Parow Golf Club moved to its present position in 1976, when the local Municipality had the course built upon a design by Ken Elkin.

As far as accessibility and general playing friendliness is concerned, Parow Golf Club is one of the best in Cape Town. Parow is a flatland (park-like) course and has an abundance of bird-life due to the massive dam in the centre of the course. Peacocks, Plovers, Guinea fowl, Hadidas, Egyptian geese, Mallards, Teal, Grouse, Pheasant, numerous smaller species, Stork, Ibis and even some Pelicans abound. This is indeed a friendly, forgiving course with numerous water hazards and a prevailing southeaster wind driving away the City smog and the heat in summer. The best days, however, are found during June and July (beginning of winter), when the balmy wind-free and sunny days can only be described as Indian summer, and the first winter rains rejuvenate the course.

The greens are very well maintained, a mixture of bent and poa grasses. Large, with gentle slopes and ringed with bunkers, they are true and fast. The fairways are a mixture of Kikuyu and Cape winter grass, and the semi-rough is clearly defined. New pathways for carts have been laid and paved, and allow a smooth ride for those less energetic golfers who prefer a bit of luxury. We cater for these with a fleet of some 23 electric and motorized golf carts for hire.

We are proud of our course, and do not aspire for it to be changed into a champion tract. We cater for the average golfer, and try to make it as pleasant and friendly as possible, with magnificent views of the Table Mountain and the abundance of bird-life. Parow will certainly remain in your memory as one of the friendliest and playable of all the Cape Town courses.
