Metropolitan Golf Club

The Metropolitan golf course has remained the jewel of central Cape Town since its creation in 1895. Recognised as one of the finest 9-hole courses on the continent, the MET (as it is affectionally known by its members and visitors) was commissioned by the City of Cape Town and rebuilt in 2010 by local Golf Course Architect, Mark Mller. The course belies the 9 hole status. With long and or separate tees, together with 14 world class greens, it plays very much like an 18-hole layout. Bent Grass greens and Kikuyu fairways line this parkland designed ground. We invite you to join us for a spectacular round of golf!The large greens and wide fairways make the course very playable for the average amateur while still a test for the lower handicapper. The course is parkland in design with Bent Grass greens and Kikuyu fairways. The golf course was designed in conjunction with the highly acclaimed Green Point Urban park and is therefore a biodiversity showcase with abundant fauna and flora. Four different species of local grasses have been planted in various grassland areas that separate the holes, giving the course a very distinctive look. While situated on the coast, the course is protected from the prevailing winds and this facilitates the ability to keep the course in a superb playing condition.
