Kloof Country Club

Kloof is a decent golf course, without being spectacular. There are some interesting holes, one or two where water comes in to play but ultimately it is more parkland with plenty of trees about.

We found it a quite tough to hit the greens, most were quite small and there were plenty of bunkers around to make finding the greens a challenge. Interestingly it is a par 70, so at 5670 meters off the men’s tees it isn’t exactly a short course. There’s plenty of changes in elevation but a lot of the holes were quite straight, felt like it was maybe lacking a bit of character. The condition wasn’t amazing, the fairways had pretty poor drainage and were quite boggy.

The driving range is almost non-existent, there’s space there but you’d have to bring your own balls and apart from that there was a practice green in front of the clubhouse.

Think if the course was in better condition I’d be keener to come back.

The fairways were very tight in places on long par 4s there was no landing area. The fringes around the greens were not in good repair and there was inconsistency in the different types of grass on the fairways and in the rough. Green staff didn’t pause using machinery when you went to play a shot. Some unfair and awkward tees such as the ladies on the 18th.

Logions juste à côté.

Intéressant.

They need to make it a bit cheaper, greens more friendly (softer)

Die Einrichtungen sind alt, das Clubhaus und die Garderoben stilvoll u liebevoll dekoriert. Die Fairways hängen alle, die Grüns sind teilweise klein, jedoch immer von unzähligen Bunkern eingesäumt. Oft ist sehr wenig Sand in den Bunkern. 2x mussten wir das nächste Loch erfragen, das keine next Hole Tafeln gab. Bei ca 3 Löchern wäre dies unbedingt notwendig. Es sind zwar Carts zu empfehlen, doch leider gibt es nur Dieselcarts und die stinken! Die Teeboxen sind teilweise sehr ungepflegt. Der Platz liegt etwas erhöht in den Hügeln und es war angenehm kühler. Er lebt von den vielen alten Bäumen und der tollen Flora, doch ich würde ihn nicht nochmals spielen.
