About Swellendam Golf Club

A Legacy of Excellence Since 1947

Welcome to Swellendam Golf Club

Rated among the Top 25 Best Nine-Hole Golf Courses in South Africa, Swellendam Golf Club welcomes visitors, both local and from abroad.

Nestled at the foot of the majestic Langeberg Mountains and lying above the charming historic town of Swellendam, the course offers a scenic and rewarding experience for golfers of all levels.

Perfectly positioned along the N2—halfway between Cape Town and George—Swellendam is far more than a stopover. It's a destination in its own right: for golfers, outdoor adventurers, history lovers and travellers alike.

Our Heritage

Originally designed by Ken Elkin in 1947, our par 72, nine-hole course has stood the test of time, offering a mix of playability and challenge.

In 2024, the course underwent major upgrades as part of our Continuous Improvement Project, enhancing playability while preserving its classic charm.
