A quiet stretch of land on Cape Towns’ Lakeside houses Westlake Golf Club, at the foothills of the Silvermine mountains. Built on the foundations of loyal members from 1932, Westlake has thrived in the shadow of mountains to become one of Cape Town’s best-known member golf clubs that welcomes visitors year-round. A 2006 irrigation system change from brown water to a fully reticulated watering system from neighbouring Steenberg that has seen the course maintenance and conditions flourish in recent times, making the Westlake Golf Club the premier course that it is today. Other nearby golf attractions include Clovelly Estate, Devonvale Estate, and the Royal Cape Golf Club.
A classic parkland layout over mostly flat terrain, with towering mountains on one side gives a stadium-like atmosphere to a golf round at Westlake. The greens are made of Poa Annua which provides excellent putting surfaces year-round. Meticulous course conditions and a world-class irrigation system keep Westlake golf course green year-round. The fairways are lined sparsely with native Cape Pine trees, though with tight fairways, the low foliage on the trees make for some difficult recovery shots.
Westlake golf course is relatively short at just under 6 kilometres, but the fairways are shaped in a way that precision in shot distance is paramount to reaching a good score. The Westlake Golf Club played host to the 1999 South African Open where hospitality and meticulous course conditions provided a fantastic week of golf in the Southern Cape. The golf course is welcoming to visitors of every ability and provides a fun round of golf at all times of the year.
Practice facilities at Westlake Golf Club consist of a 160-metre driving range to practice your fairway irons. Driving is not main golf club used from the tees at Westlake; it is your irons and short-game that you will rely on to score a good round. Two chipping and putting greens surrounded by one bunker comprises Westlake’s golf practice facilities.
The clubhouse at Westlake golf club offers commanding views over the complex and nearby Silvermine Mountains. A restaurant, bar and half-way house are all offered to guests, whilst lockers are provided to store your valuables. The Pro Shop features a solid range of essentials, Westlake-branded merchandise and ample souvenirs for travelling golfers to take home.
