Golfing in Hermanus

Hermanus Golf Club is perfectly set in the beautiful town of Hermanus on the Cape Whale Coast merely 90 minutes from Cape Town. Set at the foot of the Klein River Mountains, the views over the bay are breath-taking.

The course boasts a spectacular 27 holes. Originally designed by the legendary Bob Grimsdell it was not surprising that Peter Matkovich, as South Africa’s foremost golf course architect, was retained to infuse his special brand of flair and experience to maximise the potential on this scenic and gentle landscape. The flair is immediately noticeable in the use of new water and rocky features, as well as the introduction of visually pleasant grassy mounds adding definition and shape to the holes.

The changes have achieved a great boost to the challenge of this golf course. The improvements have created an opportunity for a real challenge if the course is played from the back tees, while the introduction of different tees (championship, members, seniors and ladies) will allow all levels of golfers to participate in competitions. Superb new greens and bunkering have been introduced to the course that has been considerably lengthened.

The course is set around a restored wetland which provides for abundant birdlife and fynbos the fauna unique to the Cape Floral Kingdom. Hermanus Golf Club is a fantastic experience for golfers of all levels and the natural beauty and well-manicured course will create a special golf memory.

 Hermanus, on the Cape South Coast, is a charming fishing village famous for the best land-based whale-watching in the world-famed by the migrating southern right whales that come here annually to calve

 With its unparalleled scenic beauty, modern infrastructure, upmarket shops and endless adventure options, it’s little wonder that Hermanus has grown in size and popularity during the last decade. The Hermanus Whale Festival, held annually, has become one of the Cape’s most attended events and the Southern Right whales are pleased to entertain us while they return to calve in this delightful part of the Cape.
