I play many golf courses in the Western Cape and can truly say that the condition of this course is outstanding. Coupled with that is a well stocked proshop and then - the hidden gem of the winelands - their restaurant.
The locals keep this to themselves and you can understand why. Outstanding food at affordable prices and the best views you can hope for. And then an award winning winelist.
Drive from wherever you are in the Western Cape and make a day of it. Golf and then a meal. You will come back for more!

Thoroughly enjoyed our day on a really beautiful couse surrounded by magnificent scenery. Course condition was great and the reception and book in process flawless and very pleasant.
Lunch after golf was equally enjoyable with really good well prepared food and a good wine list.

This was our least favourite golf course on this tour, don't get me wrong it was not a bad layout but very untidy around the edges, the fairways and greens were OK, the staff and caddies were great as was the club house and food.
We played this golf course purely on location, it is also an easy walk.

Nice to play with lovely views .We are on a golfing holiday and having played at Fancourt found Stellenbosch less challenging .We were unlucky with weather as we experienced some rain and it was cold .The course was however in good condition and staff we spoke to were friendly.

Played a round here with my wife prior to a friends wedding next day. Made to feel very welcome at reception (also helped us find our accommodation afterwards with maps etc!!), in the pro-shop and at the lovely half-way hut which to those new to golf in SA is almost compulsory but equally hard to resist with great food etc!!
Course is well established, in good condition and offers some lovely views of the surrounding mountains.
Excellent value especially as the kind bookings lady gave me a senior rate!
When next in SA will return to play again.

Folks
If ever in Stellenbosch and you are a golfer.
It is a must to play it.
The course is in magnificent condition.
The management team of Chris Louis Gerhard Jeandre and Marizan are a team that know how to look after you as guest.
The fairways and green are world class and a real pleasure to play on.
The beautiful surroundings under the mountains is just exquisite and is a memorable experience alround!
The food and beverage team have a superb array of things to choose from.
The Pizzas are a house speciality are world class.
Get there folks!!!

Today I did not play golf.
To sit on that on beautiful deck or verandah overlooking the beautiful golf with those colorful mountains in the background is magnificent and highly recommended for an outing for lunch or a drink.
Today I had a pizza which is a very healthy size thin base and crispy just like a pizza should be.
I had a bacon avocado and feta with rocket it was so tasty i bought take a ways for my family.
But to sit there and receive that quality of food in those lovely surroundings is just amazing.
To crown it all to get served so well by all the staff with F and B manager having a big presence makes such a difference
The chef at the pizza oven on the balcony is a master at his game.
What a pleasure folks if ever in the area spoil yourself and enjoy the food service and atmosphere at Stellenbosch golf club.

Most probably the best experience I have had in a very long time. The meal was excellent, the price @R94 for a 300g Rump steak with a small salad and chips was amazing. Compliments to the chef that prepared our meal. Very friendly and helpfull staff on duty.
