A flat street circuit, but nice
Reviewed November 21, 2023
Depending on the wind (we had >30 km/h plus gusts), the course is easier or more difficult to play.
Fairways and greens are in good condition, but the entrance and clubhouse need an overhaul.
Road traffic is visible, but not really annoying.
We walked 18 holes from 2pm and paid R250 each... so pretty cheap.

You can play, but you don't have to...
Reviewed March 21, 2021
Well, the entrance is not very convincing and the first four - five holes weren't in a particularly good condition... the whole course looks pretty battered, at least on the first 10 holes. It gets better from hole 11, but overall the course is not worth a long detour. In addition, it was very windy today and the traffic on the surrounding main roads is already disturbing.
Too many compromises, even if for little green fee...

Flat and a bit boring
Reviewed January 13, 2020
Very cheap green fee on Sunday, 18 rather boring holes, staff rather unfriendly. Not worth the detour.

Relaxed golf with wind
Reviewed November 27, 2019
All very friendly and helpful
9 holes played for about 20 € - good condition
Strong wind - so that the cars do not bother so much, because everything goes down in the "wind of the wind".
A good start - repetition not necessary

Relaxed Golfing
Reviewed February 11, 2019
We played the course in December 2018. The course was in very good condition and despite our start time on a Saturday afternoon, the game pace was OK. The holes are varied and feasible. The clubhouse is quite simple, so after the round we drove to the nearby driving range or their burger bar. A relaxed Saturday afternoon!

Road noise on a flat meadow
Reviewed January 25, 2019
Played on 28.11.2018, HCP 11
The name "Strand" is Afrikaans and means in English "Beach" - in English: "Strand". The club is located in Cape Town suburb "beach". Therefore perhaps surprising:
The golf course is NOT on the beach, but unfortunately in the middle of town, that is, surrounded by main roads, so that the round of traffic noise is accompanied. Nevertheless frequented...
Otherwise, the place is rather unspectacular. Bumpy grass off the fairways, many bushes, some trees, bigger bunkers, a few water hazards. Scenic views in one direction (mountains), barren houses and streets in the other direction.
Interesting are the greens - quite fast and barely visible undulating - tricky.
A cart is not needed - the place is (in a double sense) flat.
Conclusion: Was Ok. You do not have to play, but you can take it with you if you want to complete the "Platz-Sammlung", but you will not make it to the top 100 in South Africa. Good 2 stars (In the "Golf Bear Ranking": 4 out of 10 points.)

Uncomplicated golfing
Reviewed January 5, 2019
We had a nice round of three, the course is varied and has recovered well from the drought. Halfway House has nice service and a good & cheap offer.
Ideal for a relaxed round.

Played 14.02.2018! Can only say despite the lack of water in the region, the course was one of the few which was still green! There are also large lakes on the course where water is available! Place was in good condition greens in top condition, caddies were also very good! Anytime I would play here again!

Well suited for entry
Reviewed January 30, 2018
Located in the middle of the city and easy to reach. Flat parkland course without big aha moments. Water and trees are available as well as larger streets left and right of the square. The greens and their surroundings were juicy fresh and good to play despite the general lack of water. Normal costs the green fee 550 Rand for real pensioners over 65 years, it costs Mondays 150 Rand.

Alternative
Reviewed December 13, 2016
To the right is expensive places favorable golfing possible. Certainly not spectacular because it is a flat parkland course. Sometimes (in the first 9) mighty old trees in the way unfavorable for the score but the soul is with reverence for it - or below. What interests at the sight a blow more or less. "Hmm, maybe it is better to constantly to look monotonous Resort booths in expensive De Zalze?". If you want to enter the "Zalzekante", then necessarily play the second. 9 Lying on the other side of a busy main road, vis-a-vis a "Weißentownship". Slightly monotonous without shadows, because the planting is young.
Overall, this place is not an oasis of tranquility. Greens and fairways well maintained by water wealth. Secretariat very friendly and professional. Driving Range does his services for engraving. We needed so around 13:00 not even a start time. Location fine. Provide powerful things in snack quality. but there is no restaurant in the traditional sense, but rather a HalfWayHouse.

Maximum suitable for beginners
Reviewed March 2, 2016
Played on 02/12/2016. The flat 18-hole course (cart not needed) near Sumerset West is not in the beach, but the sea, as the name suggests possibly. The impression is rather Parkland and most tracks come unspectacular. The one or other water hazard (partially without water) come or one or the other mighty tree into play. Unfortunately we found was completely dried fairway. Otherwise, the maintenance condition was fine, especially the greens were lush green, well maintained and quickly. Unfortunately hears and sees on the entire site traffic surrounding the busy streets. The season was quite busy on a Friday afternoon, was so that started in 4-seater flights, among which also suffered the game speed and it was five hours on the road for round incl. The compulsory Halfwaypause. A start time reservation is recommended necessarily in the South African summer here. The staff in very simple clubhouse / ProShop was busily friendly, green fees with converted 27, - € very low. The driving range is recommended not particularly since very narrow and looks more like a field. A special feature is, on the first tee you will be especially popular over loudspeakers. There are certainly better places around Cape Town, but possibly for the entry into the holiday alternative.

Beach
Reviewed November 22, 2014
Beach golf club we played yesterday for two (24 & 28 HCP).
On the basis of the price (400 RPP), the well-maintained course and the nice employee in the pro shop, we awarded 4 points.
However, one must be aware that here on a "large traffic island" and that this course plays no experience like Simola or Pezula (Knysna).
The wind is so strong here that our bags are turned over several times with trolley.
All in all we had a nice afternoon and can recommend the place and especially for medium HDC'er.

Beach
Reviewed February 24, 2013
Despite many German, it amazes me that there are no reviews. The site is located near the sea. Therefore, a lot of wind. The first 4 holes forgive any mistakes and require a bit of tactics. In general, the front nine is more difficult than the back 9 Although the course is flat and does not have such a great outlook as other courses in the region it is highly recommended. He was he in good or for the value for money (200 Sun Rd) very good condition. Super suitable for a demanding round of golf in addition to the "top places" for reasonable money. Cute, help heaters pro shop. The average golfer should enjoy themselves firstonce here before he can sunk at Pearl Valley 30 balls and did not really have fun.
