The Westlake Golf Course, established in 1932, offers panoramic views of the Cape Peninsula Mountains. This well manicured parkland layout is recognised as being the best winter course in the Cape, famous for its gentle slopes allowing the rainwater to drain.

A main characteristic of this course is the openness of its layout. The fairways are fairly wide and short and this, provided you stay out of trouble, makes for a potentially low scoring round.

This user friendly design is a course that anyone can enjoy whatever their handicap. Accuracy off the tee will always be rewarded by a clear shot to the greens.

The Kikuyu fairways are boarded by shrubs and a variety of trees including the massive Port Jackson that towers over golfers and fairways alike.
