the golf course was in good shape and has, because it's an old course, old trees along the fairways. ok to play, but nothing fancy. to mee, too much flat and back and forth.
the minus points are the following.
- phone booking max. one week in advance
- and sorry to say: they have some very snobby german members. when you have to play with them, good heavens… i had the last 5 years three encouters with such, it's enough!

Pretty neat!

We have now played the course a second time, after the greens were freshly annealed (holotining) the first time. Not top class, but nice, fair parkland course. A little bumpy up to the fairways and off the same, but the course is certainly part of the second division in the Cape Town region. So it's worth it.

Mediocre condition
Reviewed February 8, 2021
At the moment the fairways are mostly in a lamentable condition. Better laying is the order of the day, but often in the range of 5 or more club lengths. there is always a patch of grass somewhere.
The bunker sand tends towards concrete.
The greens are easy to play. however, they are at different speeds in a loose and irregular sequence, which is also frustrating.
Before that doesn't get any better, i can only recommend this place to those who have a high potential for frustration.
3 stars - but only very tightly and with a little goodwill.

No need
Reviewed January 23, 2018
On 18.1.2018 played at over 30 degrees. Flat parkland course. Big not too fast greens. Plenty of poultry (geese) in the square. Fairway, although dense but differently procured. Sand in the bunkers well playable. Only a short driving range. Overall, the condition is poor. Many big trees. (after my round there were fewer.) 860th Rand direct booking. Golf time reduced 37%, but with time restrictions.

Disappointing
Reviewed November 26, 2016
Westlake is definitely not our favorite place. It all started at the start time. At 10:00 was booked our T-time, effectively off we went at 12:00. For a tournament more participants appear to have logged in as expected. In addition, when making a reservation had to be made, the credit card details, so the green fee was already paid in advance. Nevertheless, the burden was carried out again. Extremely poor organization. The fairways are not in good condition. 2 holes could not (or shortened) to be played. A reduction in the green fee was not an issue. We are disappointed!

Does not meet expectations, but nice starter
Reviewed March 2, 2016
Played on 02/26/2016. The flat 18-hole parkland course (cart not needed) presented itself at our game in a pathetic state at least in the fairway concerned. At times, no more grass was on it, and large parts were dried up. Since where the grass was still present and green, it had different lengths. The greens were partly not optimal, but were just as still okay. The tracks are not very spectacular and the tee mostly open. High HC should have no problems, for golfers claim the place is recommended not more. Only two tracks really comes into play water and the bunkers are rather harmless. To transport harassment has been written much. No wonder, with four main roads around the facility. However, it is my max. on the tracks, the notice will go directly to the streets. I can not complain about the service myself. From Proshopmitarbeiter, via the starter to the waiters in the compulsory Halfwaypause, everyone was very friendly and accommodating. You can tell that it is not überkandidelter Club, the atmosphere also with the members is very relaxed. A driving range we have not seen. A chipping green exists between green and tee 1 18th Must know one and involves the risk of failure to be taken by the two webs. The question is why it is also so full. We had reserved the last start of the day around 14:00 three weeks before. is started in four flights in the 8-minute cycle. The playing time thus moves here incl. Break at 5 hours. At the Tee it will be announced by name from the cute Starter / called and in German a nice game desired. The rule green fee that we have paid for despite the space state is around 40, - €. This is the present state clearly too much. And then this amount has been withdrawn even two weeks before the game to the credit card. Westlake was the only club that has done this stay and played 12 courses in 3 weeks. I've understand that you are billed if someone does not appear or because of me also withdraws at short notice, but so? The three stars there are really only because of the friendliness and relaxed overall mood. Currently, the game can not be recommended here, however. The pictures on the internet give the reality is not nearly again. One can only hope that the Greenkeeper manage it again sometime.

Can you, but you do not play
Reviewed December 2, 2015
Mustapha, 1st December 2015, the organization still has a lot of upside potential... It was eg not possible to order a taxi after the round from the Proshop, Mr. Albert was overwhelmed!!!
The course would be nicely laid out and the old trees is impressive. The noise of cars from the streets around the golf course, however, seems very disturbing - pity.

Reviewed March 4, 2015
Very beautiful, scenic place. The around it, such as club house, catering (Halfwayhaus) is worthy improvement.
Most overcrowded and every few minutes a flight.
Mitunder must mnan behind slow Flights (3 or 4 ball) to wait quite a long time, which makes no pleasure.
You pack as many players on the course. Mag for the club financially interesting. For the guests less.
For the rest, at high temperatures, murderously hot and s \ ehr tiring. Can endure only when the wind blows.
Despite everything, you should have the place played absolutely times.!

Beautiful place, lousy organization
Reviewed January 26, 2015
Beautiful area with mature trees and flower beds. Unfortunately, all 7Minuten a flight, no rangers go. In HalfWayHouse not operated and loveless clearance. All in all a great pity that beautiful place could be done better.

We find the place good

The reception was very welcoming to us. The place was played with caddies and was in fairly strong winds quite a challenge. The greens very quickly. All in all... nice to play and well maintained

Nice place, but not a must!
Reviewed February 27, 2014
The reception was not very friendly. The place is well maintained, but you can hear almost everywhere to car traffic, which we found to be somewhat disturbing. There are nicer places, especially the lying nearby place in Clovelly is scenically more interesting.
A cart is not necessary, since all the holes are.
