Description
Sheltered from the South-Easterly wind, the course offers tree-lined fairways, well situated bunkers and numerous water hazards. This together with the large and well undulated greens, offers a good test of skill for all levels of players.
The charm of the original Ken Elkin design has not been lost as the Berg River and the Du Toits Kloof mountains remain wonderful natural features that serve to enhance the 27-hole challenge with scenic backdrops.
Every year, this club hosts the Winelands Classic, one of the top amateur events in the country.
