Characteristics
The new reconfigured Metropolitan Golf course was opened for play in May 2010. Lying in the shadow of Table Mountain and the Cape Town Stadium, the course belies the 9 hole status. A modern course groomed and designed to the highest standards of the best 18-holers, this historic club occupies a unique position in Cape Town close to the Waterfront, overlooked by Signal Hill. The world class greens beautiful manicured fairways make the course an enjoyment to play but still offer a stern test for the lower handicapper.
The course is parkland in design with Bent Grass greens and Kikuyu fairways. Four different local grass species have been planted in various areas of the rough, giving the course a very distinctive look. The course is well protected from the prevailing winds and his facilitates the ability to keep the course in superb playing condition. The course designer, Mark Muller, has created something of real significance, and this a “must be played” course.
The signature holes are the long par five 12th towards the Mouille Point Lighthouse, and the closing par three 18th over water.

This is a great clubhouse with great views with friendly people the course is in stunning condition even with the drought situation still ongoing in the cape. I would like to have a beer on a friday evening with my friends but sadly the bar never has the beer i want, GUINNESS, CASTLE MILKSTOUT, KILKENNY. would be nice to enjoy your hospitality at the bar in the future with my friends and talk golf etc.
Special scenic surrounding
Reviewed January 9, 2017
A nice course.
Green fairways in good condition.
Very relaxing with friendly and supportive staff. Good selection at the pro shop.
Playing with Table Mountain view around Capetown Stadium.
Not the easiest course with some water obstacles on the way.
Good value for money.

A well-kept & cozy parkland course
Reviewed December 17, 2019
The Metropolitan Golf Course is located in the middle of Cape Town and directly at Nelson Mandela Station. The course now offers no sporting highlight and is generally more of a relaxed, cozy parkland course. Nicely designed, green, flowery and well maintained! What is special is that you play the 18 holes 2x9 from different tees with different flag positions. Ie a red and a white flag is on the same green, which sometimes led to a bit of confusion :) which hole you are alluding to.
The fairways flat and hardly any (bad) obstacles that challenge you. You only have to go over water at 2 holes, but many bunkers are easily playable. Hardly rough.
I liked the many feathered spectators on the round. Unpleasant their legacies.
The atmosphere around the stadium was fantastic at dusk. Very friendly staff. There is a restaurant and a kiosk for snacks and drinks. They are currently converting something.
In terms of price, but great, for the second round we paid 200 ZAR (converted 18 €) for two. The pro shop has super cheap super new secondlife balls from top brands. 10 balls 100 ZAR (8 €). The course is not a highlight and not a comparison to the spectacular courses in South Africa but highly recommended for a spontaneous round of golf in the middle of Cape Town City.
