Clovelly Country
Club: Nestled in the pristine and tranquil Silvermine Valley
close to Fish Hoek in Cape Town lies Clovelly Country Club. This
relatively short layout, built among sand dunes, rewards accuracy off
the tee and provides players with scenic views of the . Known
for its superb greens.
With its lawn bowling greens, tennis courts and one of the finest golf
courses in South Africa, Clovelly offers its members and visitors a
memorable experience. Clovelly - like fine Cape wines - improves
steadily with age, and its vintage and quality is well established
throughout South Africa, and indeed, beyond our shores. This
reputation is founded on the warmth of Clovelly's "family" character
and its outstanding facilities.
Course Details: Clovelly ranks as one of the finest courses
in the Cape Peninsula. Clovelly was designed by Dr Charles Molteno
Murray, one of the best known golf architects of his day and advocate
Bobby Lewin was responsible for much of the magnificent landscaping.
Together they produced one of Southern Africa's most picturesque and
challenging courses.
Famous for its rolling, computer-irrigated fairways and undulating
holes, Clovelly complements its rich coastal environment. Natural sand
dunes abut the course, which is blessed with water features and a wide
variety of indigenous fauna - especially birdlife such as guinea fowl,
pheasant, peacock and steppe buzzard - and flora, notably the variety
of trees which line the fairways. Unlike some other local courses,
there is no noise intrusion from roads or railways, and both course
and club house enjoy privacy and security. Clovelly's
championship-quality greens (bent grass/poa annua mix) are among the
finest in .
Signature Hole: There are quite a few tight holes, but one of
the best is the par-4 fourth, with out-of-bounds and a stream on the
left, and a green guarded by a water hazard.
Dress Code: Appropriate attire on the golf course and
smart/casual dress in the club house areas is expected at all times.
Members and visitors are encouraged to adhere to the dress code norms
applicable to a premier Club. (Only soft-spike shoes are allowed at
Clovelly). |
