Nine holes, tees for eighteen

The hotel’s activities page calls it a 9-hole golf course, with alternate tees for an 18-hole game. Its discover-more page says the same. The golf club page itself gives the par and the length but does not repeat the number of holes.

A short history

The hotel says the course was designed and built in 1994 by Roly Taylor, one of South Africa’s amateur golfers, with his brother Reg, and that it opened on 13 January 1996. The Club Champs are held every March.

The course in three dates
  1. 1994The course is designed and built by Roly Taylor with his brother Reg.
  2. 13 January 1996The course opens.
  3. Every MarchThe hotel holds its Club Champs.

What a guest finds

The golf club page lists a clubhouse with showers and change-rooms and a TV lounge with a fireplace. Beverages can be ordered at hotel reception before play and are delivered to the clubhouse. Golf carts are for hire. The activities page adds that carts are subject to availability. The golf club page says day visitors as well as hotel guests are welcome to play.

What we leave out

This site shows no prices, so we print none for golf or for carts; ask us for the figure for your dates. We have not played the course and do not rate it.

For the walks that leave from the hotel, read eighteen walks from one hotel door. The Cathedral Peak Hotel page has the rest, and you can ask us about a stay.

Always read the tour’s own page for the season, and your quote, before you promise a client anything. Rules can change, so we say when we read each source.
