Moorreesburg Golf Club - Cape West Coast

Moorreesburg Golf Club is a charming 9-hole parkland golf course situated in Rivier Street, Moorreesburg, in the Swartland region of the Western Cape. Established in 1913, the club has over a century of history and plays on relatively flat terrain lined with small trees, set among the vast wheat fields that define the surrounding countryside. It is known for its broad fairways, neat presentation and welcoming atmosphere, making it accessible for golfers of varying abilities while still offering enough variety and challenge to keep more experienced players engaged.

The layout is straightforward yet enjoyable: 9 holes with a par of 35 for the full 9-hole round and able to be played as an 18-hole equivalent (par 70) using different tee positions or repeats of certain holes. The course length for the 9 holes is about 5 666 metres. It features a putting green, a driving range, and practice facilities. Golf car hire, trolleys, club hire and caddies on request are available. Visitors comment favourably on the honesty of the course’s pace of play and the friendliness of club members and staff. The clubhouse facilities include a bar, a halfway house, changing rooms, and a function hall capable of hosting up to 120 guests, which adds to its appeal for social golf as well as small tournaments.

Moorreesburg Golf Club offers very reasonable green fees and emphasises good value. Its setting close to the N7 and being just over an hour’s drive from Cape Town make it an appealing stop for travellers exploring the Cape West Coast or Swartland. It retains a rural charm with its wheat fields and agricultural surroundings, offering a serene golf experience far removed from the hustle of the city yet still accessible.
