Not fit for play as 18 hole course
Reviewed March 15, 2018
Played course on 9 March 2018 after the opening of the new nine holes. Was told by the club manager prior to booking that the course was in tremendous condition. Was charged 500 rand per person, this was more expensive than the Strand, George Old Course, Goose Valley and countless other courses we played along the garden route.
After playing 10>18 first we found the course was not fit for play. It was a building site more GUR than playable land. The greens were good and the layout ha potential in years to come. Continued to play the front nine which was the original course. Was in better condition but not memorable. On complaining to manager that they should not be charging for 18 holes of golf he said I was the first complaint, this is hard to believe as three members playing in front were apologetic about the course and surprised we had been charged the fee stated. Not recommended, there are better options around

Price-performance for South Africa is missing
Reviewed November 17, 2023
First price update: 700 Rand, cart 420 Rand each for 18 holes.
A train route runs right through the golf course and the proximity to road traffic (noise) is clearly audible!
The tracks themselves are back and forth a lot; the challenge is the wind in this region.
The positive: the greens are well maintained and fast. The staff is friendly.

Good price / performance ratio
Reviewed November 15, 2019
Today on 15.11.19 played in a beautiful golf weather and a little wind. Fairways and greens were in very good condition.
The criticized in previous reviews extension to 18 holes has paid off. Much has already grown well.
Relatively short. The holes on the other side of the underpass give a links course feeling.
Via golfteetimes. co.za booked with 21% discount. For two persons with car, which is not absolutely necessary, ZAR 950 paid.

Space fits absolutely
Reviewed January 5, 2019
Meanwhile, behind the railroad, the new holes are ready. They are in the left style, difficult and challenging. Especially in the afternoon with the wind an experience. From our point of view an 8/10, especially for the price more than expected. A bit spacious and the first nine holes strongly distributed on the area. Greens are great, the new ones are very undulating, fast and exciting.
Any time. Also for the beer in the clubhouse (large selection of open bar).

Can you play
Reviewed February 16, 2018
Played on 16.02.2017! Reception friendly place not too demanding, where in 2 weeks the new 9 holes are opened, space and condition was great for the dry time, have seen places where minimum twice the cost and almost no green areas had! Give the club a chance price performance ok

Easily converted agricultural area
Reviewed January 26, 2018
Played on 26.1.2018. Even considering the general dryness and a nice pitching area, a star is really enough. Basically it is a 9 hole course. Slightly offset 2nd haircuts (if findable) are for the 2nd Nine. Moderately marked trying to create new haircuts. Supposedly it will be a real 18 hole course. Basically a flat course framed with a few trees cost the pP 370 Rand for 18 holes.

Alternative for very little money
Reviewed November 19, 2015
On a Wednesday, where other places were fully booked, we were given a starting time here. Very nice, uncomplicated, helpful reception.
The greens were well kept, the situation between some roads has, we did not like, but at the price of 23 euros converted - what one wants to complain because...
An uncomplicated alternative in Somerset West.

Well, that was something else in South Africa!
Reviewed February 7, 2014
After... the great places like De Zalze, Erinvale or Pearl Valley today it was simply a difference! The place is less well maintained, the tracks are very dry, you have to cross a couple of times an unsecured railway line and highway, if you can take this with humor...
Here mainly play the South African Golf... it is simple and yet good - price / performance is good - 18 holes for 200 Rand!
