About King David Mowbray Golf Club
King David Mowbray Golf Club is just under the watchful eye of Table Mountain in Cape Town. This parkland course dates back to 1910 and presents a test to every golfer. Laid over a fairly flat landscape, the tree-lined fairways and water features combined with the Cape winds make this an experience to remember.
The course has hosted the South African Open seven times and many of the world's biggest names have played here including Bobby Locke, Gary Player, Seve Ballesteros, Nick Faldo and Vijay Singh.

Our take
Seven South African Opens were decided on this old Cape Town parkland, and the tree-lined corridors under Table Mountain still ask most of the same questions.
- Serious golfersLocke and Player played Opens here and the test still stands up, tree-lined all the way with the 9th and the 17th closing out each nine hard. The wind is gentler than Cape reputation suggests, the trees and water do the policing.
- Higher handicapsFlat and easy on the legs, but water crosses your line again and again and a slice will spend all day in the trees. Swallow your pride, lay back, and the card survives.
- Buddy tripsA sensible city round between the Cape's headline courses, with a century of championship history behind it and less wind than you would expect this close to the Cape. Cheap on energy, big on stories.
Tell us who’s coming and how you like to play, and we’ll shape the right trip around you.
What you are actually facing
The walk. Flat, and an easy walk — 70 metres of climb over the round.
The wind. The wind is usually southerly, averaging 9 km/h, gusting to 33. It is the club selection that catches people out, not the yardage.
The water. 14 hazards in play. Bring a few more balls than you think you need.
The holes that will cost you. The 17th, the 9th and the 13th. The 17th is the one you will be talking about afterwards.
