Atlantic Beach Golf Club is an 18-hole links style course situated on the coast only 25-minutes drive north from the centre of Cape Town.

Members will tell you this is the 3rd hardest course in South Africa and in our experience they are probably right! With hardy grasses and an ever-present breeze off the ocean, 'links' perfectly describes the Atlantic Beach course and here golf can be played as it was originally intended. On calm days you can play your normal lofted shot or on windy days you can use the firm turf to play low running shots, beneath the wind. Wayward tee-shots will make life difficult, better to play conservatively as retreiving balls is not an option.

The vegetation surrounding the course is inhabited by local fauna such as Springbok and most pertinently- snakes! Stick to the course and you'll be fine but it is forbiddden to go into the rough - waist high bushes and shrubs to retreive balls.

The undulating terrain with lots of blind tee shots make this course a real challenge. There are a number of 'waste bunkers' where you can play directly off the surface, as well as normal bunkers guarding the greens. The back 9 play out towards Cape Town and the signature hole (shown above) is the par 3 12th with stunning views of Table Mountain. There a couple of small lakes on the course but these hardly come into play.

Atlantic Beach Golf Estate has been built with a serious commitment to the preservation of the indigenous fauna and flora and the Management ask you to respect their efforts in helping to protect the native plants, birds and animals that you will encounter.
