Visitors can use Westlake’s public online tee sheet, and the club encourages travellers to book before arriving in Cape Town.
The course
Westlake was established on land leased from Raapkraal farm, with a cottage as its first clubhouse. A nine-hole course opened in September 1932, followed by an 18-hole layout within four years designed by Dr D.C. Murray.
The club describes the present course as an 18-hole parkland layout. Its scorecard identifies three sets of markers by colour: yellow at 5,867 m, white at 5,558 m and red at 5,100 m.
Playing Westlake Golf Club as a visitor
Visitors may play without being introduced by a member, but Westlake’s by-laws state that admission is at the discretion of the General Manager or the person in charge of the course and clubhouse for the day.
The official visitor page provides a public tee sheet with live dates, availability and prices. Availability varies substantially by date, so use the tee sheet or contact the club rather than assuming unrestricted access.
The current published green-fee card distinguishes SAGA-affiliated and non-affiliated visitors and covers three dated seasons. Eligibility for an affiliated rate should be confirmed with the club. The card expires on 31 August 2026, and the next published structure has not yet been confirmed.
When the course is busiest
The current visitor pages reviewed do not state designated visitor days. The club’s by-laws publish member allocations on Tuesday mornings and afternoons, Wednesday afternoons and Saturdays, while corporate golf days are offered on Thursdays.
These allocations are not stated as a blanket visitor ban, but they may affect availability. Check the live tee sheet or ask the club when booking.
Hire, caddies and practice
Rental sets, golf carts and trolleys are listed on the official playing-fees page and are subject to availability; the club recommends reserving carts and clubs through the Pro Shop.
The official fee page lists a caddie fee but gives no booking or availability instructions. Confirm caddie arrangements with the Pro Shop.
Westlake publishes a driving range and putting facilities. Visitor access to practice facilities may vary around member competition days, so confirm access with the club.
