Steenberg Golf Club

South Africa, Western Cape, Cape Town
Designer: Peter Matkovich
Course Opened: 1996

The Peter Matkovich & Hayes designed golf course, consistently named one of the best conditioned courses in South Africa Golf Digest’s Annual Top 100, attracts golfers seeking a premium golfing experience.

Known for its hybrid plan, it offers traditionalists the opportunity to ‘bump and run’ (a rare shot in South Africa) in the rough around the greens, and to meet the challenges of strategically placed sand pits and waterways.The par-three, not-so-short 14th hole, features the largest green in Africa at 76 meters in length. Indigenous shrubs guard the green and the mound has been shaped to echo the distinctive mountain range behind.

The 18-hole golf course was designed to make full use of natural features and hazards such as the vineyards, pine forest and gentle waterways. Its environmental diversity gives the course its unique character, with a backdrop of Table Mountain.

The well-designed clubhouse has seen many golfers enjoying the 19th hole and hosting events. There is a pro shop and a golf academy. Visitors to the club can enjoy the driving range, chipping and putting practice areas. There is equipment for hire, and caddies and carts can be arranged weather permitting.
