History Of Helderberg Village Golf Course

In the late 1980s, our golf course, designed by an associate of Bob Grimsdell in conjunction with the original developers of Helderberg Village began to take shape. The Golf Club was formed during 1989. Play was possible on some holes during 1989 and early 1990, and in December 1990, the first sponsored golf competition was held. The course was in its infancy in those days, but the first and subsequent golf committees have worked tirelessly to improve the course. In the mid1990s alternate tees were added to the original nine tees, to allow 18-hole rounds, and in the last few years the course has matured into one of the most scenic and challenging in the Western Cape, Tees and greens are in excellent condition: fairways are true and fair: and trees and gardens have grown and matured. The course is surrounded by some magnificent views, from the Helderberg mountain, across False Bay through to Cape Town’s Table Mountain
