Golfing is a very popular activity in South Africa and many quality golf clubs are available. Two of the best ones are Germiston Golf Club and Milnerton Golf Club. But which one of them is going to be the most suitable for you? This blog highlights the differences in some factors, such as location, course standard, facilities and more, to assist in the decision-making process.
Location and Accessibility
Germiston Golf Club is situated within the city of Germiston in Gauteng province. It is strategically located close to the N3 highway. Milnerton Golf Club is situated about 15 km from Cape Town and borders the Atlantic Ocean. It is located a bit far away from the central business district, but it has beautiful views of Table Mountain and the Atlantic Ocean. It could be more suitable for golfers who may prefer location and accessibility over anything else. Milnerton would be of interest to those who are interested in a vacation-style course in an attractive coast region.
Course Conditions and Layout
Germiston Golf Club is a parkland-style 18-hole course with rolling fairways and water hazards as well as bunkers. Tree-lined fairways add challenge. Milnerton’s links-style course directly on the water’s edge contains firm and fast fairways before the wind blows in. Clean greens and a beautiful coastline make it an aesthetically appealing destination. When it comes to park-like fairways and perfectly manicured greens framed by a stunning natural backdrop, then Milnerton Golf Club has to be the place for this.
Practice Facilities and Amenities
Milnerton triumphs once more in terms of practice facilities by having a magnificent driving range and expansive putting and chipping greens. Well, as for practice areas, Germiston does have enough, but not as grand as what has just been described. Both have facilities such as a clubhouse with a locker room, pro shop and restaurant.
To Sum up
Milnerton Golf Club is the choicest club, situated on the beachfront, with a delightful course, excellent facilities and a good reputation. However, the fees are steep for these plans and the choice of membership plans is restricted. For golfers who are seeking an accessible and versatile premium club in Gauteng, Germiston Golf Club is still worth visiting. Compare your location requirements, financial capacity and playing priorities to determine the better option.
