, Lions Head, Signal Hill and the World Cup Stadium - on the beach and the bay of time - is very impressive. This is also the reason why you should play this course again. Otherwise, the place in a generally good maintenance condition with good greens. The Back Nine in I found beautiful, because more water came into the game, but we had most substantial headwinds, so you always have two bats had to play more. But as the wind was often slanted the ball was additionally blown aside.
We paid 550 round because an agency had booked us on the pitch. Officially it costs 650. It is thus an attempt to trade value.
Since the morning the wind is less experience shows, t should play as early as possible.

Links almost perfect
Reviewed January 24, 2017
The place is fantastically below Table Mountain. It borders on the Atlantic Ocean and the view can be really nice.
Unless you play on the east side, it's rather a busy main road.
Unfortunately somewhat dense development which the LINKS feeling something can fall into the background.
The GREENS top condition. The fairways, despite the lack of water in the Western Cape region amazingly green. But all in all a bit unkempt.
Great Dining overlooking beautiful beach and Table Mountain.
Played at Beaufort. 9
Despite 2er Eagles a 88. At 2.9 the storm comes just in advance :-)
Conclusion:
Very fun who prefers the experience the score!

Links Golf with stunning views
Reviewed November 24, 2016
We (HCP 6 and 13) have the space in 2014.2015 played twice. If you do not provide the score to the fore, but a typical links course with all its peculiarities (noticeable wind, pot bunkers, ...), while a fascinating view of Table Mountain - by basically any web of - then you are at the right place. No high-end place, but still a game worth.

Storm at the foot of Table Mountain
Reviewed July 10, 2016
Played on 11/26/2015, HCP 12
Actually simple layout to - not overly long (5.771m from the regular men's tees), wide fairways, fast, but hardly undulating greens and faithful. No real "British" links, but close...
Some large (left-atypical) water hazards that you should take from the game.
Only the Wind (rather already Sturm) makes the course challenging. The front nine is played with mostly the second then upwind. The greens are then probably for most players were no longer "in regulation" reachable. Bats, which are usually good for a whopping 150m, then create just good 100 - but alas, the ball has even the slightest lateral twist ... (!)
Scenic makes the place not so bad like much. Highlights are some great views of Table Mountain and auf's sea (so-called. "Lateral sea view"). Otherwise the landscape is rather sparse, also are much more houses on the fairway edges, leading eg to the fact that on track 6 (actually a par 5) the reduction in the 100m is advanced - from behind is only played at official tournaments because otherwise too many drives in the houses right of the fairway hit... part come even skyscrapers in the view and some busy main roads run right past close - the traffic noise is only under the storm.
After all, the maintenance status of the system is quite good.
A cart is required only because of the wind - simply to save power - when (according to prevailing local opinion but almost never occurring) wind could cope with the place easy on foot.
Conclusion: re-offending rather low, although not entirely excluded. Because of the nice views of Table Mountain, the challenge to play in strong winds left-like golf and the good maintenance condition very brief 3 stars (the "Golf Ranking Bear": 5 out of 10 points).

Spectacular
Reviewed January 27, 2015
Interesting holes, beach, beautiful views of Table Mountain and Cape Town.
Challenging to play in the wind. Private Hcp is in the background and unimportant. This place is definitely one of a Gulf tour.
Played on a Monday, and much waiting. This is because every Monday is Senieronentag and the place is overcrowded. So best not to play on Monday.

The first 3 holes have a beautiful view of the sea. The rest is not very well maintained and not abwechlungsreich. The food in the HalfWayHouse is unpalatable to use the toilets in the clubhouse with overcoming. The Back Nine playing against the wind that blew our trolleys and over again. The place is cheap, but once is enough.

I would give this place a perfect score
Reviewed December 7, 2014
We play the course at any of our Aufentalte in the Cape region. Time with wind - which is actually a challenge - sometimes with less wind. Each with caddies. Especially here's Caddy Dany to mention he has a really good eye. The location of the place is great, the view of the Talberg and Cape Town as well. The course is well maintained and the greens fast.

Enjoyed space even in a storm
Reviewed March 3, 2014
I had the room for our last day (in the evening return flight) booked as a buffer and nothing special offers. When it then also rushed, I was due to the previous reviews almost inclined to cancel the booking. Good thing I did not do it!
Certainly the individual holes are not spectacular, but that makes the view of the bay and Table Mountain loose again for that!
We took a trolley, we have always put down because of the storm after repeated tipping over when parking. A cart is not required.
In spite of the storm, there has likely been a lot of fun to play in Milnerton, then even if a par 4 hole loose times at a par 5 (or even par 6). On vacation it's not only about points.
After playing we ate on the sheltered terrace and enjoy the holiday with a longing glance at Table Mountain.

In suitable wind for masochists and otherwise nothing special
Reviewed February 18, 2014
The lady at the reservation made a rather not so customer-oriented impression and always answered in monosyllables. After several inquiries, but all questions were then answered.
The place itself is reminiscent of the layout is not really a links course. The wind already! We made the mistake of playing on a windy day at the Waterfront, which corresponded to a hurricane on the golf course. In the first nine hitters I benötgte as a driver and a maximum of a 9 iron However, that changed mightily on the back 9. I had no chance, apart from the par 3 to achieve even a hole in regulation. Example: Par 4 350 yards: Good Driver, very good 3-wood and then a 6-iron to the green. Since you can already despair.
The layout is not particularly attractive, the driving range can only be reached by car and is only approved up to 5 iron. The overall atmosphere but leaves much to be desired. And the caddies are best suited for carrying the bag. We have typed pure Mitlieid.
I would play the course, even at moderate wind speeds, not again.

Table Mountain with Eyes
Reviewed February 7, 2013
The price - performance ratio is right. With little wind, overlooking the landmark of Cape Town, Table Mountain, comfortable to play and a challenge for all ability groups. The most typical links course, requires accurate play, not constantly looking in the Rough hard balls. A few more balls take no harm. Sunset almost to destruction, a highlight.
