The Parow Golf Club is probably the most easily reached golf course in Cape Town, being very central and just off the N1 main highway. 

Still, we regard ourselves as one of the best kept secrets of the city, especially where overseas visitors are concerned. 

Traditionally these visitors throng towards the more well known southern suburbs courses such as Mowbray, Rondebosch, Royal Cape, Clovelly and Westlake, but with the increase in tourism to Cape Town (278% between 1994 and 2002) and crowds of visiting golfers, these Clubs have had no option but to increase their fees to protect their members. 

More and more overseas visitors are realizing that the Northern golf clubs such as Parow, Durbanville, Bellville, Kuilsrivier and Milnerton offer equally good courses, and area as much of a challenge as the rest of the courses in Cape Town, whilst the fees that we charge are in effect much lower than those of the better known courses, which are being overrun by visitors. 

With this in mind, we would like to extend a hearty welcome to all visitors, both overseas as wells as SAGU affiliated.  Please check our fee structure below, and you will see that our fees are very competitive, whilst we offer all the facilities that our more famous counterparts do. 

As far as the course is concerned, we offer a gentle, park like stroll amongst some of the most abundant bird-life to be seen in Cape Town.  The course is immaculately turned out and has some very interesting water features.  There is a dam with an island which is a natural haven for the large variety of species which congregate there at sunset, and the large flocks coming in to land provide a spectacular sight to compliment your sundowners in the modern (soon to be revamped) bar. 

The prevailing South-Easter as well as the North-Westerly winds make the course very challenging, but during the Cape’s winter months (April, May, June, July & August) we have some of the most incredible days that can be experience anywhere in the world with little or no wind.  The term ‘Indian Summer’ can best be used to describe these magnificent days. 

It is also a well known fact that when most of the Cape’s courses are water-logged during the rainy season, our course dries off the fastest of all and becomes perfectly playable as little as two or three hours after heavy rain.  This is because of the fact that we have a sandy base which acts as a sponge and absorbs even the heaviest downfall with ease. 

We are a friendly Club, and like to make our visitors feel welcome.  Our resident professional is Johan Engelbrecht who is rated as one of the top 20 teaching professionals in the country, and who has been associated with our Club for some 12 years.  He runs the Pro-Shop, hires out equipment and golf carts and offers teaching lessons to young and old.

We are at this moment in time (May2004) busy with the completion of the Club’s new downstairs corporate facility which comprises a prize-giving room, bar facility and toilets built around the Pro-Shop. 

As soon as this is done, we will be revamping the upstairs existing bar facilities, which will make the most of the magnificent vista of the gentle grey giant which stands brooding over Cape Town, and also looks over the dam with it’s island (and offers braai facilities on the extended patio).
