Quite a disappointment
Reviewed January 20, 2016
I am 8 Hcp pkayer.
The course lacks any finess.
The fairways are dried out, the first cut is impossible to play off and the greens are much too slow.
The driving range is also if very low standart.

Better village field
Reviewed January 24, 2024
I played Steenberg today and, along with my flight partner, I was shocked at the bad grass! That definitely doesn't justify this high price. The tee boxes were like rough, coarse African grass, and on the fairways there were sometimes up to three types of grass. Although there was certainly no lack of water, the area looked like it was poorly watered. The further the lanes were from the clubhouse, the worse it got!
The layout is very attractive, but 2300 Rand including the trolley is clearly too much. Clovelly is not far and shines with beauty and almost perfect lawn.
A missed opportunity!

Pure luxury. Upscale clientele. Very well-kept place.

Pure luxury. Upscale clientele. Very well-kept place. Green and nothing burned so far. Beautiful parkland course. Flat fairways, many bunkers that complicate the game to get straight to the green. Otherwise, the less sporty course.
Many birds and squirrels accompany you on the round. Signature Hole is hole 7, par 3 with island green in the water. Looks wonderful with the great plants, jetty and small waterfall. Friendly staff with a high service orientation.
Tip: Steenberg offers a lot more to enjoy the day - after the round we recommend lunch in the bistro of the winery (sixteen82) followed by wine tasting.

Beautiful facility in top condition
Reviewed January 12, 2018
Plant in absolute top condition. The tracks themselves are sometimes a bit boring, but the views compensate for everything. No real signature hole, but the overall impression is outstanding.
The staff leaves a somewhat ambiguous impression and gives the guest the feeling of being tolerated rather than welcome. Our first tee time booking was taken by a very nice lady who also gave the credit card details for booking. Unfortunately, the start time was "gone". With the second booking it worked, the staff in the Proshop was quite disinterested. Too bad, but very nice 18 holes have compensated us. Not very cheap, 3000 Rand are already fierce for South African conditions.

Nice facility in very good condition
Reviewed November 28, 2017
We have played 10 places around Cape Town and this place is one of the most beautiful and well-kept places, but also to a high price for SA. The tracks are very well laid out, always special challenges, but in every HCP group to create.
Despite very well booked day always regulated process, friendly and nice.
A visit to the site with a small champagne or wine tasting is also worthwhile.

Beautiful area, poor condition
Reviewed March 13, 2016
We played on 03/10/2016 in Steenberg and have almost paid the full green fee (small discount only for night in the enclosed hotel). As written previously, the greens are unfortunately in such a bad condition that half is dried up and the green fee is therefore not appropriate. Otherwise, the place is nicely laid out and designed interesting. Pull Trolleys are free to we had a Caddy, which was very well trained and advised us very well in the blows. Overall very friendly staff, both in the pro shop and the restaurant.

Beautiful Resort Golf
Reviewed March 2, 2016
Played on 02/28/2016. The flat 18-hole Resort Course (cart for normal ambitious sportsmen unnecessary / there are modern Pushtrollys) located in an eponymous estate between Cape Town and Simon's Town, plays compliant to be boring without. There is plenty of water hazards (inc. Green Island), placed bunkers, long PAR3 and also a two dogleg. Certainly there are no particular highlights but the place is anything but monotonous. Most fairways are open from the tee and therefore playable for higher HC. Possibly a few more balls to take account of water hazards. The course condition in our game was what most fairways As well. Lush green but unfortunately to mow the grass. Played is almost like semi-rough. The greens were the maintenance state, although the worst, but could still be played. Here the club must do something more. For most clubs around Cape Town, the greens but the fairways are clearly better, but not so juicy. The game takes place in the fenced and well guarded resort. The villas are indeed ubiquitous, but do not interfere. Some tracks are along the road and you can hear some road noise. Unfortunately, many geese were on the court with the appropriate legacies. But there are also many beautiful birds and squirrels to watch. On track 16 to play along a little springbok Farm. Despite the enumerated little flaws the game was fun here. After you will pull up at the clubhouse one removed the bag, cleaned the bat and provided the Bag on cart or trolley. The staff at the pro shop is friendly and the starter sends a good mood on the round. The clubhouse is the finest and provides for the golfer in the locker room all the luxury. The balls on the driving range are free of charge. The green fee is compared, mainly because of the greens, with the equivalent of about 60, - € a bit too high. Unlike neighbors Westlake I would always prefer the round here. In South African summer a tee time reservation is recommended, since it is also very crowded. We had a start time at 7:00 am on the second morning as the first flight. So we had the otherwise ubiquitous long playing time spared and were at 10.30 enjoy a delicious breakfast. Certainly one of the top 5 spots around Cape Town.

Beautiful, spacious facility! Not spectacular but very well maintained. And yet perhaps lacks that certain "something" for an assessment 5. We'll be back.

Greens burned!
Reviewed January 29, 2015
With great expectations we have proceeded to the GC Steenberg (teurster course in Cape Town!).
Sorry, we had a lot of bad luck
- The greens are in very poor condition (burned). The pro shop has pointed out to us, but not reduced green fees.
For us in HalfWayHouse the food and drink was donated.
- The fairways on the first 9 holes only average
- The Back Nine have rewarded us with a beautiful golf architecture
Nevertheless, we would not play the course at the moment because the greens are not recover in the coming weeks.
Tip: Please call first if the greens are playable again.

Super kept place, many properly positioned bunkers, very big and fast greens. The bad reviews of other players I can not understand. The only downside, too expensive relative.

Tendire to 3.5 stars
Reviewed December 11, 2014
Not very spectacular. Stressed staff. space is well maintained. Start times will very closely so that purely played from behind although one can not even play faster because you have to wait even.
Although we are in South Africa Members you get no perks in this club.
What can be stated positively is the restaurant "Catarina's"
However, this has nothing to do with the game of golf.

A beautiful home in Cape Town
Reviewed October 14, 2014
For entry into a golf tour in Cape Town / Garden Route is a good place. Friendly staff at check in and at the pro shop. Very good range with range balls included in the price.
The elevation changes on the course are limited. Thus, an E-Cart is absolutely expendable. The Leihtrolleys were hervorrragend.
The views of the surrounding mountains support the beautiful overall impression of the place, but offers no spectacular discounts or blind punches calls. This is the place with higher Hcp well and quickly playable. Something disturbing were the almost ubiquitous Greenkeeper and workers going about their task with quite annoying machine in the flower beds. Nevertheless, a beautiful and well-kept place that is easily accessible by car from Cape Town from.

Beautiful and fair course
Reviewed March 16, 2014
Have the space in mid-March played nice and fair course with views of the mountains. There are no spectacular holes, the course is suitable for all skill levels.
Negative number on the place many repairs. Everywhere workers scurried into the bushes and around the greens, to came disproportionately added many loud lawn mower, also the game operation was extremely high. Who will like to have it quiet, is out of place here.
Service friendly, lots of helpful spirits to clean the bat.
Highly recommended is the first-class hotel on the spot with very good food, relaxation here is purely announced.

Beautiful area, but greatly overrated...
Reviewed February 24, 2014
Taking into account the traffic noise, the partially bad tee boxes, no mention of frischgesandeten greens (when booking), the invasion of greenkeepers and sprinklers all through the morning, unkempt bunkers and the wind sensitivity of the place is simply not worth the money! There are far better in the region!
