Darling Golf Club

A nine-hole village course with alternating tees for eighteen, seventy-five kilometres from Cape Town.

Holes18
Par72
Visitor accessOpen to visitors

Booking is by phone or email. There is no online tee sheet and no booking system of any kind, and the number the club publishes is a mobile rather than a clubhouse landline.

Published hours run Tuesday to Sunday. Monday does not appear on the list at all, so check before planning a Monday round.

Darling Golf Club
The course

Nine holes played off alternating tees to make a full eighteen, at a par of 72 over 5,877 metres as the club publishes it. So a compact village layout still gives you a full-length round rather than a short one.

The club’s own description is modest and short: a meticulously maintained nine-hole course, and a haven for golfers of all levels. It names no designer and uses no course-type label.

Playing Darling Golf Club as a visitor

The welcome is unusually specific about who it is for: whether you are a resident from Melkbosstrand, Bloubergstrand or Yzerfontein, or a visitor from Cape Town, the club says it welcomes you to its nine-hole course. No membership, introduction or handicap condition is published, and no visitor days are restricted.

Green fees are published on the golf page as an image labelled for 2026, so they are current-year and will be replaced.

What is on site

Golf is one arm of a village multi-sport club. The same site carries a lawn bowls green the club notes is graded A by West Coast Bowls, and newly upgraded tennis courts.

The clubhouse has a bar and light meals, social areas, and venue hire for functions and group bookings.

Facilities

Golf here shares a site with the wider Darling Sport Club, so the clubhouse is a communal one: a bar serving light meals, and a hall hired out for weddings, conferences and other functions. Bowls and recently upgraded tennis courts sit alongside the golf section. There is no separate pro shop or driving range.

Highlights

  • Nine holes off alternating tees for a full eighteen at par 72
  • A club that names Cape Town visitors in its own welcome
  • An A-graded bowls green and upgraded tennis courts on the same site

Yes, and the club is specific about it. Its welcome names residents of Melkbosstrand, Bloubergstrand and Yzerfontein and visitors from Cape Town, and no membership, introduction or handicap condition is published.

How many holes is Darling Golf Club?

Nine, played off alternating tees to make a full eighteen-hole round at a par of 72 over 5,877 metres. It is a compact layout that still gives a full-length round.

How do I book a tee time at Darling Golf Club?

By phone or email. The club runs no online booking system and publishes no tee sheet, and the number on its site is a mobile rather than a clubhouse landline.
