Hermanus Golf Club

Hermanus Golf Club is a well-established 27-hole golf facility situated in the coastal town of Hermanus, along South Africa’s scenic Cape South Coast. Originally founded in 1952 and later expanded and redesigned by Peter Matkovich, the course features a parkland-style layout with tree-lined fairways and relatively flat terrain, making it accessible yet engaging for players of varying skill levels. The course is known for its beautiful natural surroundings, offering views of nearby mountains and the coastal landscape, while the region itself is famous for seasonal whale watching along Walker Bay.

The club provides a comprehensive golfing experience with a full range of facilities, including a driving range, practice areas, and a modern clubhouse equipped with a restaurant, bar, and lounge overlooking the course. Golfers can also access professional coaching, equipment rentals, and a well-stocked pro shop. With its reputation for consistent course conditions, welcoming atmosphere, and year-round playability, Hermanus Golf Club is regarded as one of the key golfing destinations in the Western Cape.
