Milnerton Golf Club is located right on the Cape Peninsula in one of the windiest spots of the Cape metropolis with breathtaking views of Table Mountain.

Playing the Course
One plays nine holes out from the clubhouse and nine holes back, all the while having impressive views of the ocean and Cape Town. However, being so exposed to the elements makes this one a very challenging to course to play, especially with a regular strong southeasterly wind often blowing at gale force. The terrain is quite flat and it has no trees, so when played on a calm day, can make for a very memorable round.

Playing the Course
A steady ocean breeze coming in means that this course is a little more testing that it may seem at first. On a calm day you can play your normal lofted shots and typical style of play, whilst on windy days your style needs to be adapted and low running shots need to be played to keep under the wind. Whatever the weather this is a very easy course to enjoy, and made even more so by its stunning surroundings.

Playing the Course
The course, which was brought up to USGA standards in 2000 is a fine test of golf and well worthy of its Championship rating. A well maintained flat parkland course with impressive views of the surrounding mountains and a real pleasure to play on. Do not be fooled by the apparent easiness of the course, as the narrow fairways and heavily bunkered greens make this a real test even for the most professional of golfers!
