Set in the Cape Town suburb of Lake Side, with its back enclosed in the walls of the Silvermine Mountains, Westlake Golf Course has gained an illustrious reputation as one of the Cape’s premiere courses. The natural beauty and wildlife that the surrounding mountains have added bring forth an element that most city suburb golf courses can only dream of. 

Towering flat pine trees which line many of the fairways are a highlight as well as a characteristic feature of the course. To achieve a good score, you have to stay out of the trees. Westlake has an interesting but user-friendly design and quite a few doglegs. From the first to the eighteenth hole, every step affords panoramic views of the surrounding mountains.  The par 4, 12th, Westlake’s signature hole deserves a special mention with tall pines flanking the right hand side of the fairway and offering a challenge to most golfers.
